My education on royal titles is growing everyday. Titles are like physical property, they have a deed like grant, and usually have to be registered. It seems the process of acquiring and registering a title is very similar to buying a car. In may case it was inherited so I did not get to pick it out or alter it. I am not complaining I just found that there is a whole industry , some say legit and some say scams, but an industry nonetheless devoted to the selling of titles.
According to various sources you can buy a title for as low as $200 to over a million dollars. Out of curiosity I looked at the titles that were offered for about $200. These titles could be Lord, Lady, Countess, Duchess, and even Baroness?! But a closer looks shows that these titles are nothing but a legal name change which allows the buyer of the title to change their name to Lord or Lady etc. ......... The benefits are that they get a new passport, debit cards, and any other piece of ID with their new identity and title. Also stylish flashy business cards and even a coat of arms and parchment with title written on it.
After seeing all these perks I rushed to examine mine to see if I could get all those bells and whistles. To my surprise I found that it is frowned upon to put ones title on passports and the like. So this leaves me again to wonder, 'What the hell do you do with one?" I am still curious about what to do with it and have made appointment with the manager of my bank to see if they put a royal title on the account info or have ever been asked that question. I will blog about my experience and hopefully will have some funny story out of it where I do not end up getting escorted out my security.
