The heir to the throne is usually called Hereditary Prince of Monaco, however, in terms of the French court it may have been more likely that Louis was called by his preeminent title in the French nobility which was Duc d'Valentinois. It was not uncommon for Princes of Monaco to give that title to their heir just before their marriage to 'sweeten the deal' so to speak. So, if I had to choose, I would say Prince of Monaco for Honore II and Duc de Valintinois for Louis. Louis XIV was also the godfather of Louis I of Monaco so there might have been a tad more familiarity on his part because of that.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159967173198170183.post-80730240477862663462010-05-23T14:04:01.031-07:002010-05-23T14:04:01.031-07:00A question for you.

Honore is still prince. My editor has a question I'm not certain how to answer. Both Louis, the husband and crown prince, and Honore, the ruler, are called "prince".....yes? I'm pondering how to distinguish father and son without going into huge detail.....thanks, if you have time to answer.....Karleen KoenKarleen Koenhttp://www.karleenkoen.netnoreply@blogger.com
