See definition of prince in Wikepedia. The Borghese are a highly noble family not royalty. I understand Lorenzo Borghese has explained this 2-3 times in interview. The Borghese are in fact Papal nobility. Don't confuse the name with the Borgias.
Are American PR people trained in the world of titles?

I'd have to agree with the first two comments. Spiritually, titles mean nothing to me. The idea of "royalty" and "peasants" is absurd and WAY outdated. That's not to say that there are "peasants", mind you, but this idea of royalty seems like rubbish to me. Every human is royalty. Some countries and cultures are different, I understand. But in one way we're all created equally. I bow to no one, would not kiss anyone's hand, or whatever other rubbish comes with honoring nobility and royalty. The king puts his pants on one leg at a time like I do (or has servants do it for him, but fact is it still goes on one leg at a time), so to that end he's just a man like me. Unless he has special powers, he doesn't get any praise from me. Just a spoiled, lucky a$$ chap who happened to be born into the "right" family. Whatever.

Not all American's are ignorant about it. Look at me. I am first generation German-Aermican. But I lived with the Royalty in Europe all my life. We know of almost every Royal there is. And it's fun keeping up with them. Its a faszinating subject. So do not over generalize your statement. Cause not all are ignorant. We know of the history of mid-eval Royal history.

I think you've miss judged this situation. I'm sure they understand the difference, they just ignore it to make the "Prince" more interesting because their American viewers, readers LOVE royalty! For example, as far as I know the titles given to people who aren't of English descent should not be used particularly outside of the UK. Yet, you constantly see Irishman Bono, American Sidney Poitier, Irishman Bob Geldof, etc referred to as Sir when appearing in this country. Another one, Sarah Ferguson, the "Duchess of York", shouldn't be called that given her divorce, but ALWAYS is in the US!

Seems the ignorant ones are those who hand out titles to land owners and the rich and allow national decisions to be made by those who's qualifications are based on their last name. We don't have to be trained in the world of titles nor do we care to be trained in the world of titles, so please don't call us ignorant. And I am sorry about my snide little answer, but being called ignorant really. pisses. me. off. And I was having such a great day...

Titles are an archaic holdover from the Dark Ages. It's time to get rid of them.

What do you mean by "PR" people - public relations, or Puerto Rican? Actually, as the first replier said, none of us could care any less.
