Kate Middleton’s name became a royal branding battle and Prince William was reportedly ‘fuming’

Prince William was reportedly “fuming” after King Charles and Queen Camilla suggested Catherine, Princess of Wales, change the spelling of her name to “Katherine” to avoid adding another C to royal monograms. Author Christopher Andersen described William’s reaction as “insulting”, while royal commentators debated the branding-driven request and Catherine’s attachment to her name.
