After their marriage, the Earl and Countess of Wessex announced that (with Queen Elizabeth II's permission) any future children of theirs will be "Prince" or "Princess" and "His/Her Royal Highness", but will be styled "Lord" or "Lady," as would children of a peer. The reasoning behind this decision was to give a low profile to their children and shield them from media interest.
