Let’s start with the biggest and most significant upgrade, King Charles of course. Who was the Prince of Wales – who waited the longest for the crown – became the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In addition, he will also rule over the other 14 kingdoms in the Commonwealth of Nations. During the (many) years that he patiently waited for the crown, Charles made it clear at every opportunity that upon his coronation he would make sure to respect his grandfather, the king George VIand after he becomes king he will be called the king George VII. As we know – this did not happen. A few hours after his mother’s death, an official announcement came from the House of Clarence that from now on the prince would become King Charles III.

withering Started her official career in the royal family as the Duchess of Cornwall. For many years the palace insisted that after the coronation of Charles Camilla would not be entitled to use the title “Queen Consort” but would have to settle for the title “Princess Consort”. All of this changed last February, during the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations, which came out in an unequivocal statement: “When my son Charles becomes king, one day, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support you gave me and my wish is that when he arrives This time – Camilla will be known as Queen Raya.” In doing so, the Queen gave the official seal to her daughter-in-law.
“This is a very significant moment for the Duchess of Cornwall,” explained royal biographer Penny Jr., adding: “It was brilliant because if it is the Queen’s will I don’t think people will doubt it. The Duchess of Cornwall certainly deserves the title, she will not overshadow Charles When he becomes king, she will be the power behind the throne and give him all the confidence and courage he will need.”

“Today I am proud to make him Prince of Wales, the country whose title I have been privileged to bear for most of my life. With Catherine by his side, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will continue to inspire, lead our national conversations and help provide vital aid.”
The title “Prince of Wales” is regularly transferred to the next heir to the throne of the kingdom (male of course). The title can only be transferred by the king and that is why Charles became the 21st Prince of Wales at the age of nine and not on his birthday. Let’s recall that besides being a prince, William also received the title of Duke of Cambridge in 2011, after marrying Middleton. In addition, William inherited the Scottish titles – Duke of Rotissay, Earl of Carrick and Baron of Renfrew.

As mentioned, she is now the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. In addition, Middleton will hold the title of Countess of Chester – if her husband also becomes an earl. Middleton is also now the Duchess of Rotissay in Scotland, another title she inherited from Camila.
Fan Fact: The reason why Camilla was not given the title of Princess of Wales was so as not to harm the Princess’s memory Dianawho received the title upon her marriage to Charles.

Until the death of Queen Elizabeth, the lives of the princes george, Charlotte andLouie were quite simple – at least in terms of titles. The three received the title of prince and princess on the day they were born, but now many titles will be added to their title.
George, Charlotte and Louis are now the Princes of Wales, Dukes of Cambridge and Cornwall. In the distant future, after their father Prince William is crowned king, the title of Prince of Wales will be passed to his eldest son – Prince George – while his sister, Princess Charlotte, will become the Princess Royal.

the prince’s son Harry andMeghan Markle He did not receive a royal title on his birthday because his parents did not want it. According to reports in the United Kingdom, one of the reasons why the couple rejected Queen Elizabeth’s gesture of giving their son the title “The Earl of Dumbarton” is because the word Dumbarton contains the word Dumb (stupid), and the two do not want their son to fall victim to bullying because of his name. “The couple is not interested in using the Scottish aristocratic title ‘The Earl of Dumbarton’ for their son, because the word ‘Dumberton’ begins with the word ‘stupid’ and they are worried about how it might look,” a source close to the couple told the “Telegraph” website.
Now, with the death of Queen Elizabeth and the ascension of Charles to the throne, Archie is automatically given the title of Prince – this is due to the laws established by King George V in 1917. Technically, Archie is the first Prince of Sussex.
Recall that during the interview of Meghan and Harry LOprah Winfrey Markle complained that Buckingham Palace was deprived of a royal title building and thus prevented from close security 24 hours a day. When asked if it is important to her that her son be called a prince, she said that the title is not important, but it is related to the fact that now her son is not safe.
We will return to Charles and recall that in June 2021 reports began to emerge overseas that he plans to deny his grandson the title of prince. “Harry and Meghan have been told their son will never be a prince, even after Charles becomes king,” the Mail on Sunday reported. “Charles is determined to limit the number of royals who will be at the front with the understanding that the public is not interested in paying for an ever-expanding monarchy,” the source clarified. Now it seems that it is not so simple: in order to deny Archie the title of prince he will have to issue an official letter denying him the honor. Until that happens, Archie will remain a prince – whether his parents and grandfather want it to or not.
Just like her older brother Archie, Lilith Diana Inherited the title of princess automatically after Charles’s appointment as king. If the title remains with her, she will be called Her Royal Highness Princess Lilith of Sussex. Even in this case, if Charles insists on denying her the title, he will have to do so with an official appeal.

Until the death of his beloved mother, Prince Edward was the Earl of Wessex – a title he received when he married his wife, final. Now the rumors are that he is expected to receive the title of Duke of Edinburgh – a title that belonged to his late father, Prince Philip. Back in 1999, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Edward would succeed his father in due course.
After Philip’s death in April 2021, the title of Duke of Edinburgh automatically passed to Charles, his eldest son. After Philip’s death it was reported that Charles would decide what to do with the title – whether to keep it for himself or pass it on to his younger brother. At first there were rumors that the prince was planning to break his commitment from 1999. “The prince is the Duke of Edinburgh and it depends on him what happens to the title,” a knowledgeable source told the “Sunday Times”. “Edinburgh will not go to Wessex as far as the prince is concerned.” The initial decision to award Edward the title was made in recognition of his work and commitment.
