Kate Middleton changed her name when she married Prince William in 2011, and now the Duchess of Cambridge is looking to trademark that name. The reason is so that her charity can use the licensed name on various merchandise. Watch the video above to see how much money the foundation has brought in since Kate joined in 2011.
