Just curious - the Duke of York's daughters are styled Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Yet, the Earl of Wessex's children are Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Windsor. Any explanation?

20) Arthur Chatto (b 1999), younger son of Lady Sarah Chatto, daughter of Princess Margaret

This is interesting, because it is surprisingly clear to me. It passes to the eldest, then their eldest, and once those options are exhausted, it goes to the sibling at the lowest level.

Okay good, that was my assumption but I lost track once it started getting away from QEII's territory. I would love to see this in family tree view! I need a process flow diagram
