The Eldest son of an Earl is usually titled a Viscount. Like Viscount Linley (son of Princess Margaret and the Earl of Snowden). I think also that Diana's brother Charles was Viscount of Spencer before their father died and he became Earl.
However, Prince Edward is Viscount Severn (as well as Earl of Wessex), yet his son James is also Viscount Severn. I'm a bit confused as to why James isn't Viscount Wessex.
My best guess is that at some point he will probably be announced as Prince George, Viscount Strathearn - probably when he has his first official visit to Scotland.
Or maybe not because Princes William and Harry have no Rothesay titles.
