I suppose she's called Catherine Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor at her documents.
I suppose she's called Catherine Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor at her documents.
Charles was entered into the marriage registrar (for at least his first marriage) as The Prince Charles Philip Arthur George. Both Anne and Andrew, however, used Mountbatten-Windsor. In the court case in France last year, William also used Mountbatten-Windsor. Catherine used Middleton because (I believe) it's customary for women to use their maiden names in legal cases in France - there was also an argument that Middleton was used because that's what she was referred by in the press associated with the photos.
Simply "Windsor" can also be used - Andrew and Charles went by Lieutenant Windsor while in the Royal Navy on a day-to-day practice, and prior to his marriage Edward was credited as Edward Wessex. Using titles also happens - after his marriage, Edward was credited as Edward Wessex, William and Harry have always used Wales as a surname, and Beatrice and Eugenie have always used York as one.
As such, it reasons that Catherine is entitled to use any of the following as a surname when she needs to use one: Middleton, Windsor, Mountbatten-Windsor, or Cambridge. Or, she may chose to go without, and be Catherine Elizabeth (which is now her full, legal name), or HRH Duchess of Cambridge, or HRH Countess of Strathearn (in Scotland), or pull it all out and be HRH Princess William, Duchess of Cambridge, etc. The woman has choices.
At the Queen's marriage certificate, she's called Elizabeth Mary Alexandra Windsor.

LOL at The Princess Elizabeth's condition being "Spinster" prior to marriage!!!
I can't believe we are going to see the birth of a future British Monarch.
Somehow I rather doubt they will let the cameras get that up close and personal
I'm going to bet money that WnK will give their child a standard boring name. Though I will give credit that Diana and Charles went for a William which I believe hadn't been used since the 1700's. I highly doubt they would go for an Adelaide, heck even Victoria would be a nice change. Wasn't there a Queen Charlotte at one time?
Joan Collins is right. Any woman who wants to stay beautiful (like me!) needs to diet every day of her life | Mail Online
Kate Middleton is six months pregnant, so where's the Duchess of Cambridge's baby bump? | Mail Online
Being 4 stone overweight at present I kind of envy this woman, even though she is getting a lot of negative daily mail comments at the moment.
Kate --- is Kate herself naturally thin? Or is she controlling her weight in some way too?
