Catherine, Princess of Wales: Will She Become Queen?

Since her marriage to the British royal family in 2011, Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been known by various titles.

Formerly Catherine Elizabeth Middleton, she was bestowed with the title Duchess of Cambridge by the late Queen Elizabeth II on her wedding day.

Less commonly used, her other titles include Countess of Strathern and Baroness Carrickfergus.

Following the passing of her grandmother-in-law last year, her title changed once again to Princess of Wales.

Now, as the coronation of her father-in-law, King Charles III, approaches, a new era for the United Kingdom is set to begin.

This raises the question: if Prince William were to ascend the throne one day, would Catherine's title change to Queen?

Let's delve into the details.

In February 2022, during the celebrations for her 70th anniversary on the throne, Queen Elizabeth provided guidance on how to address a person whose spouse becomes a monarch.

In a statement, she expressed her hope that when her son Charles becomes king, his wife Camilla will be known as Queen Consort, acknowledging her loyal service.

Assuming Charles follows this tradition and makes a similar announcement for his own son and daughter-in-law, Catherine would also assume the title of Queen Consort of the United Kingdom.

According to the official website of the British royal family, a consort's role is to offer companionship and moral and practical support to the monarch.

Unlike a king or queen, a consort does not hold a formal position within the government structure.

NBC royal commentator Daseem Kandrew further explained the distinction in an email, stating that a queen consort is a woman who marries a man who becomes king, while a queen is a woman who is born to be queen and is the head of state, not merely the wife of a monarch.
