What title does a king's brother have?

Question

Is he a prince? Or a duke? I don't know, but I need to. Don't ask questions. Lives depend on this.

Answer 1

King Louis XIV's brother was called "Monsieur".

But that significant title was bestowed on everyone after the Revolution. However, the claimant to the French Throne is addressed "Monseigneur", his wife "Madame".

Answer 2

Depends on the country but in the UK all the Queen and Prince Philip's children had the title Prince or Princess from birth. Prince Charles immediately became Duke of Cornwall on his grandfather's death as the heir to the Throne always bears that title, he became Prince of Wales when he was nine but was not formally invested until he was 21 (Prince of Wales is not an automatic title). Princess Anne refused a title for her first husband when she married him although she was herself created Princess Royal in 1987.

Prince Andrew was created Duke of York on his wedding, Prince Edward was created Earl of Wessex on his wedding and it was announced that he will evenutally inherit the title Duke of Edinburgh, however, this will ultimately be up to the monarch after the Queen dies.

Answer 3

If born into the royal family,a king brother first starts off as a royal prince. When the prince comes of age he can receive other titles as well.Prince Andrew, Duke of York,Earl of Inverness and Baron Killyleagh is a good example of a holder of multiple titles;he is brother to the Prince of Wales who will one day be king. His elder brother, Charles, also has several titles as well: he is Charles,Prince of Wales,Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick and Baron Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland. And bear in mind that these are "Royal" Dukes,Earls, and so on,titles higher in precedence than the regular aristocratic titles.

Answer 4

All royal offspring of a monarch will have the full title and style of His or Her Royal Highness Prince or Princess. Royal Princes will also receive "Royal Dukes" and "Earls" as additional titles. A royal Prince will always be referred to as "HRH Prince X, Duke of X" or "HRH Prince, Earl of X".

Answer 5

Prince

but he could also be a duke if the title is bestowed by the king/queen

Charles is a Prince......but he is also a duke.  I guess they could carry all kinds of titles if they are bestowed on them

""Queen Elizabeth's father was PRINCE Albert, DUKE of York.  He was the second son of King George V""

Answer 6

Prince, and most likely duke and count of other areas of either the country or colonies

Answer 7

prince

Answer 8

Usually he'll be a Prince.  In some monarchies, though, he might not have any title in how own right - even in Britain, it would be possible for the king's siblings to have no title if the crown ended up going down a different branch of the family tree.
