Prince Harry absconded from the monarchy but still refers to himself as Duke of This and Prince of That, an ingrained habit that illustrates just how much the Brits lust over their naming rights.
Which is why those to whom it matters might idle away the hours wondering if and when they, too, might receive a coveted title of some sort. After all who wants to rub elbows at the dinner table with Joe Nobody when one can clink glasses with the Duke of Earl?
That brings us to the children of Camilla Parker Bowles. She is married to the heir to the throne, Prince Charles and great speculation has arisen in the kingdom as to what titles her offspring might receive when their stepdad ascends the throne.
Royal Family News – Camilla Parker Bowles Is Married To Prince Charles
Believe it or not, not everyone in the royal family has a title, although the ones you’ve heard about, those making headlines (we’re looking at you Harry) do.
Camilla first married Andrew Parker Bowles and they have two children, Tom and Laura.
In what may dismay some, before Camilla married Charles she made him Tom’s godfather thus Charles’ stepson is also his godson. Awkward?
Royal Family News – Do Camilla’s Children Have Titles?
Given all the cross relations going on for Tom and Laura they are still not known as princes, princesses, or by any other title.
Many royal fans wonder if this changes when Charles becomes king and Camilla will be the queen consort.
Royal Family News – Will Camilla’s Kids Be Given Titles?
According to Insider, the adult kids of Camilla are not likely to be gifted with fancy pants titles. Will this cause angst for Tom and Laura who have gotten by just fine without them up to now?
Tom once said, “My mother married into it. She’s part of it. We’re the common children. We’re just on the side.” So there you have it folks, Tom seems to know his place in the monarchy which is Nowheresville.
Now, if Harry would just get the same memo.
