Kate and William's lesser known Scottish titles they're set to use on upcoming trip

Kate Middleton may be mostly known by her most prestigious title of Princess of Wales but it's not the royal's only grand style.

Both she and husband Prince William inherited a series of new lesser known titles after Charles took the throne last year and many of them are Scottish.

It was announced by Buckingham Palace that William and Kate will take part in royal engagements in Scotland next month alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla to mark the Coronation.

While they are in Scotland, the Prince and Princess will be able to use their new Scottish titles - the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, the Mirror reports.

The Scottish title Duke of Rothesay is always reserved for the heir to the throne along with other styles which include Baron of Renfrew, Earl of Carrick, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland.

This means in return the heir's wife Kate can also be referred to as Baroness of Renfrew, Countess of Carrick and Lady of the Isles.

However, Duke and Duchess of Rothesay is the highest ranking title and is what they will use during their visit in July.

The royal couple are set to attend an event on July 5 in Edinburgh, where King Charles will receive the Honours of Scotland, which are the oldest crown jewels in Britain at a national service of thanksgiving in St Giles' Cathedral as part of Royal Week.

A people's procession of around 100 community groups will collect the honours from Edinburgh Castle.

The procession will be led to the cathedral by the Royal Regiment of Scotland and its Shetland pony mascot Corporal Cruachan IV which is supported by cadet musicians from the combined cadet force pipes and drums.

A royal procession will also travel from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to the cathedral with the public set to line the Royal Mile to view both processions.

At the end of the St Giles' service, a 21-gun salute will be fired from Edinburgh Castle before the royal procession travels back to the palace.

During the service, the Stone of Destiny will be in the cathedral and a fly-past by the Red Arrows will also take place after the event.

The people’s procession will include ambassadors from a wide range of organisations in Scotland, including the he College of Master Kilt Makers, Scottish Youth Parliament, the Scottish Tartans Authority, Guide Dogs and the Scouts and Girl Guides.
