Charles and Camilla Once Asked Kate to Change the Spelling of Her Name

When Catherine Middleton married Prince William in 2011, she entered a world of strict royal tradition. A new biography by a noted royal expert reveals that King Charles and Queen Camilla made an unusual request at the time. They reportedly suggested Catherine spell her first name with a “K” instead of a “C,” citing three primary royals—Charles, Camilla, and Catherine—all starting with C as too much. Publicly known as “Kate,” the name change was meant to avoid confusion, but it did not sit well with the couple. Catherine was said to be offended, and William “fumed” at the idea. Ultimately, she kept the original spelling. In recent years, their relationship has grown stronger, especially after both faced and overcame cancer diagnoses together.
