well I thought it was pretty unlikely that anyone marrying a princess, in the UK nowadays would wish for or be offered a title. In Margarets day, yes it was felt that the children of a princess, near the throne like Marg or Pss Alexandra, should not be merely "master and Miss X". But by the time Anne married in the 70s, the mood had changed.. and while I believe the queen still did want to give Mark a titlte, so that her future grandchild, (when Anne was pregnant).. would not be merely "master Peter Philips... Mark and ANne were very much against it.. He felt that he would be taken more seriously in his work and as a person, if he was making his way in the world by his own efforts and he wanted the same freedom for his children.
