Princess Kate, widely recognized as the Princess of Wales, holds a lesser-known nickname bestowed upon her by King Charles, a title she seldom uses.
While her global persona is synonymous with the prestigious Princess of Wales moniker, there exist additional titles that she and Prince William inherit as part of their royal heritage.
Following King Charles’ ascension to the throne in 2023, the royal couple were granted various titles, some of which are more regionally specific in nature.
Among these titles are 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 the enchanting land of Scotland.
Additionally, they bear the titles of the Earl and Countess of Chester, each title carrying its own historical significance and regional relevance.
These titles serve as a testament to the rich tapestry of royal heritage that the couple embodies.
In a notable display of royal duties and traditions, Prince William and Princess Kate, accompanied by King Charles and Queen Camilla, partook in engagements in Scotland last year to commemorate the monarch’s coronation.
During their time in Scotland, the royal couple embraced their Scottish titles, with Prince William assuming the title of Duke of Rothesay, among other Scottish designations.
This title holds particular importance as it is used by the heir apparent alongside a series of other Scottish titles, symbolizing the continuity of royal lineage and tradition.
Furthermore, when in the picturesque landscapes of Northern Ireland, Prince William adopts the title of Baron Carrick-Fergus, while Princess Kate assumes the title of Lady Carrick-Fergus.
The historic town of Carrick-Fergus, nestled in County Antrim, predates the bustling capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast, adding a touch of antiquity to their royal designations.
These titles serve as a nod to the deep-rooted history and cultural heritage of the regions they represent.
