Prince William has unexpected reaction after Kate Middleton gets called ‘beautiful’ by royal fan
Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the naming ceremony of the HMS Glasgow in Scotland on May 22, where Kate, as the ship’s sponsor, delivered a speech and performed the traditional bottle-smashing christening. As the couple walked past spectators, a fan shouted, *”You’re beautiful!”* to Kate before hastily adding, *”You too, William!”* The pair laughed, with William jokingly responding, *”You don’t have to say that. Don’t worry!”* before guiding Kate away.
Despite being the Princess of Wales for over a decade, Kate is still often referred to by her maiden name, Middleton. PR expert Megan Boyle suggests this stems from the public’s familiarity with her since her university days and the “fairytale” narrative of her romance with William. Additionally, online searches and media SEO strategies favor “Kate Middleton,” making it the more commonly used term. The couple, who married in 2011, share three children—George, Charlotte, and Louis—and remain beloved figures in the royal family.
