None of those countries use "The" or "Mrs XX" in their official royal titles in their native language, with the exception of Princess Astrid in Norway having "fru Ferner" attached to her title (which was not repeated in the next generation with her niece).
.
But UK clearly does since Beatrice and Eugenie’s official titles in the court circular includes ”Mrs Edoardo Mapelli-Mozzi” and ”Mrs Jack Brooksbank” wich in itself is very oldfashioned and would imply that the royal women are their husbands property…. Princess Michael of Kent is another example to that…
The ”The” title in UK seems to have been to indicate that they are children of a Monarch (and for Prince Philip who was accorded that status according to his death announcement)
Perhaps i shouldn’t have made the comparison to Norway, Denmark and Belgium to avoid misunderstanding… My point was only that these countries today not practise any ducal titles for younger children of the monarch…
Princess Astrid is not an ”H.R.H” since she married… Neither is the swedish princess’ Christina, Desirée and Margaretha. Their ”Mrs” is a part of their name rather than a title… It was a compromise to allow them to still being called ”Princess” while loosing their ”H.R.H” status…. Princess Charlotte won’t face any risk of loosing her ”H.R.H” unless she marries a criminal..:
