What Royal Titles Will Prince William And Kate Middleton Take On?
Posted on Fri Apr 8th, 2011 10:10am PDT By X17 Staff
On April 29 when William, Prince of Wales, walks down the aisle with his bride Kate Middleton, the new couple may emerge with new titles ...
Kate wouldn't be able to take on the title of HRH Princess Catherine of Wales according to tradition, because she isn't a princess in her own right. In recent years, however, the crown has broken from tradition and allowed similar titles -- but only if the Queen approves. OR, Kate could become HRH Princess William of Wales.
When Camilla Parker Bowles married Prince Charles Wales in 2005, she became the Duchess of Cornwall rather than the Princess of Wales -- she chose not to use that name because of its associate with Diana.
Even Prince William's title is up in the air. He could choose to take on a title related to Scotland, where he met Kate at St. Andrews University in Fife; or, when all is said and done, Prince William could choose to remain HRH Prince William of Wales
Geez, let's keep it simple, people! Can't we just call them Prince William and Princess Kate?
If the royals really wanna go crazy, Prince William could keep his current title AND add another, which he'd share with Kate. So complicated!
