If you think Princes only exist in the pages of a fairytale, think again. His Royal Highness Prince William Windsor is a real live Prince – and a handsome one at that! So who’s the lucky girl who captured the heart of the heir to England’s throne? Prince William’s girlfriend is none other than Kate Middleton!
Catherine Elizabeth Middleton was born on January 9, 1982 to an airline pilot and a flight stewardess. Middleton’s life took a fairytale twist in 2001, when she met her Prince Charming at the University of Saint Andrew, where the two got the undergraduate degree.
The rest is history. After a split up and a reconciliation in 2007, the Prince and his lady now seem inseparable.
How long until Britain gets a new Princess? Well, Middleton turned twenty-seven this year still without a ring on her finger, earning her the nickname “Waity Katie” from the British tabloids. The media also criticizes Middleton’s lack of employment, portraying her as a maiden “hanging around” waiting for Will to pop the question.
But hey, despite the “patchy affair”, the pair do look like they’re in love. And though HRH Prince William’s and his brother Prince Harry’s schedules next year just took a turn for the hectic (intense training on RAF bases), we sincerely hope you won’t be a Lady in Waiting for too long, Kate.
