James, I never said anything about the United States granting titles.
I have also been well-aware that with respect to documentation, etc, that the primary documents of concern at any moment to any person resident in a country of which they are a citizen are that country’s documents. There is no need for an American citizen in the United States to have non-American royal titles and styles on their American documents.
Lilibet doesn’t need to have a birth certificate from the United Kingdom or be issued a passport from the United Kingdom with a royal title on it to actually have that title though, which is what Johan was implying. She is surely a British citizen and is *entitled* to a British passport though but even if she weren’t a British citizen she is still a British princess.
I thought it obvious that this was the nature of my response to Johan.
You also previously stated: " I don’t think the US would say anything about it."
And I reiterate, the U.S. does in fact say something about the granting AND the recognition of hereditary titles within its borders. They are prohibited from being used in legal documentation issued by federal/state authorities. In that very clause of the constitution which explicity prohibits such.
