') William certainly has the option of choosing a new regnal name when he becomes King (perhaps one of his middle names: Arthur, Philip, or Louis, or George, like his great-grandfather), but if he keeps William, he would be known as King William V.
Kate will instead be a queen consort, the wife of a reigning king (William, of course). In the role, she will support her husband in his duties, attend engagements, and help with charitable organizations that resonate with her.
"What do you want to be called?" William laughed it off and declined to comment. Like his father, if William chooses to use his first name he would be known as King William V. As previously stated by a hilarious young student, William the Conqueror was the first King William.
Equally now, if Prince William dies before King Charles, William's son Prince George of Cambridge, will be next in line to the throne, not Prince Charles' second son Prince Harry.
Yes, Prince Harry could one day be King...but there'd need to be a lot of unfortunate and premature deaths in order for that to happen. And even if it did happen, there's no certainty that the present Duke of Sussex would actually want to take on the role (he could very well choose to abdicate).
Prince William defied royal protocol at the King's Coronation when he chose not to bow to Queen Camilla at the Coronation Concert. A body language expert claims that the Prince of Wales might have found it strange to perform such a gesture to his stepmother.
What Kate called the Queen. While the rest of the world was 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.
To become a Princess, one has to be born into the Royal Family such as Prince William and Kate's daughter, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. Kate became 'Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge' when she married the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II.
So why did Camilla initially want to be Princess cCnsort and not Queen Consort? Apparently, this decision was made partly out of respect to Princess Diana—which is also why Camilla doesn't use the title Princess of Wales and instead goes by Duchess of Cornwall.
It's actually a logical safety measure to prevent her name from getting forged. It's an antifraud policy, according to the U.K. newspaper Express—and all the royals have to follow it. (When people ask Prince Charles for his signature, he allegedly says, “Sorry, they don't allow me to do that." So polite!)
To become a bonafide “princess,” royal protocol dictates that one must either be born the daughter of the sovereign or a prince—or become a prince's wife, and therefore take his title upon...
According to protocol, Meghan is supposed to curtsy to those who outrank her.
Prince Harry's memoir revealed that he and his brother Prince William refer to one another as 'Willy' and 'Harold'. The monikers are present in at least two parts of the book, according to The Telegraph, with the first during a physical row between the pair in 2019.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are now the new Prince and Princess of Wales following Queen Elizabeth's death on Thursday at age 96. The couple, who were given the title of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their wedding day in2011, became the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Cornwall on Thursday.
At public engagements, it's not uncommon see royals greet each other with a bow or a curtsy. These greetings, however, often depend on a royal's rank. All royals are expected to bow or curtsy to the sovereign and his wife, King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Now that Camilla is Queen Consort and known as Her Majesty, William, Kate, Harry and Meghan are all expected to bow or curtsy to her - and... Royal Family but still needs to abide by strict protocol when it... Parker Bowles — will have to bow to her now that she is Queen...
Camilla Is Related to Both Diana and King Charles
Strangely, they are also both related to the late Princess Diana through shared ancestry dating back to King Charles II. Also note that Camilla's great-grandmother was a mistress to King Edward VII, the great-great-grandfather of King Charles.
His wife, Camilla, has commented on how great he is as "Grandpa Wales," which Daily Mail reported is what his grandkids called him before he became King. "He will get down on his knees and crawl about with them for hours, you know making funny noises and laughing," Camilla told BBC.
Prince William and Kate Middleton seem to have a relationship like any other, and part of that is giving each other nicknames that only they can call each other. While Prince William calls Kate 'Duchess of Dolittle', she calls him 'Big Willy' and 'Baldy'.
William's full name ended up being William Arthur Philip Louis, with Philip being an homage to Prince Philip and Louis being a reference to Lord Louis Mountbatten, one of Charles's mentors. Lacey's book also notes that when Harry was born, Charles wanted to name him Albert as a nod to King George VI's real name.
But the fact of the matter is Sophie has never had to curtsy to Meghan, nor had Edward ever bowed to Harry. Members of the royal family do not bow or curtsy to each other – it is an act reserved only for the King and Queen. Back in December, the Princess of Wales was seen curtseying for the first time to Queen Camilla.
Feud between Kate and Camilla started in 2011. Kate Middleton's decision not to curtsy to Queen Camilla was a clear indication of her disapproval of King Charles' wife and her mishandling of his coronation, according to sources.
A friend of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh told the Mail on Sunday: “Sophie is relieved. She no longer has to curtsy to someone in the family who has not only left Royal duties but has spent the past three years criticising the institution that Sophie works so hard to support.”
The former Duchess of Cambridge was expected to curtsy to Anne, Beatrice, and Eugenie, but not if she was with Prince William. But, even when Kate was with William, she still had to curtsy to Anne. The Princess Royal's rank did not change.
Surprisingly, Princess Anne forms a genuine bond with Meghan Markle, defying expectations and showing a fondness for the Duchess of Sussex.
