Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, September 8, her eldest son Charles has been proclaimed King Charles III and in his first official speech as our new monarch, he announced that he was giving his hair apparent, Prince William, the title of the Prince of Wales. His wife Kate, also subsequently became the Princess of Wales.
King Charles said: "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."
As well as their new titles of Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton will also have a new motto to live by.
