How William and Kate's life has changed - new fortune, new role and awkward row

With Prince William and Kate Middleton's new role comes a lot of new responsibilities. After being named the Prince and Princess of Wales by King Charles following the death of the Queen, the couple are expected to take down a lot more responsibilities.

The future king, William is said to understand the pivotal role he holds in the royal family - especially at a time when his father is keen to slim it down to a few figures. On top of that, ongoing discussions about the role Prince Harry and the Duke of York now hold, as non-working royals, continues to take up consideration.

One source close to William said his grandmother had a huge influence on the future king: "The duke was incredibly close to his grandmother, he looked up to her like no one else.
