On September 9, King Charles III, who ascended the British throne after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, transferred the title of Prince of Wales to the new heir to the monarchy, Prince William. Of course, as William’s wife, Kate was named the new Princess of Wales, a title previously held by Will’s late mom, Princess Diana before her death in 1997. So what does Kate think of the title change? A royal source said the 40-year-old “appreciates the history associated with this role but will understandably want to look to the future as she forges her own path”. In addition, William and Kate – who have children together Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4 – will take up His Majesty and Queen Consort Camilla’s previous roles as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall , and will retain their Duke and Duchess of Cambridge titles.
