Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Children Reportedly Set To Receive New Royal Titles

What’s the point of being a member of the royal family if you don’t have a fancy title to lord over the peasants? The Wales kids are set to receive a number of designations. But according to an insider, Prince William and Kate Middleton may have a tough choice when it comes to one particular title.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are set for title changes

Once Prince William becomes king, the three Wales children will receive new titles. While some of these are passed automatically, others are only given once they reach adulthood or get married. A source told Radar Online about the potential changes.

Prince George, who is second in line for the throne, will automatically become the Duke of Cornwall when William becomes king. His dad currently holds the title – and the hefty Duchy of Cornwall that comes with it (kerching !). He’ll also become the Duke of Rothesay and the Prince of Wales.

Princess Charlotte, meanwhile, could become Princess Royal. It’s a lifelong title that only seven women have ever been bestowed. But, there’s a pretty big caveat – there can only be one. And the title is currently held by Princess Anne, who is King Charles’ sister. Still, it’s probably worth the wait. The source explained: “It represents the most senior and prestigious designation available to a woman within the royal family.”

Prince Louis won’t be granted any titles automatically once William becomes king. Sucks to be him. But, he is entitled to the Dukedom of York, which is traditionally given to the monarch’s second son. But that title doesn’t exactly have the greatest connotations now, thanks to a certain someone.

The insider told RO: “The Dukedom of York has become a sensitive and debated issue. Any decision to revive or reassign it would ultimately hinge on William’s assessment of what feels suitable and responsible once Louis is older.”
