The Stupidity of the American Press

I saw this in an article from Good Housekeeping, Why You Should Stop Calling Her Princess Kate
Catherine won't be Her Royal Highness Catherine, Princess of Wales — until William becomes the Prince of Wales after his father takes the throne. Once Prince William becomes King, she will become Her Majesty Queen Consort Catherine VI.
'Queen Consort Catherine VI'! Have they never heard of Google, or even Wikipedia? The wife of the King becomes 'Queen' not 'Queen Consort', and whatever gave them the idea that Consorts take regnal numbers? Sounds like something out of a fantasy novel!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
