The title 'Princess Royal' is customarily given by the Sovereign to his or her eldest daughter, and it is purely honorary.
Queen Victoria's eldest daughter Princess Victoria was baptised as Princess Royal, but after her death in 1901 the style was not used until 1905, when Edward VII created Princess Louise, his eldest daughter, Princess Royal.
It is held for life, and on the death of a Princess Royal the style is not inherited by any of her daughters.
