Queen Elizabeth II's death on Thursday marked a historic change in titles and roles within the royal family as the newly-appointed King Charles III named his firstborn son, William, and wife Catherine the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Their amended names also come with adjusted appointments, and marked a "new era" for the palace as a royal expert exclusively told Fox News Digital that after more than seven decades under Her Majesty's rule, the family is wading into "unchartered territory." "The way we have known William and Kate and Charles and Camilla, those are bygone days," Shannon Felton Spence, former British Public Affairs official, said. "It is a new era."  Queen Elizabeth II's death on Thursday marks a "new era" for the palace as roles change for Prince William and Kate (pictured in 2019,) along with King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla.

"They were also supposed to do another visit to the US this year, who knows if that happens."  William and Catherine, who were named the Prince and Princess of Wales by King Charles III on Friday, were previously known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. "Regardless of the timing, they all have different roles now," Spence said.
