  1. King/Queen Regnant

    Queen/Prince Consort(spouses to the sovereign)

    Prince/Princess who are the heir apparent or heir presumptive to the throne

    Prince/Princess

    All of the above may bear a ROYAL version or versions of these peerage titles:

    Duke/Duchess,Marquess/Marchioness,

    Earl/Countess,

    Viscount/Viscountess,Baron/Baroness

    For example,Charles,Prince of Wales is also Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick and Baron Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland. Royal Dukes,et cetera,are all higher in precedence than the non-royal peerage.

    Non-royal peerage members are:

    Duke/Duchess

    Marquess/Marchioness

    Earl/Countess

    Viscount/Viscountess

    Baron/Baroness

    Non-peerage:

    Baronet/Baronetess

    Knight/Dame

    These are all of the UK titles.There is a site that lists and provides histories of all European Titles at http://www.heraldica.org/topics/odegard/...

    that gives a little history as well


  2. The aristocracy in the following order includes:

    King, Queen

    Prince, Princess

    Duke, Duchess

    Marquess, Marchioness

    Earl, Countess

    Viscount, Viscountess

    Baron, Baroness

    Also, a baronet is not included among the peerage, but the title can be inherited. Below a baronet, is a knight, which is a title of honor rather than aristocracy. Hope this helps.
