Even as she battles her own health struggles, she has remained committed to supporting the monarch – and the royal family themselves. Royal fans have seen her return to the limelight in recent weeks, with appearances at Trooping the Color and Wimbledon. But as dedicated as the princess is clearly to her role, when Charles made a specific request of his bride several years ago, she is said to have refused – according to Prince Harry.
The Duke of Sussex revealed his father’s unusual request to Kate in his best-selling memoir Spare, which set out his perspective on what life inside the House of Windsor is really like behind closed doors. Harry claimed that Charles asked Kate to change her name, but she refused to comply with the request, which was done for a rather unusual reason.
“There have already been two royals hidden with a C and a crown on top: Charles and Camilla. It would be too confusing to have another,” Harry explained of his father’s request, adding that Charles hoped Kate would change the spelling of her name to avoid any confusion, “Make it Katerina with a K, they suggested me. I now wondered what came of that proposal.”
Harry also claimed that the moment the proposal was made, his older brother William played his cards pretty close to his chest, “I turned to Willy, gave him a look that said ‘Do you hear that?’ His face was blank.” However, Kate has retained the original spelling of her full name Catherine, despite the potential for confusion over royal ciphers.”
Although Kate preferred to keep the spelling of her name intact, the decision does not appear to have an impact on the close relationship she enjoys with her father-in-law. After Kate announced she was undergoing cancer treatment, Charles did not hesitate to support his ‘beloved daughter-in-law’ and praised the ‘courage’ she showed in the heartwarming video which revealed her health challenges. facing.
Queen Elizabeth similarly showed her support for Kate and her commitment to the monarchy in 2019 when she made Kate a Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO) – the highest rank awarded by the monarch. The special honor was announced on William and Kate’s eighth wedding anniversary. Royal expert Katie Nicholl explained at the time – writing for Vanity Fair – that “the GCVO is a further demonstration (and very public signal) of the Queen’s appreciation and support for Kate.
