Prince William married Miss Catherine Middleton (a commoner) on 29 April 2011.

In British law, strictly speaking, a commoner is anyone who is neither the monarch (King/Queen) nor a peer (Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount or Baron/Lord.) Prince William was a commoner before he was made a Duke; Prince Harry still is a commoner.

Is Prince Harry regarded as a commoner?

Yes, he is. Under British law, a commoner is anybody who is neither the Sovereign (ie. the reigning queen or king) nor a peer. Prince Harry, is currently neither.When his brother Prince William was married, he (William) was given the title Duke of Cambridge (ie. a peerage) and as such ceased to be a commoner.Harry, however, remains a commoner.By the way, commoner is not to be confused with the pejorative British term 'common' which refers to a person who is brash, vulgar and unrefined.(on edit) The above answer is totally untrue!!! Prince Henry (Harry) is NOT a commoner. He is a Royal Prince. So was (and still is) Prince William. Where do people get these stupid answers from????(further edit for clarification)The Oxford English Dictionary defines commoner as, among other things, someone who is not part of the aristocracy or royalty. Prince Harry (Henry Charles Albert David, or Prince Henry of Wales) does not fit under this definition of commoner, and OED contains a highly reputable collective of researchers.Keep in mind, too, that royalty experts worldwide prefer to avoid the word commoner as it has dropped out of favor of official British law.

What happens if a royal or noble marries a commoner of another nationality?

It is dependent upon the country in which the marriage takes place. In most countries today, there are no laws against marriage between a royal and commoner. For example, if a prince married a commoner girl, she would still be a princess and their children princes and princesses. In most European countries, a princess does not pass her princely status on, no matter who she marries, but if she marries a commoner, he will usually be made a duke, count, etc. and their children will be lords or ladies and be in line for the throne. In royal countries which are less modern, men can still marry commoners but princesses must marry within the royal family or their children will have nothing. For example, Princess Sayako of Japan lost her title, allowance and all other royal vestiges because she married a commoner and the law says that will happen if she marries outside of the family, which princesses always do. Basically, as far as Europe is concerned, there is no issue
