English : British, American and otherwise

I had a question for the Brits here - with Prince William marrying Katherine/Catherine (I forget which spelling - she's no Diana!) and the Queen giving her the title of Dutchess, the papers here in America are calling her "Dutchess Kate" (in the manner of "Prince William" - title then name). However, from what I know of titles, that isn't correct, is it? Isn't it Kate, Dutchess of Cambridge (or whatever area it was)?

Which titles work how? Is there something that goes in front of her name? Or is she just Mrs. Wales or whatever name William uses?

And speaking of Kate, how do you guys feel about her - especially the men guys? To me, she seems rather, er, controlling. She's just not attractive in the way that Diana was, IMO. I would think she'd send some men running.
