Some are automatically inherited; the children of a king or queen are always princes or princesses.
Others are known as peerages, which are given by the monarch and which are ranked in hierarchy.

Louis may take the Duke of York title.
Princess Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth, is the current Princess Royal.

Royals also have the option of turning down a title from the monarch.
