Among other things, Queen Elizabeth’s death has set in motion the first move forward in the line of succession in seven decades. New titles will also be bestowed upon other senior members of the royal family. Charles’ eldest son, Prince William, is now heir to the throne, and his wife, Kate, will take on increasingly public roles. Following the death of the queen, the couple's titles on all social platforms have been updated to the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge. The Duke of Cornwall title is traditionally held by the eldest son of the reigning British monarch, with his wife taking the duchess title.
