Kate and William become Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge
William and Kate’s formal titles have changed with the death of the Queen.
Their Twitter account reflected a change in their styling to reflect the shift which has occurred in the royal structure.
They will now be known as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, inheriting the title previously held by Camilla.
Kensington Palace has since confirmed the change.
It comes after Clarence House confirmed the new king, formerly the Prince of Wales, will be known as Charles III.
Camilla, formally the Duchess of Cornwall, will now be known as the Queen Consort.
Under the British constitution, the crown passes immediately to the heir without any delay until the coronation, which only serves as a ceremonial formality.
