The Duchess of Cambridge has entered her occupation as being "Princess of the United Kingdom", is that an occupation or should she had put "unemployed"?

Why also is her and William's surname not on the Birth Certificate?

In closing one would have thought the 'deputy' registrar could have made more effort with his or her handwriting on such a historically important document.

ANOTHEOLDGIT from the official royal website,

"The Royal Family name of Windsor was confirmed by The Queen after her accession in 1952. However, in 1960, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh decided that they would like their own direct descendants to be distinguished from the rest of the Royal Family (without changing the name of the Royal House), as Windsor is the surname used by all the male and unmarried female descendants of George V.

It was therefore declared in the Privy Council that The Queen's descendants, other than those with the style of Royal Highness and the title of Prince/Princess, or female descendants who marry, would carry the name of Mountbatten-Windsor."

Since William is a Prince and an HRH, he does not have the Mountbatten-Windsor surname.

Well I sincerely hope it is an occupation or my six year old granddaughter is going to be bitterly disappointed.
