Can't say Ive noticed her referred to as Catherine. Its Kate this, Kate that. Then again, I am quite lowbrow in my media tastes so...

I guess its just an official thing.

It's the fact she's been Kate for the past 8 or so years she's been with him yet is now Catherine (Elizabeth) just cos she has a ring on her finger that pisses me off

See this is why old fashioned English people bore the ****** out of me, with their sh*t boring old names like Oliver, Elizabeth and James etc

Like seriously,
I see what you mean.

She gets ENGAGED not even ******ing Married yet and already people are acting as if she's the most important person in the world by giving her a 'classy' name.

IMO though Katherine is a dull name.

So Katie FTW.

I wonder if it would be ok for me to post how irish people bore the sh*t out of me with their sh*t boring pegs,heather and caravans.
its not what i think about the irish just trying to get patrick to see how small minded he is.

It seems ok to bash the english on here it would be a different matter if it was another country.

I don't see the problem. Most people call me Ben, but in the professional world people refer to me by my full name (which I prefer). It is, after all, her full name, and Queen Kate sounds a bit weak. Besides it's not like they will pass a law which means you have to refer to her as Queen Katherine, I'm sure she doesn't care how people say her name.

Queen Kate just sounds more modern.

We don't live in the 17 Hundreds anymore.

It's also called tradition. Somethings should change throughout history, but for this, I believe it should remain. In an ever changing world, we still need some traditional values.

I wouldn't bother trying to explain - it seems that traditional values are no longer, well...... valued!

I note you call yourself "Patrick" not Pat, or Paddy - not very modern is it?

Stop being silly Kelly. Catherine is going to make a very nice addition to the Royal Family.

It's just traditional. The Queen was known as "Lilibet" before she became the Queen to her family; many of us have shortened forms of longer names or nicknames that we are commonly known as - the monarchy like to maintain a regal sense to everything so she'll be known as Catherine in the royal sphere but Kate in the private sphere... It's nothing new.

Because Princess Kate/Queen Kate sounds a bit retarded.
