Quick Summary

Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis use the surname Wales at school to reflect their parents' titles as Prince and Princess of Wales. This tradition aligns with how William and Harry were addressed during their time in education and military service when their father held the title of Prince of Wales. The change came after King Charles ascended the throne in 2022, altering William and Catherine's titles from Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Prince and Princess of Wales.

Story summary

Prince William and Kate Middleton, along with their children Princess Charlotte (11) and Prince Louis (8), changed the way they are addressed at school when King Charles III ascended to the throne in 2022. Previously, the royal siblings were known as George Cambridge, Charlotte Cambridge, and Louis Cambridge. However, after their parents' titles shifted from Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Prince and Princess of Wales, the children now go by the surname Wales at Lambrook Prep School, where both Charlotte and Louis are currently enrolled.

This change aligns with a royal tradition where members use their parents’ titles as their last names in educational settings. For instance, when William and his brother Harry were younger, they used to be called William Wales and Harry Wales since their father was the Prince of Wales at that time. Recently, Prince George began attending Eton College, a prestigious school for British nobility and wealthy families.

The shift from Cambridge to Wales reflects the evolving roles within the royal family following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
