A look at how the line of succession is changing following the Queen’s death and who in the family have received new royal titles.
As Prince Charles ascends the throne and becomes the king of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, other royal family members have received new titles as well.
Some royal watchers speculated that Charles would choose to drop his first name as there are negative connotations surrounding it. King Charles I was a, and his reign was fraught with controversy and several civil wars. His reign ended when he was beheaded in 1649. “The title could be recreated for Prince Edward, who is currently giving out the Duke of Edinburgh Awards and took on a lot of Prince Philip’s charities,” Carolyn Harris, author oftold Page Six. “But that will be up to Charles to decide whether he wants to recreate the title for his youngest brother.”
“The new King will have to invest him as Prince of Wales, so likely there’ll be an investiture at Caernarfon Castle, as there was for Prince Charles in 1969,” Harris said., Camilla Parker Bowles has a new title.
