Kate Middleton’s name became a royal branding battle and Prince William was reportedly ‘fuming’

Wait 5 sec.

Prince William was reportedly “fuming” after King Charles and Queen Camilla suggested Catherine, Princess of Wales, change the spelling of her name to “Katherine” to avoid adding another C to royal monograms. Author Christopher Andersen described William’s reaction as “insulting”, while royal commentators debated the branding-driven request and Catherine’s attachment to her name.
