The children of a British "Dame" are not appointed any official, or Royal title by virtue of their parent's appointed title.

The British "Dame" is the female equivalent of address to Sir for a British Knighthood. In the UK honors system, this can be the title of a woman who has been made a Dame Commander or Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, Order of St Michael and St George, Royal Victorian Order, or Order of the British Empire.

Because there is no female equivalent of a Knight Bachelor, women deserving an honor of this rank are appointed Dames of an Order of chivalry instead.

Formerly, the wife of a knight was given the title of Dame before her name, but this usage was replaced by "Lady" during the 17th century.
