Princess Kate, popularly recognized as the Princess of Wales worldwide, possesses a myriad of titles that extend beyond this renowned designation.
Upon King Charles’ anticipated ascension to the throne in 2023, the Prince and Princess of Wales are set to inherit several lesser-known titles, many of which are territorial in nature.
These titles are selectively utilized by the royal couple depending on their geographical location, such as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and notably, the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay when they find themselves in Scotland, along with the Earl and Countess of Chester.
During a significant event last year, Prince William and Princess Kate joined King Charles and Queen Camilla in Scotland to mark the King’s coronation.
While in Scotland, the royal couple conscientiously adopt their Scottish titles to fulfill their official responsibilities.
Of particular significance is the title of Duke of Rothesay, which holds precedence over other Scottish styles like Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland.
Hence, Kate and William predominantly employ the Duke of Rothesay title instead of the others due to its elevated status.
The prestigious title of Duke of Rothesay was bestowed upon the Prince on April 29, 2011, as a personal gift from his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, on the auspicious occasion of his wedding to Kate.
Given that William currently holds this esteemed title, the next in line is his eldest son, Prince George, followed by Prince Louis.
