I just did what seems to work/look best in charts. For example, a person in
my database is Count Philipp I of Nassau-Saarbrücken-Weilburg. I put “Count”
in the title prefix, “Philipp I” as the given name and left the surname
field empty. Finally, I put “of Nassau-Saarbrücken-Weilburg” in the title
suffix.

There's a whole section discussing entering royal titles etc in Mary
Slawson's book: Getting it Right: the definitive guide to recording
family history accurately which can be found at

If the URL doesn't work, just search for it in FamilySearch books. The
illustrations are all from Legacy.

I am not certain how best to record royal names. For instance, if I am
adding King Edward II of England, do I place "King" in the Prefix space,
"Edward II" in given name, and "of England" in the surname space? I
assume consistency is probably the most important thing, showing all
royalty in the same format but do want to know if there is a right way or
a wrong way to record this information.
Thank you!
