While it's no secret that the Duchess of Cambridge's first name is Catherine, fans might be surprised to learn that she signs off her emails in a much more informal way.

This week, the duchess shared a screenshot on Twitter of an email that she'd sent to the judges of the "Hold Still" photography project, which aims to capture the effects the coronavirus pandemic on the United Kingdom through the people's photographs.

The Twitter post was captioned, "An email was sent yesterday... #HoldStill2020," and the email attached revealed that she had "chosen the final 100 portraits." To end the email, the duchess signed off as just "C," forgoing her official title.
