to think it is about time the world realised that it is not Kate MIDDLETON?

[DayToDayShit]

She has been married for almost 2 years.

I suppose its like everyone calling Princess Diana, Lady Di for about 20 years.

[meditrina]

The name Middleton was used on the legal papers in France.

[ajandjjmum]

Of course, Princess Diana was not Princess Diana, she was HRH The Princess of Wales!

[YouBrokeMySmoulder]

Do you mean in fact she should just be theDuchess of Cambridge and not referred to as anything else? Technically isnt it the case that william and harry etc dont have surnames so actually she could still be Kate Middleton iyswim.

[PomBearWithAnOFRS]

I don't think she's actually said if she wants to change her name or not. She could be Mrs. Windsor, or Mrs. Wales, or I think even Mountbatten if she wanted to, but there's no reason why she can't stay as Middleton if she doesn't want to change. It's not like she'll spend much time explaining who she is and worrying about her card being rejected in the Aldi or being turned away from places and so on

[JuliaScurr]

there is no legal obligation to change names on marriage

[FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn]

I agree. No one calls William "Will Wales", they refer to one of his titles.

[NotADragonOfSoup]

Did she change her name then?

[DayToDayShit]

will and hazza are Wales though.

[YouBrokeMySmoulder]

Daytoday, only for their jobs out of expediency. Its not their real surname as they dont have or need one.

[NotADragonOfSoup]

I agree. No one calls William "Will Wales", they refer to one of his titles.

They tend to call him Prince William. However, Kate doesn't have that kind of title, just the wordier and less personal Duchess of Cambridge.

[LineRunner]

What happened to Cambridge?

[expatinscotland]

I think it's time for the world to stop giving a shit about monarchy.

[scarlettsmummy2]

Why do you care?

[DayToDayShit]

do you care then scarlett?

[LineRunner]

I think if she didn't change her surname that's cool.

[SauvignonBlanche]

I couldn't give a shiny shite!

[BartletForTeamGB]

As a member of the Royal Family, she doesn't have a surname any more.

[TidyDancer]

Of course YABU! How do we even know she changed her name?!

[meditrina]

The Armed Forces use the surname Wales for both Princes William and Harry.

[selsigfach]

William is Will Wales at Raf Valley. I've see his peg!

[kinkyfuckery]

Hazza? Srsly?

[carabos]

Isn't she Catherine Cambridge? She's not "Kate" anything.

[Zara1984]

Actually I do wonder what's on her credit card. It must still be Middleton, right? I'm imagining a Visa card with DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE emblazoned on it :D
