The title Duke of York is a title usually awarded to the second son of the British monarch, unless the title is already held by a male descendant of an earlier Duke of York. The current Duke of York is HRH The Prince Andrew, second son of Queen Elizabeth II.

It seems that there is a precedent for giving the title of Duke of York to a second son. Not counting King George VI (who had no sons and was the father of the present Queen), King George V's second son Albert (the future King George VI) was created Duke of York. The present Queen's second son Andrew is also Duke of York.
Prince George of Wales (later King George V) was the second son of Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII). He was created Duke of York by his grandmother, Queen Victoria, although he wasn't the son of a monarch at the time.
King George III's second son, Prince Frederick, was titled Duke of York and Albany.
Queen Victoria's second son Alfred was not created Duke of York. Instead he was created Duke of Edinburgh and later inherited the title of Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha from his paternal uncle.
Unless his Uncle Prince Andrew dies prematurely, it's unlikely that Prince Harry will be granted this title. As Prince Andrew only has daughters and no sons, the title will revert back to the Crown upon his death.

"Pointless waste of taxpayers money", I think ! Although, when it was Andrew, he used to be ever so serious & might have made a better king than Chucky (not hard).
I think it's often Duke of York - although that was a wedding present to Andrew. Problem is - having already had a second son - Andrew - he's already got all those titles, so Harry will only get something else.

usually the reigning monarch will give him some other title besides prince--example Andrew is Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Edward is Prince Edward, Count of Essex

South Wales grew to become into component of england and in 1535 all of Wales grew to become into included into England. It has basically been interior the final century that Wales has been given extra acceptance as separate constituent u . s . of the united kingdom alongside with the different quarters of the united kingdom.

Duke of York. The people of York don't get a vote on this.

Prince, just like his royal brother. The Spare Heir doesn't have any traditional titles.

Prince is it toots! Of course there are other properties they own and such so there are other titles involved, but I think Prince is all you are talking about.
