Kate Middleton and Prince William Have a Secret Royal Title in Scotland, and It Sounds Straight from a Storybook
Kate Middleton and Prince William are going by some rare royal styling during their visit to Scotland. On April 29, Prince William, 42, and Princess Kate, 43, kicked off a two-day trip to the Scottish Isles of Mull and Iona to celebrate and connect with rural island communities. When Kensington Palace announced the trip, it referred to William and Kate as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, using the royal titles they go by in Scotland. The Duke of Rothesay is the traditional title for the male heir to the Scottish throne and has been since 1469, making his wife the Duchess of Rothesay — but that's not all. While in the Inner Hebrides, a chain of islands off the west coast of Scotland including Mull and Iona, Prince William and Princess Kate are known as the Lord and Lady of the Isles.

From there, the Lord of the Isles title was mostly held by the heir to the Scottish throne. Scotland and England became the United Kingdom through the Act of Union of 1707 and with it, the Lord of the Isles became another appellation for the Prince of Wales, the historic title for the male heir to the British throne.
