FAQ of the moment:

Though we don’t often see it written out, Prince Charles is technically “The Prince Charles”. His siblings are also “The Prince/Princess” because they are children of the sovereign.

When the Queen was born, she was known as Princess Elizabeth of York. Upon the abdication of King Edward VIII, Elizabeth’s father became the new king. Elizabeth was then styled as “The Princess Elizabeth” since she was the daughter of the king.
