Sharing social media tips? Charles and Camilla follow the Cambridges’ lead by changing their Clarence House display name to ‘The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall’ to make it ‘more personalised’
- Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall have made a change to Twitter account
- Instead of social media name being Clarence House, it’s now ‘more personalised’
- The royal couple first joined Twitter in 2010 under their household’s moniker
It appears the royal family have been sharing social media tips, with Prince Charles and Camilla adopting a new display name on their Twitter account after a similar move by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Eagle-eyed royals enthusiasts spotted that the couple, who have been touring Cornwall this week, changed their Twitter moniker from Clarence House to the ‘more personalised’ label of The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.
It was a move first made by Prince William and Kate, both 38, in May, when they changed their social media names from Kensington Palace to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Unlike the younger royals, Charles, 71, and Camilla, 73, have yet to adopt the approach for their Instagram account – but fans were quick to praise the couple on Twitter for their display change, suggesting it feels more ‘personal’.

While a third added: ‘Aww finally… they changed their username from Clarence House to The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall on Twitter like Kensington Palace.’
Charles and Camilla and William and Kate also use the same photograph of The Mall in London for their cover image, showcasing the road filled with people waving Union Jacks.
The Clarence House Twitter account was created in October 2010 and offers updates, pictures and videos from the household, about The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.

The change comes after Vanity Fair’s Katie Nicholl revealed how Prince Charles is ‘looking forward’ to spending time with Prince William and Kate and his grandchildren Prince George, seven, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, two, during a ‘family holiday’ in Scotland this summer.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will travel to Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire for their annual summer break in ‘early August’, Buckingham Palace confirmed.
Her Majesty, 94, had been self-isolating in Windsor Castle since March, but is now set to travel to Scotland alongside Prince Philip, 99, next month.

Reports had previously suggested the Queen and Prince Philip were keen to get away for their annual holiday, but would remain socially-distanced from family.
Although the duo’s loved ones will join them for the traditional summer get-together. they will not be able to get close to the monarch.
When the other family members arrive at the 50,000-acre estate in Aberdeenshire, the Queen will not host them in the castle and instead they will stay in other properties on the grounds.
They will be able to meet her for outside activities instead including walks, horse riding and picnics.
