Kate Middleton: News and Views

Catherine Middleton, more commonly known as Kate Middleton and now the Duchess of Cambridge, became the fiancée of Britain's Prince William on 16 November, 2010.

She met the Prince while studying at the University of St. Andrews in 2001, and a relationship soon started thereafter. The couple continued to see each other until a much publicized split occurred in 2007. They were soon reunited the same year, since when Middleton has been seen at many royal events.

Because of this royal connection, Kate Middleton had become the centre of media attention and speculation, with both newspapers and magazines not only following her relationship, but also appreciating her fashion sense and style. As a result, she has appeared on many international best dressed lists.

The daughter of self-made millionaires, Kate Middleton's life has changed forever, becoming one of the new young royals under the continuous scrutiny of the press and public alike.

This media attention will continue to steamroller following Britain's latest Royal Wedding which took place April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey.

    I've always been entranced with all things English, and this Royal engagement is no exception. I think it's a wonderful thing that he wants his mother's memory to be a part of the wedding celebration. Thanks for sharing this lens.

    I am glad she is not being hounded like princess Di was, when she was about to marry Charles. it will be a lovely day
  • LKW31 Apr 4, 2011 @ 3:33 pm | delete
    She has such nice hair! This a great page, I learned new things today about her!
  • WordCustard Apr 2, 2011 @ 3:41 am | delete
    All eyes are upon her this month! Funny thing is I know very little about Kate even though I must have walked past her in the street dozens of times. However, she looks charming and stylish, and is 'real' enough that ordinary people will identify with her. She will have the world at her feet but so many pressures with it... useless to hope that the media will go easy on her so I hope she has the inner strength and the support of Prince William in coping with it all.

    I like her. What's not to like?
  • howtocurecancer Mar 29, 2011 @ 12:51 pm | delete
    I think she has to work alot to have the grace and elegance of Lady Di.

    Very nicely done lens. I wish them a long and happy marriage and that they will not suffer the fate of their predecessors! Lensrolled to my Royal Wedding lens :-)
