Princess Kate
Princess Kate joined the royal family when she married Prince William, whom she met while attending the University of St Andrews in Scotland in 2001. Born January 9, 1982, she is the eldest daughter of party supply company owners Michael and Carole Middleton.
Kate began dating William, son of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana, in December 2003. The couple briefly split in April 2007 before reconciling later that summer.
Three years later, William proposed during a vacation to Kenya. The pair tied the knot on April 29, 2011, at Westminster Abbey in London, officially earning the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Kate’s first pregnancy was announced in December 2012. Son George Alexander Louis was born on July 22, 2013. She gave birth to their second child, a daughter named Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, on May 2, 2015, and welcomed son Louis Arthur Charles on April 23, 2018.
Following Queen Elizabeth II’s death and Charles’ ascension to the British throne in September 2022, Kate was named Princess of Wales, marking the first time the title was passed on after Princess Diana’s 1997 death. Her husband became Prince of Wales, a title reserved for the monarch’s first heir.
In January 2024, Kensington Palace announced that Kate underwent abdominal surgery and would be taking a step back from her royal duties until after Easter as she recovered. After weeks of speculation about her condition, Kate revealed in March 2024 that she was diagnosed with cancer.
