Title

Upon becoming a British citizen, Radziwill was unable to use his former title, without special license from the Queen. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,874456-2,00.html] He did not receive such a dispensation, so he was legally Mr. Radziwill, but was called Prince out of courtesy.
