Why is Prince William not the prince of Wales? I thought heir to the throne was given that title.

They don't inherit this title, so it's given by the monarch and a investiture takes place. William will get it, but not quite yet, there will be a settling in period I imagine before discussions about this are had.

William & Catherine become the Duke & Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge
Prince Williams income now comes from The Duchy of Cornwall.

Im sure there are many others.

Won't they become the prince and princess of Wales too?

Poor QEII - she was HM for 70 years and people still refer to her as HRH!

Passtheduchyonthelefthandside · 08/09/2022 22:50

Ah, ok thank you.

Not automatically - it's not an inherited title. Charles would have to bestow it on William. Remember, Charles wasn't invested with it until he was an adult.

Someone must be busy getting a new design for stamps ready to print. And post boxes. Presumably new ones will say CR on them?

Only new ones that are manufactured during his reign. The old ones will stay, we have ones that have GR still on them, so I think the ER ones will be in place for a long time yet.

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 08/09/2022 22:51

Ds is utterly convinced that schools will all shut for 9 days after the funeral. I'm not convinced of this at all.

Bumpsadaisie · 08/09/2022 22:52

Yes all the words priests have to say in services and prayers have changed.

Hakunamatata91 · 08/09/2022 22:55

Courts (in Scotland at least) are cancelled tomorrow except for essential business :)

Littlemisspawpatrol · 08/09/2022 22:55

Have the royal family all lost their importance and status for public ceremonies? I.e. is Beatrice still royal family as she will be the king's niece rather than the queen's granddaughter?

Yes, they don't lose titles they already have. If you are born with it, you have it for life.

Would they still appear on the balcony and whatnot though?

all strikes are off

EdithWeston · 08/09/2022 23:02

Passport wording changes to "His Majesty's Secretary of State....."

Princess Beatrice is still the grand-daughter of a monarch, so no change for her.

Archie and Lili Mountbatten-Windsor are now grandchildren of monarch in the male line and can be Prince and Princess should their parents so choose.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will always be a princess, it's their birth right.

The children of the Earl and Countess of Wessex are actually prince and princess also by birthright and because their parents accepted the titles , but use Lady and Viscount instead. They can at 18 choose to use them, but their parents don't think they will.

Zara and Peter however Anne declined their titles upon birth, but that's not to say the new King can't give them a title if he wanted to as they are still of royal blood.

But Charles has always wanted to streamline the family, and make it more "cost effective".

There are still VR postboxes.

one of the most famous postbox photos I can think of is a VR Victorian postbox - the photo of the IRA Manchester bombing aftermath with the lone postbox in the street

Brokendaughter · 08/09/2022 23:04

We won't get the double headed Queen coin now.
It will be Charles on the face instead by then so it will never be released.

It’s not automatic. The monarch bestows it. William will get it in due course.

EdithWeston · 08/09/2022 23:06

The title od Duke of Edinburgh has now vested with the Crown, and could be granted to another individual (quite probably Prince Edward)

Scout and Guide Promises change.

Spudlet · 08/09/2022 23:08

Andrew has definitely rediscovered his ability to sweat, if Charles really has as little
time for him as is said…

I suspect a lot of sports teams will be singing ‘God save our Que-King’ for a while until we all get used to it!

godmum56 · 08/09/2022 23:08

I think they may try and avoid having another Princess of Wales

mpsw · 08/09/2022 23:08

Some bits of military uniform might change the shape of crown on them

We have a VR box at the end of our lane.

I feel it's going to be a long time before I'll be able reliably to sing the national anthem correctly.
