The Queen will bestow a dukedom on Prince William when he marries in a few hours time. Has the title been announced ?

I guess the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

    It won't be Windsor, I think that died when Wallace died, although it is a nice title.

    It'll have some connection to Wales, I'm sure. Won't be Snowdon either.

    (Running out of fabulous titles)


    EDIT: Could be Snowdon actually. I guess we'll find out soon. :)

    I heard that on the news too, they also said that William wanted to keep his Prince William, name, though of course it will depend on what the Queen decides. I believe it was going to be made public a couple of hours before the wedding.

    I was expecting them to be given titles similar to Diana and Charles. So assumed Kate would be the new Princess Of Wales.

    She will afterall be Queen one day no matter what happens. I think its also what the public want.

    That would be correct. Diana was Princess of Wales, not Princess Diana.

    That title isn't vacant.

    Camilla is Princess of Wales, although she doesn't use the title for obvious reasons.

    Here in Strathearn we spell it without the "e" at the end. I wonder if there are 2 Strathearns ? Any way I hope you all have a great days, those watching:D

    Oh that is just my spelling. Lucky to be that close! :)

    Mostly disinterest I suspect. Some tho will be quite pleased Im sure. Strathearn is a very beautiful part of Perthshire, I would be curious as to why he has been given this particular title.

    I take it that "Duke of St Andrews" was not available?

    I believe William will be the Duke of Cambridge since Prince George, 2nd Duke of Cambridge (1819–1904),

    You could tell us Duke. You must be an expert in these matters?

    Dont think St Andrews is an earldom. Strathearn is tho not used for the last 40 odd years.

    That is correct. What ppl call her of course may be something different but that is what she is officially known as.
    Duke of Cambridge.
    Earl of Strathearne

    These titles add an English, Scottish and N Irish title to the Welsh one he will inherit (actually most likely be bestowed... apparently you don't inherit the P of Wales title) when Charles passes it on (not when Charles passes on... it is thought he will pass on the PoW title a year or two after he ascends to the throne). Thus giving William titles in all four countries... a unifiying thingie... well thought out Mrs Queen :) Like William and Kate visiting all countries over the last few weeks. Got to get to know your kingdon your highnesses !

    Glad about the Cambridge title. I have quite a few friends, Cambridge educated, still living there, and not one royalist amongst the lot of them. Grrrrr! That's what you get when you bestow privilege on the unworthy :rolleyes:

    Good luck to William and Kate... not long to go... hope they're not feeling too nervous...
