Kate Middleton 10 Fast Facts, Bio, Wiki
In 2001, Middleton met Prince William while they were students in residence at St Salvator’s Hall at the University of St Andrews.
She reportedly caught William’s eye at a charity fashion show at the university in 2002 when she appeared on the stage wearing a see-through lace dress. The couple reportedly began dating in 2003.
During their second year, Middleton shared a flat with William and two other friends. From 2003 to 2005, they both resided at Balgove House on the Strathtyrum estate with two roommates.
In 2004, the couple briefly split but continued their relationship soon afterwards.
After her graduation, Middleton and her family were faced with intensive tabloid press scrutiny. She was often photographed daily by the paparazzi outside her flat and work over the course of their relationship.
This prompted multiple warnings from the Palace and Middleton’s lawyers. She attended William’s Passing Out Parade at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on 15 December 2006. In April 2007, they ended their relationship.
She and her family attended the Concert for Diana in July 2007, where she and William sat two rows apart. It was subsequently reported that the couple had reconciled.
On 17 May 2008, Middleton attended the wedding of William’s cousin Peter Phillips to Autumn Kelly in William’s stead, and met Queen Elizabeth II for the first time.
Middleton attended the Order of the Garter procession at Windsor Castle in June 2008, where Prince William was made a Royal Knight of the Garter. On 19 July 2008, she was a guest at the wedding of Lady Rose Windsor and George Gilman.
Prince William was away on military operations in the Caribbean, serving aboard HMS Iron Duke.
In June 2010, the couple moved into a cottage on the Bodorgan Estate in Anglesey, Wales, where Prince William resided during his RAF search-and-rescue training and subsequent career.
Middleton and Prince William became engaged in October 2010, in Kenya, during a 10-day trip to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy to celebrate William passing the RAF helicopter search and rescue course.
Clarence House announced the engagement on 16 November 2010. Prince William gave Middleton the engagement ring that had belonged to his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
Middleton, who was christened as a child, decided to be confirmed into the Church of England preceding her wedding. The confirmation service was conducted on 10 March at St James’s Palace by the Bishop of London with her family and William in attendance.
The couple married in Westminster Abbey on 29 April 2011 (St. Catherine’s Day), with the day declared a bank holiday in the United Kingdom.
Estimates of the global audience for the wedding ranged around 300 million or more, whilst 26 million watched the event live in Britain alone. Her wedding dress was designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.
Upon her marriage, Catherine assumed the style “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge”. The couple were given the country home, Anmer Hall, on the Sandringham Estate, as a wedding gift from the Queen.
Catherine keeps bees on the grounds of Anmer Hall. Following their marriage in 2011, the couple used Nottingham Cottage as their London residence. They moved into the four-storey, 20-room Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace in 2013.
Renovations took 18 months at a cost of £4.5 million. Kensington Palace became William and Catherine’s main residence in 2017, moving from their country home, Anmer Hall.
In 2022, it was announced that the couple, along with their children, would move to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.
On 3 December 2012, St James’s Palace announced that Catherine was pregnant with her first child.
The announcement was made earlier in the pregnancy than is usual as she had been admitted to King Edward VII’s Hospital suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness. She remained in hospital for three days.
Prince George was born at St Mary’s Hospital in London on 22 July 2013. The severe morning sickness returned with the subsequent pregnancies, forcing Catherine to cancel her official engagements.
She gave birth to Princess Charlotte on 2 May 2015 and to Prince Louis on 23 April 2018.
Prince George was third in the line of succession to the British throne, while Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were fourth and fifth, respectively, at the times of their births. William and Catherine have owned two English Cocker Spaniels, named Lupo and Orla.
She was born the eldest of three children to Carol and Michael in Berkshire, England.
She grew up in a modest home in Berkshire, where her family ran a party supplies business.
Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton, grew up in a family with little money, but she started up her own business from scratch, from her own idea.
In 1986, at the age of 4, she was enrolled at St Andrew’s School (a private school in Berkshire).
At the age of 13, she went to the Marlborough College in Wiltshire, where the annual fee was £15,000.
It was rumoured that at Marlborough College she had a poster of her future husband, Prince William on her wall. However, she quashed speculation by revealing it was, in fact, the “Levi’s guy.”
Since her childhood, Kate is a photography enthusiast.
In the mid-1980s, when she was still a child, Kate and her family lived for a few years in Amman, Jordan (a Middle East country).
