8 British Royal Titles Explained

While most of us commoners are familiar with terms like queen or king, princess or prince, there are a handful of other titles used in the British royal family that are slightly less familiar.

Here, a full primer on every title in the English peerage system, so you can avoid any royal faux pas should you ever run into Her Majesty.

A consort is the husband or wife of the reigning monarch. Although the late Prince Philip was royal by blood, he was not the king.

Earl Or Countess

Example: Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex & Sophie, Countess of Wessex

Viscount Or Viscountess

Example: James, Viscount Severn

Viscounts are often the children of an earl, like Prince Edward’s son James, but it’s also a title that can be given.

BARON OR BARONESS

A baron or baroness title can be passed down or bestowed. The rank was initially created to denote a tenant-in-chief to the monarch.
