The title of Prince of Orange was held by the Dutch Stadtholder William III when he became King of England, Scotland, and Ireland. It became a title of the King of England, Scotland, Ireland, and the Netherlands until 1789, when it was separated from the Crown, becoming a title for the 2nd son of the monarch, or the younger brother of the monarch, in the event that the reigning monarch has no second son at the time the title becomes vacant again.
After the Third Global War, the British monarchs ceded the title to the rulers of the Principality of the Netherlands within Rhineland
