Major change for Kate Middleton when Prince Charles becomes King
As members move up the ranks within the royal family, titles change. And for Kate Middleton – this could not be truer.
Prince Charles’ destiny is to be the King of England one day, and then eventually Prince William.
However, it's not just the title of the royal princes that will change, but also their children and their wives too.
Kate Middleton became the Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn and Lady Carrickfergus when she married Prince William, thanks to Queen Elizabeth, who gifted the titles.
When Charles becomes the King of England, though, Prince William will move up the ranks to become Prince of Wales, along with Kate who will technically become the Princess of Wales.
It is a title many still use to refer to the late Princess Diana, who held the name before her tragic death in 1997.
Camilla Bowles, the Duchess of Cornwall, was meant to also receive the title when she married Prince Charles. However, she chose not to – in an attempt to show Diana respect in her death.
While the day William becomes King seems much too far away to think about, it doesn’t hurt to mention that there are many titles Duchess Kate could choose.
While she is likely to become Queen Catherine, it is also just as possible her official title could be Queen Consort – which means the wife of a reigning monarch that married into the royal family and does not possess royal blood.
