Young Royals’ Surname Revealed at Queen’s State Funeral

Prince George and Princess Charlotte have been praised for their brave and dignified display of devotion to their great-grandmother, Gangan, at her state funeral on Monday.

However, the event also revealed a significant change in the young royals' surname.

It was the first time the public saw that they now carry the surname Wales instead of Cambridge.

The change comes after Prince William and his brother, Prince Harry, both carried the surname of Wales when they were growing up.

Their new surname was seen for the first time in public on the Queen's funeral order of service.

Prince Louis, who did not attend the funeral, will also have the surname Wales.

According to royal expert Angela Mollard, this must have been an enormous few days for Catherine.

She has taken on a new role herself and has to teach her young children, aged nine, seven, and four, that their surnames have changed.

They are no longer George, Charlotte, and Louis Cambridge, but George, Charlotte, and Louis Wales.

This change in surname follows King Charles III's appointment of Kate and William as the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Kate became the first royal to be named the Princess of Wales since Princess Diana.

In his address to the nation, Charles said, “As my heir, William now assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me.

He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades.

Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, to Wessog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty.”

During the state funeral, Prince George and Princess Charlotte charmed the nation as the youngest members of the royal family to follow the Queen's coffin through Westminster Abbey.

They also attended the committal service in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle later in the afternoon.

However, it was a different story for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children, Archie and Lilibet.

A source has claimed that they will not be granted HRH status when they are appointed Prince and Princess by King Charles III.

The Sussexes have been left furious that their children will not also get HRH titles, despite agreeing to be Prince and Princess.

The tension reportedly arose due to the fact that Prince Andrew's daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, have HRH status despite not being working royals.

It is the agreement that Archie and Lilibet can be Prince and Princess but not HRH because they are not working royals.

The young royals' surname change and the Sussexes' situation have sparked discussions about the complexities of the royal family's traditions and protocols.

Nonetheless, the world continues to watch the monarchy with great interest, and the young royals have shown that they are more than capable of carrying on the family's traditions with grace and dignity.
