: Incorrect. Andrew and Edward's titles of Duke
: and Earl are essentially courtesy titles.
:
: As such, their titles of Prince of the
: United Kingdom, and their rank as children
: of the Sovereign mean that they are able to
: wear the coronet of a Prince, and use this
: in their coat of arms.
:
: A good indication of the coronet that
: Princes, Princesses, Peers and Peeresses
: would and are entitled to wear, is to look
: at their coat of arms and see which is there
: depicted.
:
: I created a thread on the coronets that
: royals are entitled to wear long ago, and it
: has since disappeared; but it is important
: to remember that despite having peerage
: titles, royals will never wear the coronets
: associated with those titles; they will
: always wear the coronets associated with
: their royal ranks - as after all, royal rank
: is higher in the social precedence than any
: courtesy peerage titles they may have use
: of.
:
: Here is a full list of illustrations of the
: British Coronets associated with the
: different royals and also peerages,
: explaining who is entitled to wear which
: (and use in the heraldry).
