Prince Edward mirrored Anne’s stance when he and his wife, Sophie, welcomed their own children. Their daughter Louise was styled “Lady Louise Windsor,” and their son James received the courtesy title “Earl of Wessex.”
“We try to bring them up with the understanding that they are very likely to have to work for a living,” Sophie explained in an interview with The Times in 2020.
“Hence we made the decision not to use HRH titles. They have them and can decide to use them from 18, but it’s highly unlikely.”
