Hi Royal Clubbers,

Since we launched the club last year, we have tended to use ‘Princess Kate’ when referring to the Princess of Wales. Several of you have got in touch to express your concern at the informality of this address.

Our reason has simply been that the Princess of Wales is widely known as Princess Kate, but we want to rise above the herd. Our foundational principle is a love for – and reverence of – monarchy. And Prince William himself calls his wife Catherine, so perhaps this is all the instruction we need. However, before making any changes, we want to gauge your thoughts on the matter.

Please answer the following question, and we will let you know the results next week. If you object to our use of ‘Princess Kate’, we will change course!
