Hello. We're extremely honoured (and just a little bit over-excited) to announce that royal bride-to-be Kate Middleton is coming to MNHQ for a webchat today at 1pm.
A while back, we put in a formal request for Kate to take part in a Mumsnet webchat (nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that) but, truth be told, we weren't that hopeful, given her other pressing engagements this week.
But then, this morning, the Buckingham Palace Press Office rang to say Miss Middleton had some time this lunchtime between her last dress fitting and her first palace-balcony-etiquette briefing - and would be delighted to drop in and chat to Mumsnetters. Apparently, she's been lurking on Mumsnet quite a lot recently and has been finding the Bridezilla discussions a real eye opener. 
So, quick, please post your (suitably deferential) questions for Miss Middleton here - and join us for our very first royal webchat at 1pm.
WEBCHAT GUIDELINES: 1. One question per member plus one follow-up. 2. Keep your question brief. 3. Don't moan if your question doesn't get answered. 4. Do be civil/polite. 5. If one topic or question threatens to overwhelm the webchat, MNHQ will usually ask for people to stop repeating the same question or point.

Suspending disbelief in order to post a question...
How did you manage to end up being Catherine with a 'C' and Kate with a 'K'?
(asking because I always thought I was the only one and it confuses people mightily 
)
Hello Kate (or should it be Catherinbe? 
)
Do you think you will be able to hold onto any sense of normality (of your pre - William life) now that you are marrying a prince? That's meant in the nicest possible way of course!
Good luck for Friday and try not to get the giggles at the altar like I did.
Congratulations to you both.
You seem so incredibly happy and in love.
(Sorry, no question, just wanted to say that 
)

Bumper - It is a commonly held belief on Anglesey that the Waitrose was built because of William and Catherine's presence. We are all vair grateful -
Wow! I could be waaaaaay more excited about this than the actual wedding. I dislike intensely all the royal ceremony and everything about royalty (the noun not the actual members of...although her FIL to be 
...)
The only comment I've made about it all has been negative but even the anti royalists I know are "probably going to watch the wedding" so I might be forced to join in in preference to ostracising myself.
So, Kate, sell it to me!
I have loads of questions actually, and it's probably my secret inner fascination coming out - a relief because it would make me normal like all the other Queen lovers.
Kate, have any of your friends dared you to do anything naughty like make bunny fingers over the bridesmaids' heads in the photos or wearing a peephole bra underneath your dress and right raunchy suspenders, or trumping quietly at inappropriate moments, or sneaking rude words into sentences in a way that the older generation wouldn't notice (I recommend the Urban dictionary for this - esp. 'dragonbutter')?
How much say do you have in things on the day - can you choose the puddings and the disco music? Are you allowed a disco? If you are allowed a disco are you allowed songs which aren't the radio edit version?
What do you think of your second cousin who's a hairdresser - she's nothing like you is she? She seemed nice though. How come you didn't invite any of the more rogueish members of the Middleton side of the family? Some of them have made weird poems about you, you know.
If you changed your mind on the day, would you even dare to not turn up? That would be mortifying wouldn't it? This was just a hypothetically pondering question by the way. I have to say though 'that'd learn 'im' even though you reckon him splitting up with you was a good thing. It's never a good thing, when you don't want to split up, come on!
Are you going to try and stay a bit regular - I don't mean in the roughage sense, I mean in the not turning into a royal weirdo sense. I think your accent is just the right side of RP and I notice you don't do any weird coy demuring alongside William. That's good. The more 'Wife Swap couple' styling the better, like when you almost said William was a crap cook and you had to finsih off your own dinner.
Have a nice day and happy marriage. :)
