I’ve been Told that “Earl of Chester” is a courtesy title normally Given to the Eldest son of the Duke of Cornwall (currently Prince Charles). Does that mean Kate Middleton That Will Be the Countess of Chester?

Even Better Than That dear boy, Shall she become the Queen of the United Kingdom some day! Now, If She Were to be conferred as a Countess, One Would Imagine That She Will choose an area to compromise Which Commoner reflect her roots. For this reason she Shall become the Countess of Brixton.
We do not know what Middleton Will Be Called. The Queen May Decide to grant a royal peerage William in His own right, and, if she does, it Could Be Either a ducal or earl’s title. I suppose she could-That décidé Using one of the Prince of Wale’s secondary titles Would be ‘appropriate, though “Earl of Chester” leg hasn’t Used by a son of a Prince of Wales recently. Before he Became king, George V, son of the Prince of Wales who Became Edward VII, was the Duke of York, and he Received That title while His father was still Prince of Wales. Later he was called Duke of York and Cornwall. His older brother Albert, who predeceased Their father was the Duke of Clarence and Avondale and Earl of Athlone. Neither Ever used the title “Earl of Chester,” to my knowledge. Whatever Middleton is called, It Will depend entirely on what is called her husband. At minimum, She Will Be “Her Royal Highness, Princess William of Wales.” That Could Be Added to “Duchess / Countess of Whatever.”
The title of Earl of Chester is a secondary title belonging only to the Prince of Wales. Such ashes, That title can not be Used by Prince William. It’s Likely That Her Majesty The Queen compromise confer a royal dukedom on Prince William prior to His marriage. If so, after Kate is married to Prince William She Will Be Known As Her Royal Highness the Duchess of (name or dukedom). If no royal dukedom was conferred on Prince William Kate then Will Be Known As Her Royal Highness Princess William of Wales after her marriage.
That is how it is normally done. However this practice is normally more comm Used only with non-royal Dukes as William does not need a courtesy title as he is Already a Prince of the United Kingdom. Upon marriage She Will there become HRH Princess William of Wales. However if Tradition is then followed William Will Probably be made a Duke as a wedding present. Would she then be HRH The Duchess of (Place). Likely Doms Duke if he gains one are: Clarence, Sussex and Cambridge.
No.
Will she become the vice, or countess NonChester.
