The White Rod, White Wand, Rod of Inauguration, or Wand of Sovereignty, in the Irish language variously called the slat na ríghe and slat tighearnais, was the primary symbol of a Gaelic king or lord's legitimate authority and the principal prop used in his inauguration ceremony. The designation as Chief was also referred to as a King (Ri), Lord (Tiarna), or Captain of his Country, all of which were roughly equivalent before the collapse of the Gaelic order.

  • Usually, but not always, all legitimate children of the Sovereign are titled Prince and Princess. This is at the Sovereign's discretion.
  • All children of HRH Prince(ss) of Baile Uí Bhrolcháin are titled Prince(ss), unless the Sovereign changes this for cause.

  • All other Grandchildren are common and, if titled, they are as the Sovereign deems appropriate.
  • Siblings of the Sovereign are titled HRG Duke or Duchess, except the eldest sibling, who is titled HRH the Princess Royal for life.
