It is to be distinguished from a title shared among cadets, borne as a courtesy title by a peer's relatives, or acquired through marriage. Characteristics * The title is officially borne by only one person at a time: ** e.g. British peerages or "William, Prince of Wales" vs. "Princes George and Louis of Wales". * The title may continue to be borne by the grantee, with authorization of the head of the house, whether the country is a monarchy or a republic.Pierre-Yves Monette, Beroep: Koning der Belgen, 2003 * The title may be drawn from any rank, but a royal titleholder's precedence derives independently from kinship to the sovereign (e.g. royal duke); "Duke" is frequent, but lower titles have often been borne by dynasts and pretenders.Earl of Wessex, Count of Barcelona or Count of Flanders * The title may or may not belong to the noble hierarchy of the country if borne b ...
