The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, touched down in Canada, earlier this week. And you know what that means.
Yeah, yeah, she’ll be doing fabulous cultural things and meeting very important people, but it also means we get to bask in pleasure as each and every one of her lovely outfits gets captured by the thousands of photographers following her.
Embarking on a Royal tour around Canada with husband, Prince William and two children Prince George, three, and Princess Charlotte, one, Middleton kicked things off in this blue number straight off the plane:

Why do you insist on calling her Kate Middleton? Do you insist on calling your married friends by their maiden names?
Technically, she doesn't even have a last name any more because royals don't use them.
Royals have last names. They DO use them.
Also, do you not see the irony of also insisting in referring to married women by their husbands name by default?
I also find this frustrating. Most publications still refer to her as Kate Middleton and I think it's offensive. Articles relating to HRH Princess Mary of Denmark don't ever call her Mary Donaldson. Why is the media so hell bent on ensuring that we all remember the Duchess of Cambridge didn't come from a noble family? Show some respect and use her title.
It is personal choice if you choose to take on your husbands or wife's name and each to their own but if it has been taken on and in this case they have been married five years and have two children then use her married name. Instead of writing Middleton swap it out with Cambridge or the Duchess.
No, their "houses" have names. Only those further down the line of succession use the name Windsor. Both Princes William and Harry have used Wales as a surname in the past, which is part of their title, not the house name of Windsor, and neither parent used a surname on Prince George or Princess Charlotte's birth certificate.
Also, the Duchess has clearly chosen to use her husband's name, so why not use it? That's completely different from what you're suggesting.
Totally agree. In some part I suspect it's confusion over what to actually call her - I've seen her referred to as Princess Kate, which is certainly wrong. However, a bit of research goes a long way.
The Queen is not her MIL. The late Princess Diana would have been. The Queen is her husband's grandmother.
