I like the word "poncey", Lizzie, but am vaguely disturbed to discover that the United States Navy has a ship called USS Ponce !!
----perhaps it means something different (as do so many words ) over there !
          As to Kate ; well, on Thursday or Friday morning (I forget which), the female presenter of the BBC "Breakfast" programme referred to her as " Queen Catherine" , which is a bit ..well, premature ,wouldn't you say ?? Besides which,there'll be about 20-30 years of King Charles & Queen Camilla to go before anything like that happens ; by which time .... (call me cynical !).

A student from Berkshire,named Kate,
Went out with a Prince,on a date ;
He have her a ring,
Which made her heart sing,
Although really, it just sealed her Fate.
