Prince William to be Duke of Cambridge
Prince William has been made the Duke of Cambridge and his wife Kate Middleton will become Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, after their wedding today, Buckingham Palace says.
The prince will also take the titles Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus.
The royal groom was given the titles by his grandmother, the Queen, to mark his marriage.
The title of duke is the highest rank in the British peerage.
The giving of new titles to members of the Royal Family on their wedding day is a long-standing tradition.
When Prince Andrew married, he became the Duke of York, Earl of Inverness and Baron Killyleagh.
Prince Edward became the Earl of Wessex and Viscount Severn on his wedding day in 1999.
The Dukedom of Cambridge was created in 1801 but became extinct on the death of the 2nd Duke of Cambridge in 1904.
