Buckingham Palace has just announced the new title for the lovely couple. William will now become Duke of Cambridge and Kate Duchess of Cambridge. I think that sounds so old for a beautiful young princess.

Totally agree Lilli, why couldn't the Queen make her Princess Catherine, you would think the Monarchy would have learnt after the death of Diana.

William to be Duke of Cambridge



Prince William has been made the Duke of Cambridge and his wife will become Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, after their wedding, Buckingham Palace says.



The prince will also take the titles Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus.



The royal groom was given the titles by his grandmother, the Queen, to mark his marriage.



The title of duke is the highest rank in the British peerage.



The giving of new titles to members of the Royal Family on their wedding day is a long-standing tradition.



When Prince Andrew married, he became the Duke of York, Earl of Inverness and Baron Killyleagh.



Prince Edward became the Earl of Wessex and Viscount Severn on his wedding day in 1999.



The Dukedom of Cambridge was created in 1801 but became extinct on the death of the 2nd Duke of Cambridge in 1904.





from BBC.







She will become Princess of Wales when William becomes Prince of Wales.

Are you saying that calling someone a Princess and addressing them as Your Royal Highness isn't stuffy and old fashioned?

According to protocol, she is not officially Princess Catherine as she was not born a princess in her own right. Instead she adopts her husband's first name, in the same way as Princess Michael of Kent, who married the Queen's cousin Prince Michael of Kent.



But it is likely that in the eyes of the media and public, she will always be known as Princess Catherine or Princess Kate.

Shrimp, I collapsed when Guido said he took me as his awful wedded wife, the service had to be stopped as I couldnt stop laughing then everybody there saw the funny side and burst into laughter. We had to have a 20 minute break to compose myself. How true his words were xxxxx

I know it was wrong but nerves did get the better of me and in fairness his english was pretty limited then xxx

What a fabulous pageant! Only the British can lay on such a wonderful event like that IMHO. Time and executed to perfection. Eat your heart out USA. No wonder so many millions of people were watching around the globe. I loved the trees in the Abbey, master stroke. I can only imagine how many weddings will have something similar.

My one concern is the title,the Duke of Cambridge reminds me of one or two pubs I've visited. I'm waiting for the jokes to start as to what Catherine does down at the pub.

Hector Im not british, but today I saw what the brits do best. The timing and precission. It was a really wonderful pageant. Those vistors camping out from all over the world enjoying the day. The abbey was magnificant as was Kate. How many dresses will be reproduced. I would have loved to have been there. I hope its revived companies like spode, wedgewood etc. It was a real feel good factor. Deniz Bless him times I want to kill him xxxxxxxxxx

The anti royals forget just how much money and goodwill such an event brings to the UK. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Queen looked wonderful as usual. The honeymoon location is a secret and I don't blame them for keeping it so.

@ msg 27, Hector: Excuse me! There are no "anti royals" - there are royalists and on the other side there are democrats which means republicans. Just for the record.

And how much is this addition to our parasitic dysfunctional family going to cost the British tax payer.



The argument that the income to the country is more than the wedding cost just doesent wash.



How much was lost in production with the addition of another public holiday?



Queenies ok but lets just have one not all the hangers on its about time they did a proper days work.

Lovely wedding, loved her dress, but her sister was also fabulous! So elegant!

Very English service of course, and only few street parties in Scotland - none in Glasgow!

Queen looked amazing considering her age as did Philip.

Am an incurable romantic, so I love it all. Long live our monarchy! God Save our Gracious Queen.

Would any of our politicians give as much, care as much, or be as faithful to us?
