HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, GCVO (Catherine Elizabeth "Kate"; née Middleton; born 9 January 1982),is a member of the British royal family. Her husband, Prince William, Prince of Wales, is first in line to become King of the United Kingdom and 15 other Commonwealth realms, making Catherine a likely future queen consort.
Catherine grew up in Chapel Row, a village near Newbury, Berkshire, England. She studied art history in Scotland at the University of St Andrews, where she met William in 2001. Their engagement was announced in November 2010 before they married on 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey. The Prince's and Princess's children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are second, third and fourth in the line of succession respectively.
