Details of the Letters Patent signed by the Queen on 31 December 2012 decreeing that all children of the Duke of Cambridge (heir to the heir to the British throne) would be titled Prince or Princess are released in London. Before this change, only the eldest son would have been called Prince, daughters would have had the title of Lady. Issuing a Letters Patent allows the monarch to give orders without involving the UK Parliament or the realms.
