What will William & Kate's titles be...?

[Romilly70]

This will only be announced on friday morning.

I think they will just make her a princess in her own right. (I know it's not the norm, but i think the royal family can make up any rules they like re: titles.) They do it in scandivia, so i think we will have a Princess Catherine.

Apparently Will & Kate don't want clunky old duke & duchess titles as it makes them sound too old. also they have gone to great lengths to make sure kate is constantly referred to as Catherine...

Orf the D & D of Milton North, even better. [cgrin][cgrin]

I mean the Duke and Duchess of Milton Keynes. Very good. Middle England will be pleased in a roundabout way.

I think it could be Hereford as Prince Charles is building them a house there. They are great, I'm very excited as this is a genuine once in a lifetime do. Plus my hubby is a footguard so it's extra exciting.

Princess William of Wales is AWFUL. I hope they're the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Given my social dominance up here, I like to think I am, in some ways, the Duchess of Cambridge, filling the vaccuum for a grateful public. I don't need a younger and prettier rival . She can have Cambourne if she likes, the new build place out west with the big branch of Morrisons and the brisk Fenland breeze. [cgrin]

Grumpy, what is a foot guard?

BoffinMum - it's a type of soldier (the sort whose ceremonial dress is red tunic and busby). William is to be married in his Irish Guards uniform.

When not on ceremonial duties, they have an armoured and mechanised infantry role. The Irish Guards have just returned from Afghanistan.

The Duke of Cambridge will forever be a pub, to me.

Jewel - if you really want to please Middle England in that way, then it has to be Swindon!

That is well British and cool. [cgrin]

Duke and Duchess of Sluff Slough?

It's Cambridge (plus 2 subsidiary titles).

Just confirmed that he'll be Duke of Cambridge

Just been announced - Duke of Cambridge & two other titles that I didn't quite catch. One was an Earl.

X-Post, sorry meditrina

I didn't catch the Earldom (possibly Strathearn?), and Baron of Carrick-Fergus.

Yep, Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron of Carickfergus.

Not bad for before breakfast!

Well I live within the area of Strathearn, so I'll pop the kettle on (you never know when they might pop in)

Interestingly, DS2's school trip to one of the colleges this week was suddenly cancelled as the Queen was coming up here (Cambridge). I wonder if Wills will be our next Chancellor - his grandad is about to retire from the role, if he hasn't already.

Yay! Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, am inordinately pleased

The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge - sounds a bit ordinary to me. Perhaps it suits them.

How utterly boring
I knew it would be but I lived in hope

they haven't as yet referred to them by their titles...
i am very disappointed she is not Princess Catherine - i know it is not protocol, but they could have made an exception
