always man um let's get right into this video hi this is Matt Baker today I'm going to show you the
changes in Royal titles that have occurred since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II so this is what
the line of succession looked like just prior to the death of the queen and this is what it
looks like now the most important change is of course that Prince Charles is now King Charles
III there had been some speculation over what regnal name he would choose because monarchs
actually do get to choose their name but it was revealed during the prime minister's speech on
the day that the queen died that he had chosen Charles III the other possibility had been George
VII being that most British Kings since 1714 have gone by George for example the Queen's father had
actually been called Albert but when he became king he was known as George VI even though he
had a younger brother named George Camilla is now Queen consort it had previously been thought that
she would use the title princess consort however during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee the
queen announced that Camilla would use the term Queen consort now keep in mind that there is a
difference between the type of queen that Queen Elizabeth was and the type of queen that Camilla
is Queen Elizabeth was a queen regnant meaning that she was the reigning monarch not her husband
however Camilla is a queen consort meaning that she's the wife of the ma Monarch the last time
that the UK had a clean consort was in 1952 when Queen Elizabeth's mother also called Elizabeth
held that role she was not however Elizabeth the first queen consorts don't get numbers
Queen Elizabeth the first was the famous queen that reigned during Shakespeare's time now as
soon as the queen passed Charles's firstborn son William became both the Duke of Cornwall
in England and the Duke of rothsey in Scotland because those titles are automatically given to
any male who is first in line to the throne now he already held the title Duke of Cambridge so he
is now a Duke three times over in England he's the Duke of Cornwall in Cambridge Cornwall comes first
because it's the higher title and his wife is the Duchess of Cornwall in Cambridge their Roth seed
titles are only used when they are in Scotland however the day after the Queen's death King
Charles bestowed upon William the additional title of Prince of Wales now this is something that did
not happen automatically the king had to actually bestow it traditionally ever since the year 1301
the title has almost always been bestowed upon The Heir Apparent to the English or later the British
throne prior to this the title had been used by actual Welsh monarchs who ruled the principality
of Wales which was an independent monarchy that existed from 1216 to 1283 however in 1283 Wales
became part of the kingdom of England and hence the title is now used as more of a ceremonial
one rather than being an actual title that indicates who's in charge of Wales now because
William is the new Prince of Wales this means that his wife Catherine is the new Princess of
Wales the title Princess of Wales being simply a courtesy title the last person to use it was
of course William's mother Diana technically Camilla had the right to use it as well but
she chose not to who Diana who Diana we talking about Diana Dirty Diana Michael Jackson make that
there was a you know hit up with um her and Michael Jackson where she met Michael Jackson
that Dan are we talking about the one that died because I don't really know much about the royal
family but obviously you see you see I'm right here trying to educate myself regarding the
royal family so is that we talk about Princess Diana the uh you know the Diana the popular like
if there's anybody in the royal family that was popular in my humble opinion it would have been
Princess Diana and obviously Queen Elizabeth II like in the 2000 era where you'd hear that like
for me that's what I think I don't know I don't know the facts but what I've known was her and
Harry I've not really known William right but I've known Harry because Harry obviously made headlines
like a lot and prior to becoming Queen consort she was known as The Duchess of Cornwall
previously William and Kate's three children used the phrase of Cambridge after their names however
they will now use the phrase of Wales there are places in the line of succession have also gone up
with Williams son George in particular now being second in line to the throne instead of third now
some people have asked why Harry is not second well the reason is because European titles are
usually passed down not across a system known as primogeniture keep in mind that if primogeniture
was not used this would mean that Andrew would be first in line followed by Edward rather than
William followed by George and speaking of Harry he does move up from six to five in the line of
succession but he and Megan did not receive any new titles in case you were thinking that the
second born Sun always receives the title Duke of York no this is not the case traditionally a
second-born son does often receive this title but only if it is not already held by someone else and
currently the title is held by the king's brother Andrew so basically it's unavailable however there
is one big change that has occurred with regard to Harry and Megan's family their children Archie and
lilibit are now officially a prince and princess in order to be a British Prince or princess one
has to be either a child of a monarch a grandchild in a male line or a child of the heirs eldest son
previously William and Kate's children met the requirement but Harry and Megan's did not however
now that they are the grandchildren of the king in a male line they are automatically prince
and princess now whether or not William would have been the older one so his kids would have
automatically been there but not Harry because mother died not mother died but queen died and
grandpops okay Harry's dad okay their parents will actually choose to let them use those
titles is yet to be seen in a similar scenario Prince Edward's two children were automatically
born prince and princess but their parents chose to have them use lesser titles instead
so those are the main changes but let me point out a few more things obviously everyone else
moves up one place in the line as well but I won't go through everyone because I actually
did that in a previous video earlier this year I'll link to that in the description if you want
to learn more about some of the quote-unquote Lesser Royals however I will remind everyone
that both Harry and Andrew are still in the line of succession even though in both cases they are
not official working members of the royal family albeit for very different reasons basically the
only thing that can remove you from the line of succession is death or actually becoming
the Monarch and then quickly abdicating one more title that is likely to change soon is that of the
king's youngest brother Edward he is currently known as the Earl of Wessex however it has long
been known that he will eventually be named the Duke of Edinburgh this title was previously
held by the King's father Prince Philip but it automatically passed to Charles when Philip died
yeah however now that Charles is king the title has basically gone extinct because a king cannot
officially hold any lesser titles this now means that he can bestow it Anew on whoever he chooses
and it's almost certain that he'll bestow it on Edward from there it will presumably pass
to his son James and then on to James's son if he has one the king's only sister is currently known
as The Princess Royal a title traditionally given to a Monarch's eldest daughter but again a person
can only receive the title if it is available for example Queen Elizabeth was never Princess Royal
even though she was the eldest daughter of a king this is because during the entire time that George
the sixless king the title was held by his sister Mary if Princess Anne were to die anytime soon
the title would become vacant because Charles does not have any daughters however if Anne dies when
William is King then presumably the title will be bestowed upon William's daughter Charlotte
I should also point out that it's possible that Louis May someday be given the title
Duke of York as this title has traditionally been given to second-born sons and unless the
king decides to strip Ander of his title and give it to Harry the next person who's
likely to get it will probably be Louis sometime after William is King
okay so that was a look at some of the changes that have occurred since the passing of Britain's
longest reigning monarch of all time thanks for watching wow that was beautiful that was beautiful
that was beautiful I can't let you that was beautiful I actually enjoyed it I actually learned
a lot wow wow I feel happy about myself man I actually learned how to put on really interesting
man it's passing all the way down now so William he's next in line because um you know like that's
pretty solid good for him he might be a king one day God's ruling so we don't see how that go but
um for now guys I'm gonna be up out of here y'all want to share any other videos for me to check out
