Kate Middleton ask permission from King Charles to kick out Camilla from royal residence as divorce
King Charles III made a daring and interesting proposal for Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales. He believed that she should change the spelling of her name from Katherine to Catherine to avoid any conflict with regal conventions.
Kate changed her name to Catherine before she married Prince William, and the British royal family now refers to her as Catherine. However, the King’s idea was to change it to Catherine to align with imperial principles. It was revealed in Prince Harry’s memoir *Spare* that the King and Queen Camilla strongly advised the Princess of Wales to change the spelling of her name.
Prince Harry noted the reason behind this suggestion, stating that there were already two royal ciphers with “C” and a crown above them. The memoir shed light on the family dynamics of the British royal family and shared how the King had asked Kate to change the initial of her name from “K” to “C.” Camilla and Charles thought it would be excessively confusing to have another cipher. They proposed making it “Katherine” with a “K.”
However, despite the suggestion, Kate didn’t change her initials from Katherine to Catherine. This choice didn’t affect her relationship with her royal parents-in-law, as they continue to share a warm relationship. OK! reported that after the request was made, Prince Harry turned to Prince William and gave him a look that asked, “Are you listening to this?”—to which William did not respond.
King Charles’ request for Kate to change her name is interesting to note. Professor Anria Chernik told *Vanity Fair* why Katherine used the name Kate in college, which makes it clear what Kate decided for herself and how she has dealt with her identity over the years.
The complexities and customs of the British royal family are demonstrated by King Charles III’s request to change Kate’s name. Despite the idea not being followed, it’s apparent that Kate’s relationship with the royal family remains strong and unaffected. The memoir provides a glimpse into the dynamics of the royal family and insights into Kate’s personal choices.
The suggestion for Kate to change her name shows how much thought is given to every aspect of royal life. It also demonstrates how members of the royal family make individual decisions that may not always conform to conventional expectations. By keeping a positive relationship with her in-laws and demonstrating her independence and individuality within the royal family, Kate chose not to change her name.
