Prince William and Kate Middleton are already embracing their new titles.
The royal couple took over the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall titles after William’s father — now King Charles III — ascended the throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday.
“The official account of The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge and the Royal Foundation, based at Kensington Palace,” their official Twitter and Instagram bios read.
The parents of three, both 40, will also become the Prince and Princess of Wales, a title Charles and Williams’ late mother Diana held.
The royal family’s title shuffle comes after the longest-reigning British monarch died “peacefully” at Balmoral Castle at the age of 96 after she was put under “medical supervision.”
Her death marked the beginning of a new era for the House of Windsor, as Charles takes on the throne to become the king of the UK and Commonwealth. Per the Queen’s wishes, Camilla Parker Bowles, his wife, will become Queen Consort.
