Kate Middleton












Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge (Catherine "Kate" Elizabeth, née Middleton; born 9 January 1982) is the wife of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, the second in line to the thrones of the sixteen Commonwealth realms (after his father Charles, Prince of Wales). Through marriage, she is also the holder of the titles Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus.

Catherine grew up in Chapel Row at Bucklebury, a village near Newbury, Berkshire, and studied in Scotland at the University of St Andrews, where she met William in 2001. They started a romantic relationship that continued until a break-up lasting for several months in 2007. However, they continued to be friends and rekindled their relationship later that year.

Prior to the wedding, Catherine attended many high-profile royal events. She has been admired for her fashion sense and has been placed on numerous "best dressed" lists. Once their relationship became public, Catherine received widespread media attention and there was much speculation that she and William would eventually marry. Their engagement was announced on 16 November 2010, and they married on 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey.
