Think of it this way: When you want to read the latest about the Princess of Wales\u2014be it about the date of her annual Christmas concert<\/a>, a messy (and kid-related) DIY<\/a> or a solo appearance at Remembrance Day<\/a>\u2014what do you Google? Do you type in Princess Catherine? Or is your short-hand Kate Middleton? (Yep, it\u2019s true that Internet search results are also a factor here.) <\/p>\n There\u2019s one final point to be made on the matter: Beyond the fact that Kate Middleton is a household name, it\u2019s also one that cements her relatability. Princess Catherine\u2014who will ultimately become Queen Catherine\u2014is full of formality. It\u2019s giving \u201cqueen in her castle\u201d vibes, which, IMO, is fine when the time comes, but let\u2019s not retire Kate yet. The option to call her Kate elevates her ongoing accessibility and serves as a reminder of her commoner-turned-royal status.<\/p>\n Which leads me to my take and how we\u2019re handling it at PureWow. Our coverage typically leads with Kate Middleton, then transitions over to refer to her as Princess Catherine\u2014something I like to think of as a happy medium. In other words, I\u2019m personally ready to make the switch to more formality, but given our collective consciousness knows her first and foremost as Kate Middleton, baby steps.<\/p>\n More than anything\u2014and with the BBC\u2019s apology top of mind\u2014calling her Kate Middleton is by no means a sign of disrespect. In fact, it\u2019s the opposite. A term of endearment, if you will. But\u00a0one that\u2019s also more likely to show up in my Google search.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.purewow.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Think of it this way: When you want to read the latest about the Princess of Wales\u2014be it about the date of her annual Christmas concert, a messy (and kid-related) DIY or a solo appearance at Remembrance Day\u2014what do you Google?
