  1. In Britain he would get a royal title issued by the queen like "Duke of la-la land" or similar


  2. When a man marries a princess or a queen, he does not take his wife's rank and become automatically a prince or a king. In (English) common law a man retains his name upon marriage.  Conversely, when a woman marries a prince or a king, she becomes automatically a princess or a queen; this is in keeping with (English) common Law whereby a woman is entitled to her husband's name.

    The husband of a princess or a queen can have a peerage or a title conferred upon him by the Sovereign. For example, when The Princess Anne, The Princess Royal married Captin Mark Philips, as is customary, the Queen is believed to have offered Mark Phillips an earldom on his wedding day, which he turned down. This may also have been the specific wish of Princess Anne, who wanted to shield future children from the publicity that courtesy titles might bring. They thus became the first grandchildren of a sovereign to carry no title.

  3. i think that is what happened to Lady Di before she became Princess Di....if its the other way around, i think he's a Prince...

  4. This is a reserved calling.

    He becomes a frog

  5. It's discretionary.  Look at examples such as Tony Armstrong Jones, and poor, silly Mark 'Fog' Phillips.  Neither became princes, and Fog didn't receive a title at all (other than Fog).  Even Philip became Duke of Edinburgh initially, even when his wife became Queen, and wasn't formally made a prince - although everyone called him Prince Philip - until much later.

  6. I think  he  would become a  prince after  all  Grace  Kelly  became  Princess  Grace after  she  married  the  prince of  Monaco.

  7. yes,like lady di and grace monaco.yes
