What Will Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis’ Royal Titles Be When Dad William is King?

If the Royal Family continues with tradition, there are exciting titles in store for Prince William and Princess Kate's three children.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis may be bestowed with special royal titles in the future.

As Prince William and Kate Middleton, the current Prince and Princess of Wales, are set to become King and Queen consort one day, it is likely that their children will receive new royal titles, some corresponding to their father's ascension to the throne, and some not.

Prince George, currently second in line to the throne after his father, may receive the title of Duke when he marries, although which Dukedom he will be given remains uncertain.

Queen Elizabeth granted Duke titles to her grandsons Prince William and Prince Harry on their wedding days.

Prince William became the Duke of Cambridge, making Kate the Duchess of Cambridge, while Prince Harry was named the Duke of Sussex, making Meghan Markle the Duchess of Sussex.

When Prince William becomes King after the passing of King Charles, Prince George will become the new heir.

The titles of Duchess of Cornwall and Rothesay, currently held by William, will automatically pass to Prince George.

However, the title of Duke of Cambridge will revert to the crown and will be available for someone else.

Additionally, it appears that Prince George will also become the Prince of Wales when his father assumes the title.

However, the traditional title of heir is not automatic and must be bestowed upon by the monarch.

In the past, King Charles formally named William and Kate Prince and Princess of Wales shortly after ascending the throne.

Princess Charlotte, on the other hand, may one day become the Princess Royal, a title currently held by King Charles' sister, Princess Anne.

The title of Princess Royal is traditionally given to the eldest daughter of the king.

However, it is not guaranteed and must be granted rather than inherited.

Princess Anne received the title from her mother, Queen Elizabeth, in 1987 when she was 36 years old.

The title of Princess Royal can only be held by one woman at a time, which is why Queen Elizabeth never had the title as her aunt, Princess Mary, held it until her death in 1965.

As King Charles has no daughters, Princess Charlotte is the next potential royal to receive this title.

However, this is contingent on Prince William becoming king and Princess Anne no longer being alive.

Nevertheless, the 2013 Succession to the Crown Act may alter these circumstances.

The law stipulates that birth order determines who will succeed the throne, regardless of gender.

If it had not been in place, Princess Charlotte would have lost her place in line when Princess Kate gave birth to her younger brother, Prince Louis.

While the title of Princess Royal holds exclusivity, with only seven women having held the title since its introduction, it does not carry the same status as a Duke Royal.

Therefore, it is possible that Princess Charlotte may be granted a peerage and become a Duchess when she marries.

This would follow in the footsteps of a previous Princess Royal, Charlotte, who was the daughter of King George III and held the title from 1789 to 1828.

As for Prince Louis, he may one day receive a nickname that currently belongs to another family member.

Prince Andrew currently holds the title of Duke of York, traditionally given to the king's second eldest son.

Louis may potentially become the next Duke of York, but he cannot hold the title simultaneously with his great-uncle.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis were born with the titles of Royal Highness, which they will retain for life unless otherwise revoked.

If Prince George assumes the throne as anticipated, he will replace his Royal Highness with His Majesty.

In September, when their great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth passed away and their grandfather King Charles ascended the throne, the three children of Prince William and Princess Kate experienced a surname change.

Previously known as Prince George of Cambridge, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, and Prince Louis of Cambridge, their surnames were altered based on their parents' titles.

They became Prince George of Wales, Princess Charlotte of Wales, and Prince Louis of Wales.

In a less formal context, among their friends and teachers at school, they are now referred to as George Wells, Charlotte Wells, and Louis Wells instead of using the name Cambridge.
