"   Photo: Getty Images  Kate Middleton&amp;#039;s only been engaged to Prince William for two months, but her name&amp;#039;s already been associated with everything from faux sapphire rings to Reiss` white dress reissue and even a tea towel controversy, so the royal family&amp;#039;s stepping in and putting a stop to the craziness. In a statement issued this weekend they say first that she&amp;#039;s not actually a brand, but that &amp;quot;she has a reputation to uphold and because of that she is, to all intents and purposes, akin to a brand or marque,&amp;quot; \u2014 like, she&amp;#039;s kind of a princess, but not really. So what does this mean? That brand&amp;#039;s can&amp;#039;t put her face or (full) name on any kind of product or use her to sell anything. Reiss can&amp;#039;t shill the Kate Middlton top and Issa probably can&amp;#039;t send emails boasting about a Princess Middleton frock. Of course, in the run up to the wedding itself her name can be used on plates. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
