I had added the category 'Peerages in the Jacobite Peerage'. User:Peterkingiron reverted this on the basis that it was 'not a Jacobite peerage, apart from being a subsidiary title of the Old and Young Pretenders'. For completeness, the Old Pretender was created Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester while his father was de facto king, and appears at Prince_of_Wales#Prince_of_Wales_as_title_of_English_or_British_heir_apparent. I suggest that: - (1) the creation of the Young Pretender is precisely the reason why it was a Jacobite Peerage (2) Wikipedia should follow Ruvigny's Jacobite Peerage, which shows the Earldom of Chester at page 31.

Under the heading "County Palatine," the following statement is made: "Prince Charles was created Earl of Chester on 26 July 1968, when he was also made Prince of Wales."
Many other sources I have seen, including Wikipedia's own article on the title "Prince of Wales," indicate that the date that Prince Charles became Prince of Wales (and therefore also Earl of Chester) was precisely 10 years earlier: July 26, 1958. Therefore I suggest that a correction may be warranted.

Is this just an honorary title, or does it actually come with land or something? -- Beland ( talk) 19:05, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
I removed the following text, "; see the ''Prince Henry's Charter Case'' (1611) <ref>Law Reports: 1 Bulst 133; 80 ER 827</ref>)", because a Google search found only this selfsame Wikipedia article. The reference "Law Reports: 1 Bulst 133; 80 ER 827" is thus meaningless. It leads nowhere that an ordinary reader of this article can find. If you know how to make this reference go to the actual "Law Reports" text, please restore this reference. Nick Beeson ( talk) 16:07, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
I understand that Prince William is now the Prince of Wales since 9 September 2022, after King Charles III announced his creation as such in his first speech as king. While Charles III didn't explicitly mention the title of Earl of Chester in his speech, can we safely assume that Prince William is also now Earl of Chester as well as Prince of Wales (since Wikipedia article on the title Earl of Chester mentions that since the late 14th century the earldom has been granted along with the title of Prince of Wales as a subsidiary title), or is the earldom of Chester now vacant? Just wondering what people's thoughts are. Thanks. Wikiman86 ( talk) 14:03, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
