[QUOTE="MidnightBlue, post: 15784277, member: 111308"] I've read that before, but my understanding is that the granddaughter of a peer isn't technically entitled to any courtesy at all. At the time of her birth, Diana's father would have been using the title [i]Viscount Althorp [/i]purely as a courtesy. While his father lived, he wasn't technically a peer at all, and I didn't think his children were entitled to any courtesy title. That is, my understanding was that she was just plain Diana Frances Spencer at birth. However, it may be that the common practice is to give the honorific due a Viscount's daughter even to a "courtesy" Viscount; certainly, more people than not seem to think so. Either way, she wasn't the Lady Diana Frances Spencer at birth, but she was the Lady Diana Frances Spencer until her marriage, which is what I said. ;) [/QUOTE]
