I would imagine in some cases he would, and in others he wouldn't.
Such as in the UK sometimes Princess Anne ranks higher than Camilla or Sophie because she is the natural daughter of the Queen, in others she ranks lower because she is a female, and Sophie and Camilla are spouses of male children.

If that makes any sense?

Camilla ranks higher than Anne, she is the Princess of Wales, wife of the heir to the throne. When Charles becomes King, Camilla will become Queen, thats the constitution.
It her her business though how she wants to be known. Even though technically she is the PoW she decided to be known as DoC. Maybe one day she is technically Queen but decides to be known as Princess consort.

Just like a son has been automatically associated with being heir apparent. Things change. Wouldn't it be weird if Daniel is left as prince consort during Victoria's reign and then their hypothetical daughter-in-law becomes queen upon their hypothetical son's accession as king?

Yes it would! Well, I guess changing times bring a degree of awkwardness. Maybe there wouldn't be so much of a problem with a King Consort in the next generation? It may be even stranger if their hypothetical daughter's husband becomes King.

When i am out shopping with my mom i am perfectly happy with walking 3 steps behind her. That way i know what stores she thinks are best for our purpose. I dont think Daniel cares if he have to walk 3 steps behind his love, he will have a better wiew of her then after all

Just a random question, shouldn't be Daniel referred to as HRH Prince Daniel?
I was reading SRF calendar on this board where he is referred to simply as Prince Daniel, but on the website of SRF he's referred to as HRH Prince Daniel, so which one is correct?

Daniel's style and title in full: His Royal Highness Prince Daniel of Sweden, Duke of Västergötland.
It's probably easier to call him Prince Daniel.

Thank you, that's what I though!
It just caugh my eye, since both Madeleine & CP were referred to as HRH, but Daniel not.

[JessRulz]

In the forum calender, Daniel is referred to as HRH - just in conjunction with Victoria as 'TRH':

TRH Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel

Daniel will continue his "prince school" - the induction programme in the mid September.
His mentor Jan Warren said that anybody can see that Daniel thrives in his new role, you can see it from his good mood.

I think it is excellent that Daniel is publically given credit for approaching his princely duties in a professional way. I also applaud the fact that his mentor is given credit for the continuing transformation as well.

Only the inner circle really know Daniel. As a Prince without a military background, he urgently needs to obtain a major charitable purpose - he needs a very big role in a very important good cause to give him a role in life.
