They suggested that she spell it "Katherine" with a K to avoid confusion with the existing royal cyphers.

Harry remembers this incident and wonders what became of their suggestion.

He looks at his brother, Prince William, to see if he is also surprised by this revelation.

Prince Harry's face shows that Prince Charles supported them financially out of duty, not generosity.

The royal family has existing cyphers with a C and a crown above, which would create confusion with another C-named royal.

It is unclear if Kate Middleton ever seriously considered changing the spelling of her name.

This shows how King Charles and Camilla influence royal family decisions.
