After the passing of the queen, title changes went into effect instantly.

For example, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, got an upgrade to William, Prince of Wales.

These changes impacted some high-ranking royals, as well as those we don’t hear of as often.

The role of David Cholmondeley has been upgraded, according to Richard Eden of theDaily Mail.

This controversy hit the fan when it was believed William spent Valentine’s Day with Rose, not Kate.

Many fans thought this could be in reference to the allegations of infidelity.

David’s title changes didn’t end there.

He will get another royal role, and this one will strengthen his connection to the brood.

The Marquess was just last week given a new senior appointment by the King.

This would NEVER have happened were the rumor [was] true."

While others chimed in saying they believe David received this new title to keep him quiet about the affair.
