Born a great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, Mary was styled Her Highness Princess Mary of York from birth (this was later changed to "Her Royal Highness" by Queen Victoria). When her great-grandmother Queen Victoria died, for a short time she was known as HRH Princess Mary of Cornwall and York (as her father was now the heir apparent and thus Duke of Cornwall as well as Duke of York) and then HRH Princess Mary of Wales when her father was created Prince of Wales. Finally, upon her father's accession as King she was styled and titled HRH The Princess Mary. When the title Princess Royal was conferred upon her in 1932, she became known as HRH The Princess Royal (occasionally HRH The Princess Mary, Princess Royal). After her marriage her Harewood titles were affixed after her royal titles. Throughout her life and the various name changes, her signature was simply "Mary".
