Kate Middleton Is Pregnant

Buckingham Palace announced this morning that Kate Middleton and Prince William are expecting their second baby. The Palace also stated that like Kate's first pregnancy, she is being treated for severe morning sickness. That was how their hand was forced the first time and led to all kinds of terrible things when a woman in a hospital treating Kate admitted that Kate was pregnant to Australian disc jockeys posing as royal family. The woman later committed suicide. That seems so long ago, but was less than two years ago. George was born in July 2013. Poor Harry will slide another position away from the throne, but you get the feeling he has no desire to be King and will just keep on being Harry as long as he can. There is no word on how far along Kate is, but it is believed she is less than three months pregnant. Great, so just six to seven months of non-stop media coverage of her pregnancy and her maternity fashion and articles about how George will be with his younger sibling.

      Not posting an article about it would be a good start as well. If you were that sick of it and not just trolling for clicks.

      I'm with Karen. Babies are cute and Kate is harmless, bring on the coverage.

    So, what are the odds on a girl baby being named Elizabeth Diana Carole?

      My guess is Frances Elizabeth Carole. Everyone expects "Diana" in there, but "Frances" would honour her and her mother, and be a different twist.

    I don't know why she is considered a style icon. She has very boring taste in clothes.

    And, her figure is really odd. She has an extremely long, narrow trunk and is almost the same width at the hips as at the waist.

    For people favoring Diana-i wouldnt name my child after her. She had a very unhappy life, starting in childhood, and miserable death. I think it wld doom the little princess, who deserves her own name without the baggage.

  29. Yoj3:19 PM

    If they intend to follow royal tradition (which Catherine is wont to do), then the second born will also be given a monarch's name. I'd say Elizabeth and Anne are both unlikely (too closely associated with living relatives), which leaves Mary.
    There are royal precedents for Caroline (Queen Consorts to George II and George IV), so that would be a more appropriate middle name than the diminutive Carole.
    I agree with AKM re. Frances rather than Diana.
    Therefore: Mary Frances Caroline.

    Why do they keep referring to Kate as Kate Middleton? The press didn't call Diana - Diana Spencer after she got married so what's with calling Kate by her maiden name? Seems like that would be considered bad form.

    @Yoj - I considered MFC as well! In fact, given your logic, that might make even more sense.

    (For goodness sake, I actually hope that "Diana" ISN'T in there, for the same reasons auntliddy gave. Just not the best omen, family honour or not.)

  32. AKM1:30 PM

    @MinPinGirl - I wonder if it isn't because it's easier for the hoi polloi to understand who they're talking about? She really should be called HRH The Duchess of Cambridge or Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge -- Brits, do I have that correct? -- or perhaps even Duchess Catherine, although I don't think THAT'S technically correct, either. Given any of that, lots of people might be all "Who?!" Say "Kate Middleton" and there's no confusion.

    I could be way off, though. Just my initial thought.

    (RE: Diana - Just as an aside, LOTS of folks called her "Lady Di" LONG after they'd even been married, which of course wasn't correct, either!)

    akm. diana spencer was thrust into the spotlight and became princess diana 1 year later..
    kate middleton was kate middleton for 10 LONG YEARS before willy boy wifed her up and the media is a different animal now.. everyone has called kate kate middleton for so long it just rolls off the tongue but diana was sequestered by the royal family and lived at buckingham palace for the whole year leading up to the wedding..the media and public didn't get used to diana's last name long enough to call her spencer before it wa HRH PRINCESS DIANA.
    i think it's less a matter of disrespect and more being a creature of habit. like when prince changed his name to that scribble everyone just kept calling him prince..

    I agree to most every reason you guys have given I'm just sort of surprised the queen hasn't been more of a stickler about the proper use of her married name or @ least calling her duchess Kate or something. They seem so hung up on titles and if the a Queen told the press that's what she expected to see in print I get the impression it would happen. They got those nude photos squashed pretty quickly.

  35. AKM12:36 PM

    @sugarbread - I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to tell me. Diana was "Lady Diana" because of her FATHER/FAMILY as far back as 1985. She was always nobility. And people got it wrong sometimes and continued to call her that in print and on TV shows throughout the '80s.

    ReplyDelete
  36. AKM12:38 PM

    (FWIW, I wasn't quibbling about her last name of Spencer. I was saying that people got her TITLE wrong sometimes for a few years after she became Princess in 1981. I recall a history teacher of mine in 1989 calling her "Lady Diana," for example. A HISTORY teacher!)

    "...diana was sequestered by the royal family and lived at buckingham palace for the whole year leading up to the wedding."

    Not to be pedantic, but she didn't move into Clarence House until the engagement in February, THEN to the Palace, with the wedding in July. Just a little over five months ain't a year.

    akm.. i was trying to say diana became a princess w/in a year of her being "known" to the public whereas kate middleton was just that for 10 long years before she became a royal.. it's hard to just switch off the kate middleton to duchess kate and maybe the american media feel it might be a bit pompous to constantly call her duchess catherine, after calling her waity katey for 10 years, ya know??
    the queen insists she be called duchess catherine IMMEDIATELY after the wedding which to americuuns seams a bit silly when she's been just kate for so long..

    Okay since I asked the question I tried to find an "official" answer for: how should the address Kate. Here's the best explanation I found.

    Okay. The Duchess Of Cambridge hasn’t been a Middleton since her wedding day and officially has no surname now. Princess Kate is just wrong as the title of Princess is reserved for royalty by birth, however taking the female form of William’s title, Kate can be styled as Princess William. Duchess Kate is incorrect because there is a designation in her title, names don’t enter into it!

    Kate, as well as being Duchess Of Cambridge, is known as The Countess Of Strathearn in Scotland and The Baroness Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland.

    Play it safe and always try to refer to her as ‘The Duchess Of Cambridge’, if needed you can always call her ‘Kate Cambridge’ as a last resort, but don’t jump on the ‘Kate Middleton’ bandwagon – it undermines her position and title!

  41. AKM1:27 PM

    "Princess Kate is just wrong as the title of Princess is reserved for royalty by birth..."

    But that can't be true. Princess Diana, while noble by birth, was not ROYALTY at birth, and became Princess upon marrying a prince.

    "...and officially has no surname now..."

    They have surnames. She would in fact be Catherine Cambridge, IIRC. Elizabeth was Elizabeth Windsor, Charles is Charles Mountbatten-Windsor, William and Harry used Wales, Fergie was Sarah York, etc.

    Curious where you found this explanation? I'm not certain that it's 100% correct. Any Brits out there who can help?!

    charles is the prince of wales and so dianna became princess of wales but everyone just called her princess di
    she is not technically a princess but she was the princess of wales, which camilla is now too but wisely chose to be duchess of cornwall. the prince of wales broach is very famous broach once worn by qe1 qe2 diana and camilla wears it to. there are photos of her wearing it.
    when charles becomes king, prince of wales title will pass to william w/ a fancy ceremony and kate will be the princess of wales too.. whether or not she chooses to take the same title as diana is unknown and never discussed publicly
    prince edward was the the pow when he was the next in line to the throne.. he abdicated and was titled duke of windsor

      This explains it a bit, but my understanding is that Catherine IS a Princess, in fact an HRH, however Princess is not her most senior title.

      Diana most senior title was Princess upon marriage not because Charles was a Prince, but because he was THE royal Prince of Wales as well. William is not.

      William is a royal Prince, but is only a Royal Duke (as his senior title), so she is styled By that title. In other words, Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge is a more senior title than simply Prince William of Wales.

      If he were only a royal prince and not also a royal duke, she would be Princess William of Wales.

      Princess Michael of Kent is in that position--married to a born royal prince, who is not also a Prince OF anything else and who is not a Duke or Count, etc of anything else either.

      As a side note, the HRH designation would probably be stripped upon divorce, as it was with Diana, but Catherine would still style herself Duchess of Cambridge.

      Debrett's is great for understanding all this hodge podge, if anyone is interested in more arcania.

      Ps--I typed this on my phone. Yay me.

      As stared earlier, referring to her as Duchess Catherine is just wrong, in terms of protocol, courtesy, and journalism. Here at CDaN people can onviously refer to her as they like, even the sexist, cringe-worthy 'Wait-y Katie.'

      Personally, I think the press (particularly British) referring to her as Kate Middleton are just being lazy (and insulting).

      I suppose I should feel lucky no one has deemed them KatWill, or K-Mid & P-Wills, or some other nonsensical horseshit...

      @sugarbread, can't find where I called William Ptimce of Wales, but if I did, it was in error. Sorry for the confusion

      He, as his father's son, has always been Prince William OF Wales, not Prince of Wales (which is Charles, as you said).

      It's a very small distinction, but important. It's why we have Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent AND prince Michael of Kent.

      To my knowledge, Harry is actually Prince Henry of Wales (again, his father's title).

    Sprink, I love the cousins/removed stuff too. I have a way to explain it that is really easy.

    If you want to know how two people are related, start with the common ancestor. Move down the family tree in the direction of each person. First move, doesn't count. After that, start counting (you're counting cousins). So, if you reach each person in two moves, they are first cousins.

    Now, assume you reach one person in two moves, but you haven't reached the second person yet. IOW they are not from the same generation.

    Stop counting cousins (they are first cousins) and start counting "removeds." Count down once, reach person #2 - they are first cousins, once removed. If you have to count down three times, let's say, then they are first cousins, thrice removed.

    Easy peasy!

    So, siblings are, technically, zeroth cousins. And your mom is your zeroth cousin once removed.

    I know, I'm being silly.
