Danish queen strips four grandkids of royal titles to give them normal lives

2. In a sense, this is following the British lead

The children of Elizabeth's youngest son are not 'Princess' and 'Prince':

Upon both of their births, Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex opted not to give their children prince and princess titles, although they can choose to receive the titles when they turn 18, according to the 1917 Letters Patent, which decrees that all children of the monarch's heirs have princely status and can use the designation His or Her Royal Highness.

"We try to bring them up with the understanding they are very likely to have to work for a living," the Countess of Wessex told Times of London about their decision to not give Louise and James titles. "Hence we made the decision not to use HRH titles. They have them and can decide to use them from 18, but I think it's highly unlikely."

And Louise has turned 18 since that interview, and hasn't taken the HRH title. She still has the 'Lady' title, but that's like the Danish children getting a 'Count' title.

(And Princess Anne's two children never got any titles, but that was because the sexist rules when they were born said children of royal women didn't get royal titles.)
