William and wife now duke, duchess of Cambridge  LONDON (AP) -
Prince William and Kate Middleton got their first royal wedding
present from the queen on Friday: the titles Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge.   There’s more: The palace statement said William was
also named the Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus.
Middleton took those titles when she said “I will,” becoming
Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus.  Strathearn
ties William and Middleton to Scotland, where the pair met and
fell in love. Baron Carrickfergus is a little-used title which
refers to one of the oldest towns in Northern Ireland.  All
three titles were bestowed by William’s grandmother, Queen
Elizabeth II, to mark the prince’s marriage and were announced
early Friday via Twitter, by email and on the royal wedding’s
official website.  Because Middleton was not born royalty, she
will not officially become Princess Catherine _ although the
public may choose to call her that, or even “Princess Kate,” in
defiance of protocol.  Roy
