Princess Diana was the last royal to assume this title in 1981, which was given to her when she married the Duke of Cornwall. Though the title would have technically been passed to Duchess Camilla once she married King Charles III, she instead chose to go by the Duchess of Cornwall, which is said to be out of respect for the late Princess Diana.

Earlier this year, Queen Elizabeth II confirmed that Duchess Camilla will be named the Queen’s Consort, a title which is defined as someone who provides companionship to the monarch.
Queen Elizabeth's husband Prince Philip carried the title of consort to the Queen from the moment of her accession in 1952 up until his death in 2021, making him the longest-serving royal consort in history, though the Duke of Edinburgh rejected thetitle of Prince Consort in the early years of Elizabeth II’s reign, choosing to go by the Duke of Edinburgh instead.
It is thought that Queen Elizabeth's youngest son, Prince Edward, will inherit the title of Duke of Edinburgh now.

The Prince and Princess of Wales' children were known as George Cambridge, Charlotte Cambridge and Louis Cambridge, but this has now changed to Wales, in accordance with their parents' new titles.

Their uncle, Prince Harry, retains the title of Duke of Sussex, with Meghan Markle remaining the Duchess of Sussex, and their children being called Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.. The children are technically now a prince and a princess because their grandfather has become King, but it has not been confirmed by their parents or Buckingham Palace whether they will use the titles.
