Prince William and Kate Middleton will officially be known as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge following the death of Queen Elizabeth.
The royal couple has adopted King Charles’ moniker, which is part of a tradition that when the reigning monarch dies, those in succession to the throne move up in place and pass their existing titles down.
It is also likely that Prince William and the Duchess will also become the Prince and Princess of Wales, which is the title given to the next in line to the crown.

King Charles and his first wife, Princess Diana, were previously given this by the Queen.
As via Page Six, author of ‘Raising Royalty: 1000 Years of Royal Parenting’, Carolyn Harris, said: “The new King will have to invest [William] as Prince of Wales, so likely there’ll be an investiture at Caernarfon Castle, as there was for Prince Charles in 1969.”
