King Charles revealed Prince William and Kate Middleton's official new titles as he gave his first televised address as the new monarch.

His Majesty, 73, said they will now be known as the Prince and Princess of Wales.

And that's not their only new title.

Kate, previously Duchess of Cambridge, will be known as the Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge.

Meanwhile, Prince William will now be the Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge.

And their three kids, Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, also have new titles…

Prince George

Prince George will now be known as Prince George of Wales.

Both Prince William and Prince Harry were known by the Wales title before they married, as their father Charles was at that time the Prince of Wales.

And mirroring his parents, he will also be Prince George of Cornwall and Cambridge.

Prince George is the eldest child of Kate and Prince William and will one day be king.

Princess Charlotte

George's sister Charlotte will be known as Princess Charlotte of Wales, and she'll also be known as Princess Charlotte of Cornwall and Cambridge.

William and Kate's only daughter could become the Princess Royal when her father becomes King.

The title is reserved for the monarch's eldest daughter and is currently held by Princess Anne.

Although Princess Charlotte is expected to be given the title, it's not an automatic right and it has to be bestowed by the reigning monarch.

Royal expert Duncan Larcombe told Town & Country: "It is a title that remains for life.

"Princess Charlotte will have to wait at least until the death of the current Princess Royal."

Prince Louis

Prince Louis Arthur Charles was born on April 23, 2018, at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London.

He will now be known as Prince Louis of Wales and also Prince Louis of Cornwall and Cambridge.

And just like his older brother, he was granted the title of His Royal Highness under letters patent issued by his great-grandmother. 

The Succession to the Crown Act 2013 ruled means that Prince Louis will not jump over his older sister Charlotte in line to the throne.
