After Queen Elizabeth II's death, a new royal era has officially begun. With King Charles III now as monarch, Prince William and Kate have also taken on new titles as Prince and Princess of Wales, and with new titles come new responsibilities.
Prince William and Kate, Princess of Wales, meet volunteers and operational staff who were involved in facilitating the Committal Service for Queen Elizabeth II at St George's Chapel, at Windsor Guildhall, Berkshire, Sept. 22, 2022.But ABC News royal correspondent Victoria Murphy says William and Kate have been working toward this moment for quite some time.
"They still have plenty of freedoms with William as heir in the same way that Charles did when he was Prince. However, they will also be required to spend time supporting the King and the British government in their work, such as investitures, receptions, state visits, overseas tours and other visits," Murphy said.While their workload will expand, their grounding roles are as mom and dad to George, Charlotte and Louis.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis , accompanied by their parents the Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, arrive for a settling in afternoon at Lambrook School, near Ascot, Sept. 7, 2022.
"I don't think that any decision to have [the kids] appear publicly will be influenced by the change in their positions in line to the throne, but more on what is deemed suitable for their age and what level of exposure the family feels comfortable with," Murphy said.The couple is the first to use the Prince and Princess of Wales titles since Charles and the late Princess Diana.
Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales, wave during a visit to the RNLI Lifeboat Station in Anglesey, Wales, United Kingdom, on Sept. 27, 2022.William graduated from the Search and Rescue Training Unit at RAF Valley in Anglesey when he was raining to become a helicopter pilot with the Royal Air Force's Search and Rescue Force.
