Blogcritics The critical lens on today's culture & entertainment
Kate Middleton is the on-off-on companion of Prince William of Wales, the second in line to the British throne. She was born in 1982 and they met at University of St Andrews, Scotland, in 2001.
She now enjoys official protection, after enduring paparazzi attention that has led to her circumstances being compared to those of the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
Bloggers are frequently interested in her clothes, her behaviour, her treatment by the royal family, and follow in great detail the apparent progress of her relationship with the prince.
