Duchess Of Cambridge

[mata hati]

For heavens sake - when will the press stop referring to the Duchess of Cambridge as Kate Middleton !!! Sorry but it really annoys me that she's not given her correct name or title. Any one else?

[naomi24]

No. It doesn't bother me.

[douglas9401]

Sorry, I'm too busy with treasonous thoughts aboout her at the moment.

[agchristie]

No, what about Camilla? Not as often referred to as the Duchess...

[andy-hughes]

I think the media are keen for the upcoming royals to have more of a 'common' touch - and because Kate still seems to hang on to her links with the real world where the rest of us live, they are going to play up to that.

It's better than her previous name........waity Katie :-)

[jackthehat]

Apart from the usual sour collective, I've never really known quite who used to refer to her as 'Waity-Katie'.

And 'waiting' certainly was the right approach to have taken; not quite sure what else she was supposed to do.

Calling her 'Kate' would be sufficient so I don't really understand why, as a married woman, the media usually add her maiden name when they speak about her.

[Kathyan]

I don't know why the press call her Kate either. Her name is Catherine and Prince William always refers to her as such.

[Tizzi24]

Couldn't care less what they call her.

[viv41]

No, it doesn't really bother me, although I do like her and Wills.

Kathyan - //I don't know why the press call her Kate either. Her name is Catherine and Prince William always refers to her as such. //

The press love to pretend a level of chumminess which they clearly don't possess.

That's why they invent utterly stupid and stratospherically annoying 'names' for people in the public eye, like BoJo and SuBo, and SamCam.

It's all piffle.

I'm with you Mata - really annoys me.

Really ?

Why ?

I could understand if it was someone close to her , having a problem

Haven't you got more important matters in life to worry about ?

[Prudie]

It doesn't bother me at all but I do wish she'd get a new stylist - I've never seen such frumpy dowdy clothes on a woman her age, she'll regret it one day.

[DTCwordfan]

Kate, the D of C anagrams to 'shamefaced, bigoted huckster'

[viv41]

I agree Prudie, she does dress frumpy for a young woman in her earlyl 30's.

[gingejbee]

It doesn't interest me what she's called....or what she wears! I have more important things to occupy my time....eg is it time to eat yet?

[viv41]

^ Like reading this thread and posting on it ??

[ToraToraTora]

it doesn't annoy me too much but I do agree they should not use these chummy names.

[mata hati]

I can see I've unintentionally rattled the cages of the "royal moaners"! I was perhaps putting my post in the wrong manner. I meant to point out that journalists seem incapable of saying things correctly! and since when did it become fashionable to say "I'm bored OF it" instead of "I'm bored WITH it"? And no Bazile I seemingly don't have better things to worry about. Aren't I lucky!!
