Pregnant with the future King or Queen of England and they still call her Kate Middleton. (If we're playing the name game, I'll say Victoria or Arthur.)

I think the media does it on purpose since she made such a big deal about people having to call her Catherine
jazzypom I think Charles pushed it3rd-Dec-2012 06:09 pm (UTC)
According to the papers, Charles hated the name Kate, and pushed her to reclaim her name as 'Catherine' (since they were impaling each other's crests, etc). But she's been known to the press as Kate for the time she's been with Prince William, you know? Also, it's easier to call her Kate than spell out Catherine.

What should they call her?
pikapika217 3rd-Dec-2012 04:57 pm (UTC)
She likes 'Kate' better tho

I don't know what's worse that or "Duchess Catherine" (I personally refer to her as Catherine Cambridge, cause I think it sounds cool)

Here's hoping the baby gets their mother's hair genes

It usually comes from the mother's side of the family.

Back when she was dating William for 700 years before he proposed the press called her "waity Katie."
jazzypom I know, right?3rd-Dec-2012 06:11 pm (UTC)
Not that she was ever a working Royal, but she'll never really work, not after this.

Goddamn.
