All eyes will be on Prince William “William becomes Duke of Cornwall when Charles becomes king and will be invested [formally named] as Prince of Wales,” Harris says.
As a future King, Prince William could opt to follow in his father and grandmother's footsteps and use his first name – which would make him King William V. As the school student told us, the very first King William was William the Conqueror in 1066. He was followed by his third son, King William II.
Duchess of Cornwall: William is also the Duke of Cornwall now that Charles is the King, as it's also traditionally granted to the heir apparent. This makes Kate the new Duchess of Cornwall, a title that was previously held by Charles's wife Camilla.
Prince William and his wife will now be known officially as the Prince and Princess of Wales. They remain the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge but the new title takes precedence.
The cypher of His Majesty King Charles III has been revealed. The cypher is the Sovereign's monogram, consisting of the initials of the monarch's name, Charles, and title, Rex – Latin for King, alongside a representation of the Crown.
William becomes Duke of Cornwall with Charles becoming King, and will be formally named as Prince of Wales.
Charles will not be changing his name, as was previously speculated. He will be known as King Charles III. Charles was nine when he was given the title the Prince of Wales.
Three months after being given the title of Princess of Wales by King Charles III, the 40-year-old has been made an honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards, a title previously given to her husband Prince William more than 10 years ago, per the Evening Standard, citing the Buckingham Palace.
The Title Kate Will Get When *William* Is King
In other words, Kate will be called “queen,” but the addition of “consort” makes it clear she has no constitutional power and is a queen in title only.
What Kate called the Queen. While the rest of the world is required to address Queen Elizabeth as Ma'am or your majesty, those closest to her are allowed to refer to her as Mama, according to Ingrid Seward, the editor of Majesty magazine. Sign up to British Heritage Travel's daily newsletter here!
The duke recalls meeting Camilla, whom he and his brother called “the other woman,” for the first time, and notes that it was far from a pleasant experience for him. He described their introduction as an “injection,” for which he had to brace himself.
That would mean that when Charles becomes King, Archie will become His Royal Highness (HRH) Prince Archie, the same title that his cousins George, Charlotte, and Louis currently use.
"Without William, Kate would curtsy to Camilla; with him, she would not," the source continued. "That's unless Prince Charles is present, in which case she would." The order of curtsying, however, can change. This could happen when people marry into the family.
Sweet. Despite the fact Queen Elizabeth II was officially called 'Ma'am' or 'Your Majesty' to the majority of people, Prince William and Prince Harry were let off the hook when it came to the Queen, and were always encouraged to call her 'Granny'.
What will King Charles' reign be called? The reigns of Charles I from 1625 to 1649, and Charles II, from 1660 to 1685, were named the Carolean eras. The name originates from the Latin name for Charles, Carolus. Therefore King Charles III's reign will now be known as the Carolean era.
Prince Charles is presently heir (next in line) to the British throne. He will not become king until his mother, Queen Elizabeth, abdicates (gives up the throne), retires or dies. When either of these happen, Prince Charles may abdicate and pass the throne to his eldest son Prince William.
The next royal family member who could feasibly become Queen of England is Princess Charlotte. This is because in order for a monarch to reign as King or Queen they have to be born into the family. This is why Camilla Parker Bowles and Kate Middleton will never be Queen Regnant.
“There's literally a structure by which if you want to release photos of your child, as a member of the family, you first have to give them to the Royal Rota,” she explained.
Prince Harry and Meghan's children Archie and Lilibet now a prince and princess, as a number of royal titles change. London — Archie and Lilibet, the children of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have become a prince and princess after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
Within a cover package on Charles and Diana's engagement published the following month, one article delved into her illustrious family tree even further: She has more English royal blood in her veins than does Prince Charles, her 16th cousin once removed.
Prince George can become King at any age. However, if he has to be anointed before he is 18 years-old a regency is automatically established. According to the standing Regency Acts, if the Monarch is under the age of 18 royal roles and functions are taken on by an appointed regent.
According to the line of succession, Prince Charles is the next in line to the throne when his mother, Queen Elizabeth, passes. This would make him king — and that would have made Diana queen consort.
Even if the Queen had desired to skip Charles in favor of William, she did not have the power to choose her successor on a whim. The 1701 Act of Settlement is the act of Parliament that determines the succession to the throne and requires that a monarch's heir must be his or her direct successor (and a Protestant).
Britain's new monarch, King Charles III, just like his late mother Queen Elizabeth II, is keeping his given name despite the historical baggage associated with it. Charles Philip Arthur George, who acceded to the throne Thursday after the death of his mother, could have chosen another name to be used during his reign.
The name suits them - but it won't be their name forever. When Prince Charles ascends to the throne of England, and becomes King, Kate and William will have a name change. Prince William will inherit his father's titles - and will be known as the Duke of Cornwall.
