The Royal Family has always been a source of fascination and, sometimes, controversy.
The latest incident involved a seemingly heartfelt note from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Prince William's wife, Catherine, the Princess of Wales.
Yet, it's not just the note itself that's caused a stir.
In a public message of support following the Princess's cancer diagnosis, Harry and Meghan referred to her as 'Kate', a name she previously dropped in favour of 'Catherine'.
The message from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wrote, 'We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.'
Before her marriage, The Princess of Wales shared that she wished to be referred to by her full name, Catherine.
Princess Catherine's family members and close friends have respected her request, with the public and the media following suit.
According to reports, Prince William found it 'an entirely unnecessary and deliberate irritation'.
It's not just about a name; it's about respect and courtesy—both vital in personal relationships and Royal conduct.
The use of 'Kate' instead of 'Catherine' was perceived as a subtle dig during a time of hardship.
This incident also highlighted the rift between the Royal brothers, which has widened over the past years.
Prince Harry and Meghan's departure from Royal duties and Harry's memoir Spare, among others, have contributed to the strain.
The use of 'Kate' just became a part of their concerns that need to be addressed.
The Royal family, despite their unique position, continues to deal with relatable family concerns.
In recent news, the Royal Family's annual holiday at the Balmoral Castle saw invitations for several family members.
However, reports stated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not included in the guest list.
This debacle is a reminder of the importance of respecting others' wishes, especially when it comes to personal things.
They are humans with preferences that deserve to be acknowledged.
Whether it's sticking to a preferred name or honouring someone's wishes, these small acts of kindness could go a long way.
