We still call herKate Middleton.
Therefore, she is our future queen and mother of a future king in her son Prince George.

The Princess of Wales medical condition is real life; its happening now.
That we even know about it is extraordinary in itself.
Once upon a time the royals themselves werent told they had cancer!
His subjects werent told either.
Catherines revelations follow King Charles IIIs owncancer diagnosisandtreatment.
This is the mother of three children under the age of 10.
We live in this age of entitlement this age where people think its their right to know everything.
The danger with this is that we lose our humanity.
We lose our sense of caring.
Yes, I sound like a hypocrite because I want to know as much as the next person.
I may have private views about William being a bit of a prig, but Ive always admired Catherine.
But shes a formidable woman.
The strength it took to sit before cameras to make that video cannot be underestimated.
The late Queen Mother, Williams great-grandmother, said during WWII that she was glad weve been bombed.
It makes me feel I can look the East End in the face.
The Queen Mother wasnt born a royal, nor was Catherine.
But they both possess a certain pop in of grit that takes on life as it comes.
Where does this leave the British Royal Family?
The ranks are thin.
Queen Camilla can only do so much; she cant stand in for King Charles for every occasion.
The disgraced Prince Andrewshould not be allowed to take on royal duties.
He really shouldnt be allowed to appear in public again.
Hes a total joke.
So, what about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the exiled Harry and Meghan?
I do know, though, that time and love is a great healer.
If they could just do their bit quietly, from afar, and see how it goes.
But they will have to tread ever so carefully and keep their mouths shut.
No statements from friends and all of that malarkey.
Equally, William, must call off the attack dogs he has set for Harrys throat.
Must be my Nigerian royal blood!
The surgery was successful.
However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.
It has taken me time to recover from major surgery to get to start my treatment.
As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you.
For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, just do not lose faith or hope.
You are not alone.
