OK. We’re talking about different helicopters in the same picture. The big one on the left is the Bell and the cabin is an EXACT copy of the Huey. I was never referring to the one on the right.

I guarantee you the rudder pedals on the left one say “Bell” in block letters.

As it's European market area it might be "Campana" (or "Augusta-Bell")

Bell 412, huey variant.

They sound different than a regular huey.

No, I don’t think so. The Prince of Wales is only the males heir to the throne. William and Harry are simply princes, just as Prince Andrew is a prince.

William and Harry do not hold the title of Prince of Wales.

However, they are both correctly referred to as Prince William of Wales, and Prince Harry of Wales.

A Prince or Princess who does not have their own title, takes the title of their father as part of their name as a a matter of courtesy.

Princess Beatrice and Eugenie are Princess Beatrice of York, and Princess Eugenie of York, as their father is Prince Andrew, Duke of York.

Prince Michael of Kent is the second son of Prince George, Duke of Kent. His elder brother is Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, because he inherited their father's title.

The only exceptions to this rule currently are the children of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. While his two children are legally a Prince and Princess, he and his wife have decided they should not use those titles and so they are both being styled as children of an Earl - Lady Louise Windsor, and James, Viscount Severn (as his father's heir, James uses his father's secondary title as his own courtesy title).

Titles and the succession are to different matters.

eg HRH Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester (grandson of King George V) and one of the three Royal Dukes is 19th in line of successsion.

Immediately behind 10 year old Master Arthur Chatto (great grandson of King George VI and legally a commoner)

(I said it was a little bit complicated)
