British Culture: ALPHABET (D)
5年前Hi all!I'm writing about British culture.I thought a cool way to introduce some British culture into the Verbling community would be to work through the alphabet and talk about a topic for each letter.
So, for D we are focusing on.....The Duchess of Cambridge.
This is the Royal Title given to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Prior to her marriage she was known as Kate Middleton. Kate Middleton and Prince William met at the University at Prince Andrews. They dated for years before becoming engaged in 2010 and were married in April 2011.
The wedding was said to have been watched by 2 billion people worldwide. Here are some of the photos of the day: https://www.royal.uk/wedding-prince-william-and-miss-catherine-middleton
After the wedding, the Queen gave a title to Prince William and Catherine (Kate), as is tradition. The married couple were thereafter known as The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
A duke (male) or duchess (female) can either be a monarch ranked below the emperor, king, and grand duke ruling over a duchy or a member of royalty or nobility, historically of highest rank, below princes of nobility and grand dukes.
The Duchess of Cambridge has three children; Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Her Royal Highness (HRH) is a big fan of tennis and hockey.
