They are royal by blood but live like private citizens — what's the story behind Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall's lack of titles? Read on to discover the full story!

How it happened

When Princess Anne married Captain Mark Phillips, he declined a title offered by the Queen, and later the monarch offered titles to Anne's children — an offer Anne refused. Historically, grandchildren received princely titles through sons rather than daughters, which also shaped the decision.

Where they stand

Despite no styles, both remain in the line of succession: Peter is 19th and Zara 22nd, positioned after Peter's daughters, Savannah and Isla.
