A morganatic marriage.
Princess Catherine is a commoner, but I did no research on it. I just saw the headlines of the news when her and Prince William got married. It said Commoner Kate is marrying Prince William.
She had no royalty before marrying into the Royal Family. She was simply a 'Commoner'.
She got engaged to be married to a "commoner"! She got engaged to be married to a "commoner"!
No, she was a commoner
Kate Middleton is not a princess. Her family is not royalty, and carry no titles, so she is referred to as a "commoner". Once she married William, she carries the title of Dutchess of Cambridge.
He was naught but a commoner. The Prince married a commoner. I am a commoner. Commoner refers to the regular masses of people without rank or elevated status.
The opposite of royalty could be "commoners." The term was used mainly in medieval England, although it came to light in modern times when the Duke of Wellington (due to become King Edward VIII) abdicated his throne for the love of his life, a "commoner" (and divorcee) named Wallis Simpson. Also, Rainier the Prince of Monaco married a technically "commoner" wife, but she was the beautiful and talented Grace Kelly; hardly a common woman at all.
In the past, it we unusual for a 'commoner' to marry into Royal families. However, in recent years, member of the Royal Family have been known to have relationships with non-royal people. Catherine Middleton married Prince William on the 29th April 2011. She was not of royal blood and is now the future Queen of the United Kingdom.
Prince William married Miss Catherine Middleton (a commoner) on 29 April 2011. In British law, strictly speaking, a commoner is anyone who is neither the monarch (King/Queen) nor a peer (Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount or Baron/Lord.) Prince William was a commoner before he was made a Duke; Prince Harry still is a commoner.
Yes, he is. Under British law, a commoner is anybody who is neither the Sovereign (ie. the reigning queen or king) nor a peer. Prince Harry, is currently neither.When his brother Prince William was married, he (William) was given the title Duke of Cambridge (ie. a peerage) and as such ceased to be a commoner.Harry, however, remains a commoner.By the way, commoner is not to be confused with the pejorative British term 'common' which refers to a person who is brash, vulgar and unrefined.(on edit) The above answer is totally untrue!!! Prince Henry (Harry) is NOT a commoner. He is a Royal Prince. So was (and still is) Prince William. Where do people get these stupid answers from????(further edit for clarification)The Oxford English Dictionary defines commoner as, among other things, someone who is not part of the aristocracy or royalty. Prince Harry (Henry Charles Albert David, or Prince Henry of Wales) does not fit under this definition of commoner, and OED contains a highly reputable collective of researchers.Keep in mind, too, that royalty experts worldwide prefer to avoid the word commoner as it has dropped out of favor of official British law.
