Just one question, the style of Prince for Frederick, when his parents were not acknowledge by the head of the Royal House as an equal marriage. Secondly the title is not not recognised in England..
Only uses the surname of von Preussen with no style of Prince.

I agree with you the titles SHOULD NOT be used - but other posters will take the opposite view. I have simply followed the 'styles' the family have used in the engagement announcement. I note Debrett gives the style of Prince to the father but not to his children. His youngest dau is styled Hon Mrs James Tollemache
