Who is Kate Middleton?

Kate Middleton was born on the 9th January 1982 in Reading, Berkshire, England. She is known for her relationship with Prince William of Wales. While attending the University of St Andrews in 2001, Kate met Prince William. At the time, she was in her first year at St Andrews. From around Christmas 2003 to April 2007, she and Prince William were involved in a relationship that was subjected to intense media attention. Her status as the girlfriend of Prince William brought her widespread media coverage in the UK and abroad, and she was often photographed on her daily outings. On October 17th 2005, she complained through her lawyer about harassment from the media, stating that she had done nothing significant to warrant much publicity. In February 2006, it was announced that Kate would receive her own 24-hour security detail supplied by the Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Department. This fuelled further speculation that she and Prince William would soon be engaged, since she would not, otherwise, be entitled to this service. No engagement occurred. However, media attention greatly increased around the time of Kate's 25th birthday in January 2007, prompting warnings from both Prince Charles and Prince William and from Middleton's lawyers, who threatened legal action. As a result, the papers stopped publishing pictures of her.
