Americans can never get titles right.

Her title is NOT Princess. She’s the DUCHESS of Cambridge. (Just like Fergie wasn’t Princess Sarah, she was the Duchess of York).

Please correct the headline.

What are the rules for the title for the wife of a prince? Was Diana also a duchess rather than a princess? Was "Princess Diana" incorrect? It seems to me that was commonly used when referring to her.

"Americans can never get titles right."

I think they do that half-intentionally out of disdain for the rigid European caste system. Yeah. Yeah. I know. At the same time they're falling all over European royalty like a bunch of moviestars. People are not logical. And if it's all Hollywood anyway they don't have to be logical.
