True, though as some on the news have pointed out, this one is much more likely to be the future of the monarchy than Anne's granddaughters.

I think you mean Her Majesty, cuz. She hasn't been HRH for 61 years.

I assume that by HRH you mean William, not He-Who-Has-Not-Yet-Been-Named. William is Earl of Strathean, and that is the title of precedence in Scotland, just as Duke of Cambridge is the title of precedence in England. So, in England, William is HRH The Duke of Cambridge, while in Scotland he is titled HRH The Earl of Strathearn. His peerages supersede his status as prince.

Because QEII has decreed that the children of the first-born of the Prince of Wales will be entitled to be called prince or princess, Newborn-Son will be called HRH Prince _____ of Cambridge, just as before being given a peerage, William was HRH Prince William of Wales.

I meant Prince ____ of Cambridge, using his one of his daddy's lesser titles as a courtesy title, but wasn't how sure that worked for Royals. And unrelated but something funny occurred to me last night. The commonwealth realms are all ruled by a Queen, yet IIRC with the exception of the UK, none of them have any type of nobility any more.
