When William becomes next in line to the throne, his title will automatically change to Prince of Wales. It is the title held by those first in line and it was inherited by his father Prince Charles 50 years ago.

Lest you think this is an unfair situation, that is far from the truth of the matter! In fact, Kate will inherit a great many perks as a part of being Queen consort. For one thing, she will move on up to the big house–Buckingham Palace.
