Today Catherine is known as the Princess of Wales, but “Her Majesty … didn’t make Kate a titled princess upon her marriage to William.”
Royal Family News: Princess Catherine Beat Cancer
Instead, Prince William and Kate Middleton were styled as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge upon their marriage; another option would have been for her to be titled “Princess William.”
Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth died in September 2022 upon which time, according to custom, her eldest son and heir King Charles ascended the throne.
At that time William and Kate became the Prince and Princess of Wales as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall. Prior to this Charles was styled the Prince of Wales, although his second wife Camilla did not take that title given that the late Diana, Charles’ first wife, used the moniker.
“Harry’s portrayal of her as cold and unwelcoming towards Meghan in his memoir Spare caused significant damage, and with the paperback version of the book coming out soon, those claims will surface again. Thankfully, Harry is not expected to promote it further.”
Fitzwilliams added that after enduring emotional turmoil, Kate is now focusing on her health, family, and royal duties, while avoiding the negativity surrounding the ongoing conflicts.
“We’ve seen positive signs of Kate’s recovery,” Fitzwilliams added. “Her focus now is on remaining cancer-free, and with William’s unwavering support, they are ready to move forward. Kate will avoid anything that brings unnecessary stress into her life.”
With Kate Middleton prioritizing her well-being and peace of mind, any hope for reconciliation with Harry and Meghan seems to be fading. The princess has chosen to move forward, leaving the royal disputes in the past, without looking back.
Royal Family News: Titles Matter To The Royal Family
When Kate was given the Princess of Wales title a source told the Daily Mail that she “appreciates the history associated with this role but will understandably want to look to the future as she creates her own path.”
“The couple are focused on deepening the trust and respect of the people of Wales over time. The Prince and Princess of Wales will approach their roles in the modest and humble way they’ve approached their work previously.”
This year, King Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer at the same time as Kate, bestowed a new title on his daughter-in-law: Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour.
