In his tell-all memoir 'Spare', Harry revealed that the King and Queen suggested that Kate should spell her real name Catherine with a K instead of a C as there were already two Royal cyphers with the letter C - Charles and Camilla - and they didn't want another one.Harry penned in 'Spare': "There were already two royal cyphers with a C and a crown above: Charles and Camilla.
