If it is true that William has asked not to be given a title and for Catherine to be made princess in her own right, then it leaves me rather torn on the subject! I am not comfortable with Catherine being known as Princess William even though that is the tradition and convention in this country! For some reason it doesn't sound right even though Princess Michael does sound ok (probably because of being familiar with the name). Very few people these days go by their husbands name (e.g. Mrs John Smith) and I simply do not think the public will respond well to Princess William. Equally, I sympathize with William's desire to remain known as Prince William.
The only solution (if a solution is required) is to make Catherine a princess in her own right but it's not been done before and the last thing the Queen will want is Princess Michael of Kent turning up at Buckingham Palace asking to be released from her male title!
