Prince William was reportedly ‘fuming’ after King Charles III and Queen Camilla suggested that Kate Middleton change the spelling of her first name when she joined the royal family, according to a new book.
Respecting Family Traditions
The request was to change the spelling of her full name from ‘Catherine’ to ‘Katherine’ due to concerns about having too many ‘C’s in the royal crests. However, Prince William defended his wife’s name, calling the request ‘insulting’ not only to Kate but also to her entire family.
Kate is ‘genuinely fond’ of Charles and assumed that he got the idea from someone else. She didn’t hold any ill will toward him, especially considering they were dealing with their simultaneous cancer diagnoses soon after.
Supporting His Wife
Prince William has always been protective of his wife, from defending her against topless photos to ensuring she doesn’t take on too heavy a royal workload that would keep her away from their children. This incident shows his commitment to supporting Kate and respecting her family traditions.
