Prince William and Kate Middleton upset?

Reports in the papers today say The Duke of Cambridge and his wife commoner Kate are upset with Buckingham Palace.Meaning they are upset with the Queen. .Because Kate was not given the title of princess.Never mind that the title of princess is only for actual members of the Royal family.But i guess she thinks she's special.That we should forget about protocol.Which only confirms what i have been saying that the Queen and i'm sure most members of the Royal family.Are disappointed with William for marrying beneath his station.Look back at the wedding and when the Queen first glanced up at MIddleton she didn't look to impressed,or pleased.William had a duty to marry someone with Royal ancestry.I'm not talking about marrying the Duke of York's daughter .But there are plenty of aristocratic Lady's with Royal ancestry.And there are plenty of beautiful European princess's out there.This is the pool from which he should have chosen.Who agrees with me.That this Middleton person is unacceptable in every way?????

    What, may one ask, is wrong with marrying the Duke of York's daughter, dear Hector? One shall have you know that dear Beatrice is a very noteworthy catch, dear boy. Did you know that she was wearing a satellite dish on her head during the Royal wedding? That is because she wanted to watch the BBC coverage whilst being there in situ at Westminster Abbey. She does have the most dazzling teeth. Indeed one was lucky to be wearing sunglasses whilst chatting to her afterwards. Snow blindness can be a terrible thing, you know.

    If you ask me, Prince William and Princess Beatrice were positively made for each other. Think of the teeth, dear boy!

    William apparently wanted his wife to have the title "Princess Catherine" but the Queen decided to follow tradition and create William a Duke and therefore his wife gets the tile "Duchess". However, she is also The Princess William of Wales and will become "The Princess of Wales" when William is created "Prince of Wales".

    Technically, Diana and the late Queen Mother were commoners but had courtesy titles. Sarah, Duchess of York and The Countess of Wessex were also commoners when they married members of the Royal family. it can only be good for the Gene pool.

    The Queen APPROVED the marriage and she has had private meetings with Kate for the last four years or so. It is old-fashioned in this day an age to require William to marry someone from the aristocracy, whereas in the past this was required to shore up alliances or make new ones, this is now not required.

    Well don't believe what you read on papers. Most of them are lies. I think Duchess is a much higher rank than Princess. Kate Middleton and Prince William are a lovely couple. It's destiny that made them be together and not 'arranged marriage'. They are currently residing in Anglesey, North Wales. They just want to live a 'normal' life out of the public spotlight to avoid any intrigues. Also, Prince William is currently on his RAF Pilot training that's why they've chosen to live there. His wife Kate is 'supporting' him as it is her Duty anyway according to Royal Family officials.

    I have to laugh when I read these stupid posts. They are not upset about anything and if they were WE would not know. Certainly not the newspapers in Britain, worse then the Enquirer.

    As for all the royal blood crap, their blood is red like ours there is no difference , does not make them any better then you and me. Blood is blood. A ridiculous amount of fuss or nothing although I quite enjoyed everything and follow the royal family. I am not a royalty hater but thinking people are better because they have "royal" blood is sooo outdated. They do , however , have more money. God, does that make trump Royal? ( a royal *** maybe)

    The British media habitually make up stories about the royals. They have to, because people who know what's really going on never talk to the media.

    Catherine is a royal duchess and therefore a princess by marriage. She has nothing to be "upset" about, since she was treated with the same honor given to other women who have married into the royal family. She is both Duchess of Cambridge and Princess William of Wales, and the ducal title is actually of higher status. She knows that.

    And there are not plenty of European princesses who were eligible to marry Prince William. Almost all of them are of the wrong age and the wrong religion.

    If I were you, I wouldn't pretend that I knew what the Queen thought about anything or anyone. She's not confiding in you.

    Don't you have any other problems?

    First of all I don't believe anything the papers say because they just make up stories so people like you have something to talk about.

    And do you think people with a title are better than commoners? They haven't done anything special for their title - they were just born into the right family. And what would you say if someone restricts your choice of finding a girlfriend/wife to a few hundred "suitable" female partners?

    I do not agree with you! And who are you anyway? Do YOU have any titles you can boast with?

    Actually she is a princess, so there is no upset. She is now:

    Her Royal Highness Princess William Arthur Philip Louis, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus

    My dear chap, it wasn't only the fact that the photograph was taken. It is the unwarranted intrusion, by the very vermin, that was instrumental in the killing of Prince William's mother.

    I disagree. Your thinking is very archaic and snobbish. Charles followed this kind of thinking and look how that ended for him. I think the Queen is forgiving and hopeful for William's marriage.

    What reports? What papers?

    the only paper in the UK that I trust is the London Times. All the rest are yellow journalism and tabloids, out to sell more copies than the next by posting headlines that shock, with stories that aren't illegal or inflammatory, but also don't reflect the headlines.
