This is a spur of another discussion, but on the Royal Family's Web
site, it refers to Viscount Severn as HRH:  " The Earl and Countess of
Wessex with their baby son, Viscount Severn, at his Christening at
Windsor Castle, 19 April 2008. His Royal Highness, who was born in
December 2007, received the names James Alexander Philip
Theo."  (http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page1730.asp|Click on the
baby's photo.)  If it's on the Queen's Web site, it seems an
authoritative response to the question as to how he is to be referred.

It certainly vindicates some members of this group....

That's very interesting.  I wonder if it was a mistake?  Either way, I
guess he's HRH until the Queen says otherwise.

I really don't know why someone doesn't ring up and ask.  When the question
of whether the Earl & Countess of Wessex were ever known as Lord and Lady
Wessex was raised here, I rang Buckingham Palace press office and asked. I
was put through to their office. The answer was 'no'.  Heaven only knows
*why* because it's nonsense but the answer is still 'no' in terms of
everyday use.  
If it's a straight answer that's required as to how to address a royal,
that's the place to get it.

It is the first time that this happens. Can one be a HRH without being
a Prince?

Duchess of Cornwall.  ;-)

The Duke of Edinburgh from 1947 to 1957  :)- Hide quoted text -

He was a Prince at least from the time his patent as Duke of Edinburgh
passed the Great Seal, simply not "of the United Kingdom of GB &
Northern Ireland", thats all.

1) All dukes and duchesses are princes and princesses according to
their ancient and most formal style.
2) the Letters Patent conferring styles and titles on his children in
1948 describe him as "His Royal Highness Prince Philip Duke of
Edinburgh", so in terms of the most important person that mattered,
the King, he was a prince.
