Meanwhile, retailers could be in for a rude shock if they attempt to use Middleton's name to sell replicas products or clothing, according to royal aides and legal experts.

Despite nothing official being in place as yet, any label or brand which uses Middleton's name to sell merchandise risk being sued for infringing trademark and copyright laws.

A royal aide said: '(It is) highly unlikely that we would have any objection if a company wanted to call a dress "the Kate dress". ".Kate" isn't specific to Catherine Middleton. It may, however, be a different scenario if it was called the "Catherine/Kate Middleton" dress as that impacts... on personal copyright. Or indeed if a company was suggesting a dress was officially endorsed by Catherine.'

  • Very much looking forward to the royal wedding. Kate Middleton is going to look stunning. Wonder if they have chosen a good Celebrant yet.

    Black is for funerals.

    I want to know if her hat is vintage. It is so cute !

  • I guess that Kate is just not "posh" enough for the establishment, it has to be Catherine. How pathetic!

    Is it just me or are they really going out of their way to say her name now is "Catherine" not Kate. Kate may have been fine while they were dating but she is a grown-up please that we are trying to make a princess. Princess 'Kate' or Queen 'Kate' just doesn't sound that great. It is Catherine! Get used to it. We would appreciate, if the public regarded her as Catherine.



    lol ok so I'm done with my bemusings now.
