King Charles III isn’t the only royal to receive a title change following the Queen’s death.
The order of heirs has changed, affecting several titles, including that of his son Prince William and daughter-in-law Kate Middleton.
Charles announced today in his first speech as king that William and Kate are now the Prince and Princess of Wales.
“He succeeded me as Duke of Cornwall and took on the duties of the Duchy of Cornwall that I’ve had for over 5 years.
“Today I am proud to have created Tywysog Cymru, Prince of Wales for him, and for most of my life and duty I have been privileged to hold this nation’s title,” he continued.
“I know that, by Catherine’s side, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will continue to inspire and lead our national conversation, helping to bring marginalized groups to the heart of where vital help can be provided.”
It’s certainly an exciting time for William and Kate, as the Princess of Wales title has always been closely associated with his mother Diana.
According to a royal source, the pair are “focused on deepening the trust and respect of the Welsh people over time”.
“The Prince and Princess of Wales will approach their roles with the humility and humility they used to approach their jobs.
“The new Princess of Wales appreciates the history associated with the role, but understandably wants to look to the future as she creates her own path.”
William and Kate became the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge when they married in 2011, and they are now also known as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall after the Queen’s death.
Their new official titles are the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Shortly after the Queen’s death on September 8, they changed their official Twitter account to reflect the change in title, and updated again today to reflect their new status as Prince and Princess of Wales.
