One woman called the Cambridges "Will" and "Kate," and they were very cool about it.

In a world where most people refer to their bosses and bankers by their first names, it is understandable why it would not come naturally to follow protocol with members of the British Royal Family.

When meeting the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, it is polite to address them first as "your Royal Highness" followed by "sir" or "ma'am." But Nicky Hurst, who was selling cheese from a stall in Abergavenny, Wales, had not been briefed on this point. When she chatted with the Cambridges, she decided to call them by name.

"They are lovely," Hearst told People. "I didn't know what they were like or what to call them by their titles. I called them 'Kate' and 'Will,' and they were so relaxed."

I mean, you kind of wish, don't you? It's hard to imagine the queen being that relaxed about being called "Lizzie" to her face, and for good reason.

Name aside, Hearst gave the royal couple extra points by preparing Prince William's favorite rare cheese.

"I asked William what he liked and he said he liked a really rare Swiss cheese called Kaltbach. So I said, 'Here you go!' ' I said. He was really surprised and said, "I didn't think you had it!" And he said, "I didn't think you had it!

To be honest, I would love to share a glass of wine and gossip with the vendors at the Abergavenny Market. Sisters Christine Hughes and Carol Davis, who run a fruit and flower stall, also spoke to People. The girls revealed that they told the Duke that they were "at your Nan's," or going to London for the Jubilee celebrations in June, which drew laughter."

"Your Nan" is almost as good as "Lizzie," and I love them for it.

Anyway, Hughes was a big fan of "Mr. and Mrs. Cambridge." She told People, "They are a great couple, very down-to-earth. They would make a wonderful King and Queen. For what it's worth, experts who spoke to "Marie Claire" during the Jubilee agreed with this prediction.
