Both Kate Middleton and Prince William are anticipated to take up new tasks.
King Charles III (formerly known as Prince Charles), the father of Prince William, became the next heir apparent to the British monarchy after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8. Of course, that probably has some people wondering what will happen to Charles' title of Prince of Wales, which was bestowed upon him in 1958.
The title "is normally passed on when the existing Prince of Wales accedes to the throne," according to the Prince of Wales website, which is currently being rebuilt in the wake of the queen's passing. However, William, who is currently known by his title as the Duke of Cambridge, has not been made the new Prince of Wales because it is not a hereditary title. The first princess of Wales since William's late mother, Princess Diana, will be his wife, Kate, the current Duchess of Cambridge, if (or most likely when) he is made Prince of Wales. This implies that William and Kate, who are frequently referred to as the Cambridges, may eventually be referred to as the Waleses.
Due to his parents' titles as Prince and Princess of Wales, William was formerly known as Wales.
William and Kate have received a new set of titles as a result of Charles' ascension, even if this title transfer is still pending. In particular, William has subsequently inherited the dukedoms of Cornwall and Rothesay, which Charles received in 1952 when Queen Elizabeth II became monarch. Kate will henceforth also be referred to as the Duchess of Rothesay and the Duchess of Cornwall.
The recent change in status has already been acknowledged on William and Kate's official social media profiles, which state in their bios that they are "The official account of The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge and the Royal Foundation, based at Kensington Palace."
