The Princess of Wales title had gone unused for decades by the time she took it on in 2022 and behind closed doors, Kate is said to have had reservations about receiving it. The title is traditionally held by the wife of the heir to the throne and the late Princess Diana was the last royal woman to use it before her daughter-in-law.
Queen Camilla chose not to go by this out of respect for Diana and in his book, William & Catherine, Russell Myers writes that Kate was "conscious" of the associations too.
