Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is one of the most famous members of the royal family. She joined her in 2011 when she married Prince William. However, Middleton is not a princess. Considering that the first wife of Prince Charles was known to everyone as Princess Diana.
The couple Kate and William started dating after meeting at the university. They now have three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. But in the royal family, Kate is the only one who does not have the title of princess. The fact is that after the wedding of Prince William and Kate in 2011, the queen gave William a duchy. It gave the spouses a new title and the couple became the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Duchess is not Middleton's only title. In Scotland, Kate is known as the Countess of Stratheurn, and in Northern Ireland as Lady Carrickfergus, Express reports.
Usually, the title of princess is assigned to the biological descendants of the reigning monarch. This means that Kate's daughter Charlotte will be able to carry this title. Moreover, all women in the family who are directly related to the queen are also called princesses: Anna, Beatrice, Eugenie and Charlotte. However, experts recalled that Diana was not a direct relative of the Queen and was still known as the Princess of Wales. It turned out that this was never her official title.
To officially use the title of princess, Diana had to take the title from her husband. Thus, technically, Kate is a princess thanks to her marriage to William. However, a title can only be used with the prefix of its name.
