Kate Middleton

Princess of Wales. Is anyone else getting a tad fed up of seeing her in the papers every day in another outfit? Is this the Press’s way of annoying MeAgain?

She is a credit to the royals and to this country.
(Whatever you think of her, she has to be preferable to Amanda Holden!).

Oleanda, so do I. Her name is Catherine for a start. Whilst I accept that a diminutive of Catherine is Kate, I was always taught that you do not shorten anyone's name unless they introduce themselves by the shortened version. My neighbour is Catherine and I would never dream of calling her anything else (and happen to know that her family only ever call her that). Another neighbour is David, I would never call him "Dave".
Since she is always announced by her family as Catherine, Princess of Wales (etc), I assume she has decided to take her husband's titles and name. Consequently, she ought to be referred to by that name. Some people decide not to take their spouse's name and that is also OK - (I have a professional name and a married name and I have indicated I will answer to either, but that is my choice.) It's just sloppy journalism that has caught on.
Mind you, it was a long time before Sophie Rhys Jones was referred to as anything other than that; and Diana Spencer equally as long. Sarah Ferguson is another example.

I do wonder when we see Catherine, Princess of Wales in yet another outfit, carrying out jobs for the RF, if perhaps they are getting at Meghan by saying, This is what you could have had.
I'm sure the designers of her dresses etc are rubbing their hands together with glee, as they know that that particular outfit will probably be sold out by the end of the day.

On this occasion, Anne, I am going to have to disagree with you. I think it shows the signs of a happy, confident woman (and she is not just confident, she is steely) who is happy in her own skin and happy with her husband. I hope she was able to go home that night and say "Gosh, Roger is a right hunk - I had a really good day with him. But I think I annoyed his wife a bit. How was your day, sexy?" and know that her husband would say "Glad you had a good day, you saucy minx".
I'm not beyond flirting with another man (only socially of course) and Mr BM is not beyond flirting with another woman. Neither of us are unhappy (quite the opposite) and both of us have no issues at all with a little flirtatiousness with the opposite sex.
I think she is very happy indeed. And I also think she makes her deceased mother-in-law look like a rank amateur when it comes to ploughing her own furrow and making a difference.
