If Charles passes his Prince of Wales title to William, George could also 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.
Prince George is the eldest child of Kate and Prince William and will one day be king.
Princess Charlotte
Following the Queen’s passing, Princess Charlotte will be known as Princess Charlotte of Cornwall and Cambridge.
She could also take the female equivalent of her brother’s title as Princess Charlotte of Wales in due course.
But 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 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.
