How UK royal family titles have changed since Queen Elizabeth II died

The changes to the UK's line of succession following the death of Queen Elizabeth II have been reflected in various changes of titles and responsibilities for royal family members.

With King Charles III in Scotland for a week of private mourning, the newly titled royals will not carry out official duties until after Monday, September 26.

But while the precise nature of their new responsibilities remains unknown, the titles have already been conferred.

Here, The National lists the titular and circumstantial changes in the UK's sovereign family,

King Charles III

The king is now the head of state for the UK as well as numerous Commonwealth realms. He is also head of the armed forces and the Church of England.

He will now undertake constitutional and representational duties which have developed over 1,000 years of history.

As head of state, King Charles is a non-political figurehead and must remain strictly neutral. He will not be able to air his opinions or try to meddle in politics, as he was known to do when he was Prince of Wales.

His focus will also pivot away from his work with his charities, but he said this work "will go on in the trusted hands of others".

It is not yet known how this work will be delegated.

The queen's patronage of charities will also not necessarily be adopted by the king but may be allocated to other senior royals.

In terms of his official residence, the king will use Clarence House as his home for the time being, with major building work at Buckingham Palace ― considered the monarchy's headquarters ― yet to be completed.

King Charles is expected to inherit his late mother's beloved private estates of Balmoral and Sandringham.

He will also inherit the crown estate — land owned by the sovereign and not the private possession of the king.

In exchange for the sovereign grant, the king will surrender the annual revenue from the crown estate to the UK government.

A date has not yet been set for his coronation but it likely will not be for months. However, it has been reported that King Charles does not want it to be as grandiose and thus expensive as his mother's, in recognition of the UK's cost of living crisis.

The Queen Consort

As wife to the king, Camilla automatically became queen consort and is no longer the Duchess of Cornwall.

There had been much controversy over whether she would use the title queen consort.

But Elizabeth II delivered a masterstroke in February, before her platinum jubilee, when she endorsed the Duchess of Cornwall to be known as queen when the time came.

Camilla will be crowned at King Charles's side at his coronation, just as the last queen consort, the Queen Mother, was.

Prince of Wales

Prince William has become the heir apparent, to be known as the Prince of Wales.

He also immediately inherited the title Duke of Cornwall and is now the Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge.

Now first in line to the throne, Prince William's role within the royal family will change significantly.

As a king-in-waiting, he is a step closer to becoming sovereign himself and preparations for this duty will intensify.

He will be required to carry out more official engagements at home and abroad in reflection of his seniority and to support the new monarch.

His financial situation has also changed substantially.

As the 25th Duke of Cornwall, he is entitled to the annual net surplus from the Duchy of Cornwall landed estate — which amounts to £23 million ($26m) a year.

The income will cover the cost of both his public and private life.

He already received money from the duchy through his father but now, as heir to the throne, he is entitled to take over its management.

The landed estate is valued at more than £1 billion and is one of the largest and oldest in Britain.

Prince William and the Princess of Wales moved only days ago to the four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage in Windsor's Home Park, to offer their children more freedom away from central London, amid a start at a new school.

It has been reported they will move to Windsor Castle or another larger property in Windsor in the future, but a source insisted: "Right now, the focus is the mourning of Her Majesty the Queen."

The Princess of Wales

Prince William's wife Kate is now the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge.

She is a queen in waiting and will play a vital role as one of the most senior women.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis

After the death of his great-grandmother, Prince George is now second in line to the throne, Princess Charlotte third, and Prince Louis fourth.

As their parents inherit the title of Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, the three young royals also become "of Cornwall and Cambridge".

Duke and Duchess of Sussex

The Duke and Duchess of Sussexes's titles have not changed. Although the duke has moved up from sixth to fifth in line to the throne, he is still too far down the line of succession to ever be expected to be king.

Harry and Meghan appeared to have invested their time developing their bond with the queen after they quit as working royals in 2020.

But their relationship with King Charles and Prince William has been greatly troubled.

As the new head of the Windsors, King Charles could, if he sees fit, offer to welcome Harry and Meghan back as part-time working royals.

However, this could conflict with their Netflix and Spotify commercial deals and a new life away from the monarchy.

Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor:

The Sussexes' children, Archie and Lili, are now, as the grandchildren of a monarch, a prince and a princess.

But it is not known whether they will use the titles, which they were not entitled to when they were born.

The rules set out by King George V in 1917 mean Archie and Lili — as the children of a son of a sovereign ― also now have an HRH style if they choose to use it.

Duke of York

The Duke of York will likely remain out of the public eye after he stepped down as a working royal over allegations of sexual assault and his friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Prince Andrew and his former wife Sarah, Duchess of York, will look after the queen's beloved corgis following her death.

Earl of Wessex

The Duke of Edinburgh always wanted his youngest son, the Earl of Wessex, to inherit his title. However, the decision now lies with Prince Edward's older brother, King Charles,

But, despite agreeing to his father's wishes in 1999, King Charles's thinking was said to have shifted over the years as he reassessed his plans for the future.

He is known to be in favour of a slimmed-down monarchy.

If Prince Edward becomes the Duke of Edinburgh, his wife, the Countess of Wessex, will become the Duchess of Edinburgh ― a courtesy title which was held by the queen following her marriage

Who has been sanctioned?

Daniella Weiss and Nachala
Described as 'the grandmother of the settler movement', she has encouraged the expansion of settlements for decades. The 79 year old leads radical settler movement Nachala, whose aim is for Israel to annex Gaza and the occupied West Bank, where it helps settlers built outposts.

Harel Libi & Libi Construction and Infrastructure
Libi has been involved in threatening and perpetuating acts of aggression and violence against Palestinians. His firm has provided logistical and financial support for the establishment of illegal outposts.

Zohar Sabah
Runs a settler outpost named Zohar’s Farm and has previously faced charges of violence against Palestinians. He was indicted by Israel’s State Attorney’s Office in September for allegedly participating in a violent attack against Palestinians and activists in the West Bank village of Muarrajat.

Coco’s Farm and Neria’s Farm
These are illegal outposts in the West Bank, which are at the vanguard of the settler movement. According to the UK, they are associated with people who have been involved in enabling, inciting, promoting or providing support for activities that amount to “serious abuse”.

TERMINAL HIGH ALTITUDE AREA DEFENCE (THAAD)

What is THAAD?

It is considered to be the US's most superior missile defence system.

Production:

It was created in 2008.

Speed:

THAAD missiles can travel at over Mach 8, so fast that it is hypersonic.

Abilities:

THAAD is designed to take out ballistic missiles as they are on their downward trajectory towards their target, otherwise known as the "terminal phase".

Purpose:

To protect high-value strategic sites, such as airfields or population centres.

Range:

THAAD can target projectiles inside and outside the Earth's atmosphere, at an altitude of 150 kilometres above the Earth's surface.

Creators:

Lockheed Martin was originally granted the contract to develop the system in 1992. Defence company Raytheon sub-contracts to develop other major parts of the system, such as ground-based radar.

UAE and THAAD:

In 2011, the UAE became the first country outside of the US to buy two THAAD missile defence systems. It then stationed them in 2016, becoming the first Gulf country to do so.

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026

1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years

If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.

2. E-invoicing in the UAE

Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption.

3. More tax audits

Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks.

4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime

Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.

5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit

There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.

6. Further transfer pricing enforcement

Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes.

7. Limited time periods for audits

Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion.

8. Pillar 2 implementation

Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.

9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services

Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations.

10. Substance and CbC reporting focus

Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.

Your rights as an employee

The government has taken an increasingly tough line against companies that fail to pay employees on time. Three years ago, the Cabinet passed a decree allowing the government to halt the granting of work permits to companies with wage backlogs.

The new measures passed by the Cabinet in 2016 were an update to the Wage Protection System, which is in place to track whether a company pays its employees on time or not.

If wages are 10 days late, the new measures kick in and the company is alerted it is in breach of labour rules. If wages remain unpaid for a total of 16 days, the authorities can cancel work permits, effectively shutting off operations. Fines of up to Dh5,000 per unpaid employee follow after 60 days.

Despite those measures, late payments remain an issue, particularly in the construction sector. Smaller contractors, such as electrical, plumbing and fit-out businesses, often blame the bigger companies that hire them for wages being late.

The authorities have urged employees to report their companies at the labour ministry or Tawafuq service centres — there are 15 in Abu Dhabi.

No more lice

Defining head lice

Pediculus humanus capitis are tiny wingless insects that feed on blood from the human scalp. The adult head louse is up to 3mm long, has six legs, and is tan to greyish-white in colour. The female lives up to four weeks and, once mature, can lay up to 10 eggs per day. These tiny nits firmly attach to the base of the hair shaft, get incubated by body heat and hatch in eight days or so.

Identifying lice

Lice can be identified by itching or a tickling sensation of something moving within the hair. One can confirm that a person has lice by looking closely through the hair and scalp for nits, nymphs or lice. Head lice are most frequently located behind the ears and near the neckline.

Treating lice at home

Head lice must be treated as soon as they are spotted. Start by checking everyone in the family for them, then follow these steps. Remove and wash all clothing and bedding with hot water. Apply medicine according to the label instructions. If some live lice are still found eight to 12 hours after treatment, but are moving more slowly than before, do not re-treat. Comb dead and remaining live lice out of the hair using a fine-toothed comb.
After the initial treatment, check for, comb and remove nits and lice from hair every two to three days. Soak combs and brushes in hot water for 10 minutes.Vacuum the floor and furniture, particularly where the infested person sat or lay.

Three ways to boost your credit score

Marwan Lutfi says the core fundamentals that drive better payment behaviour and can improve your credit score are:

1. Make sure you make your payments on time;

2. Limit the number of products you borrow on: the more loans and credit cards you have, the more it will affect your credit score;

3. Don't max out all your debts: how much you maximise those credit facilities will have an impact. If you have five credit cards and utilise 90 per cent of that credit, it will negatively affect your score.
