Actually I believe they did - both Charles and Diana were given 2 additional titles which I cannot bring to mind at this moment - it was just mentioned on the CBC news coverage.Originally Posted by Natalie_ca
When Diana married Charles, she was "Lady", and after the marriage she was "Princess Diana", not "Princess Charles".
So I'm confused as to why Kate will become "Princess William of Wales" and not just "Princess Catherine of Wales"
And as for the Countess and Duchess? I didn't know they get all of those additional names. I don't think Diana did.
Kate will NOT be Princess William of Wales since Charles (William's father) is the Prince of Wales and she is not his wife (Camilla is not a Princess either, of course.)
Royal titles are very confusing to say the least.
