In general, under UK law the Heir Apparent occupies the same legal status as a private citizen. The European Court of Justice has held that EU law must be interpreted in the light of the relevant rules of international law. As such, when abroad, the Heir Apparent may enjoy a specific status accorded to Heads of State and to the members of their family and household.
