The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will become the Prince and Princess of Wales, King Charles has announced. The new Monarch confirmed their new titles during his first speech since the death of his mother on Thursday afternoon.
During his address, he said that Prince William will also take on responsibility for the Duchy of Cornwall, before adding: “As my Heir, William now assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me. He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades.
“Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty. With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given."
