[Untitled][edit]

This statement is incorrect: "Since the unification of England and Scotland in 1603, the titles have fallen from habitual use". England and Scotland were not united until 1707: although the King of Scots (James VI) acceded to the English crown in 1603, until 1707 there were two crowns resting on the one head, and also two parliaments and two sovereign states. Can someone please determine whether the terms fell from habitual use after the Union of the Crowns in 1603 or the Union of the Parliaments in 1707, and amend accordingly?

Are you sure they're "inseparably conjoined"? It seems more likely they're joined to avoid repetition, e.g. "Prince of Scotland & Great Steward of Scotland" sounds a bit clumsy. Have changed it accordingly.

Surely it’s not still William[edit]

..as he’s now prince of wales. So who now holds the title? I’m assuming not Harry 213.205.198.131 (talk) 09:09, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@213.205.198.131 Did you not read the article the title is held by the monarch's eldest son ie: Prince William Penrithguy (talk) 01:49, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

The article Lord High Steward of Scotland should be merged into this one. The only real content in that article could easily fit in #Great Steward. As for the list, the pre-1398 High Stewards could be listed, and then a note that says from thereafter the title was "always held by the Duke of Rothesay. estar8806 (talk) ★ 16:37, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The highest royal rank in Scotland is Duke[edit]

The Peerage of Scotland has no role of Prince. -----> Peerage of Scotland

Royal Family Website Makes no Reference to a Prince of Scotland[edit]

No disrespect to the Royal Family, but the Official Site of the Royal Family makes no reference to a Prince of Scotland. According to chronological order, the Scottish Monarchy ended with James I https://www.royal.uk/

search the site and one will find no mention of the Prince of Scotland. Much like there is no Prince of England or Prince of Ireland Britishroadshow (talk) 17:45, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

His Royal Highness the Duke of Rothesay[edit]

William has since been known as "His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales", except in Scotland, where he is called "His Royal Highness the Duke of Rothesay". The letters patent formally granting him this title and that of Earl of Chester were issued on 13 February 2023.

Not a Prince but a Duke.
