Once Charles becomes king, everything changes for everyone.
Currently, Kate is Catherine, Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cambridge.
That title was given to her when she married Prince William (perShowbiz Cheat Sheet).
The couple were made Duke and Duchess of Cambridge instead.
Kate is also Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order.
But one thing many don’t realize is that Camilla is actually, officially, the Princess of Wales.
This, like the appointment to the Royal Victorian Order, is an honor bestowed by the queen herself.
Titles aren’t automatically handed down; many of them,Independentreports, must be appointed by the sovereign.
Queen Elizabeth was actually Princess of York before she ascended the throne.
The Prince of Wales title has always been given to the male heir apparent to the throne.
Both William and Kate have a strong connection to Wales.
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t other titles Kate will be given automatically once Charles becomes king.
