Kate Middleton is 42! Celebrate her birthday with her best photos here.
Kate Middleton is beloved by Britain as the Princess Of Wales. But unlike her hubby Prince William, she wasn’t always destined to be royalty. Kate, born January 9, 1982, first charmed the Prince when they met in 2001 while studying at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.
They began their courtship around 2003, it wasn’t until Nov. 2010 that the couple was finally engaged. People around the world tuned in to watch their royal wedding when it happened in 2011. The Prince and Princess started a family soon after, welcoming Prince George in 2013, Princess Charlotte in 2015, and Prince Louis in 2018.
Kate isn’t just a princess. She’s been dedicated to philanthropy since assuming her title. She holds patronage within over 20 charitable and military organizations, including Action for Children, SportsAid, and the National Portrait Gallery.
And through it all, she’s been the epitome of glamour. Her fashion choices have been mimicked by many, in turn, catapulting the career of designers like Emilia Wickstead. Kate was truly radiant during this appearance at Britain’s National Portrait Gallery in London on May 4, 2016.
