Prince William and Princess Kate are set to make an official visit to the Isle of Mull later this month, where they will be addressed by their Scottish titles.
The royal couple will be known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay during their time on the Scottish island.
This formal recognition of their Scottish titles comes as they visit to celebrate rural communities.
The change from their usual titles of Prince and Princess of Wales reflects royal protocol when the couple are in Scotland.

The timing of the trip adds special significance as the couple will be celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary around the same time.
William and Kate were married on April 29, 2011, with millions watching as Kate became the future Queen.
Their upcoming visit to Mull will therefore coincide with their 14th wedding anniversary celebrations.
