It has been worn for most royal christenings since then, and the original gown has now been preserved.[3]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Education[edit]As of 2020[update], James attended Eagle House School, a coeducational preparatory school near Sandhurst in Berkshire.[5]Official appearances[edit]In April 2015, James and his sister, Lady Louise, participated in their first overseas engagement by accompanying their parents on a trip to South Africa.[6] In September 2020, James participated in the Great British Beach Clean with his family at Southsea Beach in Hampshire, in support of the Marine Conservation Society.[7][8]In March 2022, James attended the memorial service for Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.[9] In June 2022 he attended the Platinum Jubilee National Service of Thanksgiving[10][11] and the Platinum Party at the Palace.[12]On 17 September 2022, during the period of official mourning for Queen Elizabeth\u00a0II, James joined his sister and six cousins to mount a 15-minute vigil around the coffin of the late Queen, as it lay in state at Westminster Hall.[13] On 19 September, he joined other family members at the state funeral.[14]Titles, styles, and honours[edit]Titles and styles[edit]From his birth until March 2023, James was styled as Viscount Severn, a courtesy title that was his father’s subsidiary title. The title Viscount Severn is derived from the Welsh roots of Sophie’s family.[15]Letters patent issued in 1917 assign a princely status and the style of Royal Highness to all children of a monarch’s sons.[16] When his parents married, Buckingham Palace announced that their children would be styled as the children of an earl, rather than as prince or princess.[17] In 2020, his mother stated that James and his sister Louise retained their royal titles and styles and could make a choice on whether to use them from the age of 18.[18]On the creation of his father as Duke of Edinburgh on 10 March 2023, James became styled with the courtesy title of Earl of Wessex, that title now being the most senior subsidiary title of his father.[19][20] As the Dukedom of Edinburgh is a life peerage, James will not inherit it upon his father’s death. He is, however, heir apparent to his father’s hereditary peerages: Earl of Wessex, Earl of Forfar, and Viscount Severn.[21]Honours[edit]In June 2008, to recognise a visit by his father to the Canadian province of Manitoba, the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba named a lake in the north of the province after James.[23]References[edit]^ “Countess gives birth to baby boy”.
