Kate, formerly Duchess of Cambridge, has been made Princess of Wales 25 years after Diana's death. The 40-year-old now holds the title William's mother had for more than 15 years.
According to reports, though, the mum-of-three has vowed to carve out her own role as the Princess of Wales. Kate is said to “appreciate the history”, but will “want to look to the future as she creates her own path”, a source said.
She has become the first person since Diana to use the well-known title, one that was also Camilla’s but which she never used due to the controversies of her affair with Charles. Diana became Princess of Wales on July 29, 1981, when she married then Prince Charles.
