Kate Middleton revealed the reason for initially denying to take up the title of Princess of Wales. 

The reason behind the refusal involved late Princess Diana. 

In Robert Jobson's new book about the Duchess of Cornwall an excerpt that caught eyeballs was as follows, " Middleton wanted to keep stressful comparison with her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who was closely associated with the title." 

In the book, the British journalist also mentioned that Middleton was baffled about the title as it belonged to the 'people's princess.' 

The author wrote, " She knew she'd inevitably be compared with Diana, whose untimely death had provoked such a tsunami of anger and grief. And she was right.”

 "Kate found all such talk stressful. Indeed, it got to the point where she felt she might follow Camilla (who opted to become Duchess of Cornwall) in refusing—when the time came—to be known as HRH Princess of Wales," it further read. 

After Queen Elizabeth's death in September 2022, King Charles exceeded to the throne and Prince William was handed over the badge of Wales.
