Early life, education and career

Catherine Elizabeth Middleton was born on 9 January 1982 at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading into an upper-middle-class family.[1][2] She was baptised at St Andrew's Bradfield, a local parish church, on 20 June 1982.[3][4][5] Her parents, Michael Middleton[6] and Carole (née Goldsmith),[7] were a flight dispatcher and flight attendant at British Airways, respectively; she is the eldest of their three children. In 1987, her mother founded Party Pieces, a privately held mail order company that sold party supplies and decorations, which collapsed into administration in 2023.[8][9]

By the early 20th century, the Middleton family had married into British aristocracy[10] and benefited financially from trust funds which they had established over a century ago.[2][11] Her Middleton relatives, including her great-grandparents Noël and Olive Middleton, played host to members of the British royal family in the 1920s through to the 1940s.[12] Her mother's family are descended from coal miners, and have been described as working-class.[13][14] She has a younger sister, Philippa, and a younger brother, James.[15]

The family moved from Bradfield Southend, Berkshire, to Amman, Jordan, in May 1984, where Catherine attended an English-language nursery school.[16][17][18][19] When her family returned to Berkshire in September 1986, she was enrolled aged four at St Andrew's School, a private school near Pangbourne in Berkshire. She boarded part-weekly at St Andrew's in her later years.[20] In 1995, her family moved to the village of Bucklebury[21][22] where she studied at Downe House School.[23] Middleton was a boarder at Marlborough College, a co-educational boarding school in Wiltshire,[24][25] where she showed talent in sports and was captain of the women's field hockey team.[26] She obtained three A-Levels in 2000, with an 'A' in mathematics, an 'A' in art, and a 'B' in English.[27]

Despite being offered a seat at the University of Edinburgh,[28] Middleton took a gap year, studying at the British Institute of Florence in Italy and travelling to Chile to participate in a Raleigh International programme.[29] She worked as a deckhand at the Port of Southampton in the summer preceding university.[30] She subsequently enrolled at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland, to study art history.

In November 2006, Middleton commenced part-time work for twelve months as an accessory buyer with the clothing chain Jigsaw.[36] In 2007, she curated a photography exhibition to mark the book launch of Time to Reflect, by Alistair Morrison, to raise funds for UNICEF.[37] In 2008, Middleton made several trips to Naomi's House Hospice, where she brought gifts and read to children.[38][39] Later that year, she organised a 1980s-themed roller disco fundraiser which raised £100,000, split between Oxford Children's Hospital, for the construction of Tom's Ward to treat pediatric cancer, and Place2Be, an organisation which provides mental health counselling to school children.[40] She also worked until January 2011 at the family business in catalogue design and production, marketing, and photography.[41][42] While working for the company, she launched the firm's junior brand for toddlers, and began working with the Starlight Children's Foundation, which helps terminally ill youth, providing party essentials for sick children.[43] Middleton also helped coordinate the Boodles Boxing Ball, which raised money for the charity.[44][45] Prior to her marriage, she lived in an apartment owned by her parents in Chelsea, London, with her sister.[46][47]

After her graduation, Middleton and her family were faced with intensive tabloid press scrutiny.[56][57][58] She was often photographed daily by the paparazzi outside her flat and work over the course of their relationship.[56][59][60] This prompted multiple warnings from her lawyers and the Palace.[59][60] She attended William's Passing Out Parade at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on 15 December 2006.[61][62] In April 2007, they ended their relationship.[63] She and her family attended the Concert for Diana in July 2007,[52] where she and William sat two rows apart.[64] It was subsequently reported that the couple had then reconciled.[65] On 17 May 2008, Middleton attended the wedding of William's cousin Peter Phillips to Autumn Kelly in William's stead, and met Queen Elizabeth II for the first time.[66][67]

In February 2022, Catherine made a surprise appearance on CBeebies Bedtime Stories, where she read The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson as part of the conclusion of Children's Mental Health Week.[287] In October 2022, to mark World Mental Health Day, she and William took over Newsbeat and interviewed four guests on topics related to mental health.[288] In the following year, the couple took part in a forum for young people in Birmingham, alongside BBC Radio 1 and a charity called The Mix, called Exploring our Emotional Worlds continuing their longstanding work to promote mental well-being.[289]

Early years and childhood development

During the initial years of her charity work, Catherine became interested in the connection between the first five years of childhood and conditions such as homelessness, mental health, and addiction in later life.[290] In March 2018, she hosted a symposium with the Royal Society of Medicine, focusing on children's health, and launched the Early Years Intervention Support initiative.[291] In May 2018, she established the Early Years Steering Group.[292][293] In January 2020, Catherine launched "5 Big Questions on the Under 5's", a nationwide survey on development during early years.[294] The survey was conducted by Ipsos MORI and contained "further qualitative and ethnographic research" on the early years.[295] It received over 500,000 responses.[296] The results of the survey were released in November 2020.[297] The findings outlined five key topics surrounding early childhood, including parental mental health and wider community health and support.[298][299] In July 2020, she supported and assisted in the development of BBC's "Tiny Happy People" initiative, providing free digital resources to parents with young children.[300] In August 2020, she headed a donation drive to benefit baby banks nationwide, including Little Village, which spurred over 10,000 donations from Marks & Spencer, Tesco, John Lewis & Partners, and Sainsbury's.[301][302] In June 2021, Catherine launched the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood to conduct work, research, and campaigns with other organisations on issues surrounding the early years.[303]

In February 2022, Catherine visited Denmark on behalf of the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.[304] She visited the University of Copenhagen and met officials from the Center for Early Intervention and Family Studies.[304] She visited Stenurten Forest School,[305] to learn about its approach to learning, which focuses on the students' social and emotional development rather than academic skills.[306] She also visited Lego Foundation PlayLab at University College Copenhagen.[165] In June 2022, Catherine hosted her first roundtable discussion with politicians on early childhood development.[307] In January 2023, Catherine launched the Shaping Us initiative through the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, a long-term campaign aimed at raising awareness about early childhood development and its importance.[308] In November 2023, she delivered the keynote speech at The Shaping Us National Symposium held at The Design Museum in London.[309]

Public image and style

Catherine (holding Prince Louis at right) wore dresses designed by Alexander McQueen at Trooping the Colour in 2013 and 2019 respectively.

Catherine, prominent for her fashion style, has been placed on numerous "best dressed" lists.[310][311] The "Kate Middleton effect" is the trend that she is reported to have had in sales of particular products and brands.[312][313]

In 2011, 2012 and 2013, Catherine was listed as one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World.[314] In 2014, she was lauded as a British cultural icon, with young adults from abroad naming her among a group of people who they most associated with UK culture.[315][316] Catherine was also named in the International Best Dressed Hall of Fame List in the same year.[317] In December 2022, she was found to be the second most liked member of the royal family by statistics and polling company YouGov,[318] while an Ipsos favourability poll in April 2023 suggested that she was the most liked member.[319] In March 2023, The Independent included Catherine on its "Influence List 2023".[320]

Speaking to The Times on Catherine's 40th birthday, her aides stated that she does not accept "advice on a PR basis" and will "never do something because she thinks the media will like it."[321] Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Catherine and William's former private secretary, stated that "she has that almost old-fashioned, Queen Mother attitude to drama – she just doesn't do it."[321]

Privacy and the media

The death of Diana, Princess of Wales, while being chased by paparazzi in August 1997[322] has since influenced her elder son, William's, attitude towards the media.[323] William and Catherine have requested that, when off-duty, their privacy should be respected.[323]

After her graduation from university, Middleton was faced with widespread press attention and was often photographed by the paparazzi.[56][58] On 17 October 2005, she complained through her lawyer about harassment from the media, stating she had done nothing significant to warrant publicity and complained that photographers were permanently stationed outside her flat.[324][325] Former royal press secretary Dickie Arbiter stated that her treatment by the press drew parallels to the tumultuous experience of Diana in the early years of her marriage.[326] Between 2005 and 2006, Middleton's phone was hacked 155 times according to former News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman, who was involved in a phone hacking scandal by the newspaper that targeted the royal family.[327] In 2005, after Middleton was chased by the paparazzi on her way to an interview, William consulted her and her father and penned a legal letter to newspapers requesting that they respect her privacy.[328] In April 2006, her lawyers issued new warnings to the Daily Mail, the Daily Star and The Sun and the picture agencies Big Pictures and Matrix after they published photographs of Middleton on a bus during a shopping trip.[329]

Media attention increased around the time of Middleton's 25th birthday in January 2007, where twenty photographers and five television crews photographed her leaving for work.[330][324] Warnings were issued by Prince Charles, Prince William, and Middleton's lawyers, who threatened legal action.[331] Two newspaper groups, News International, which publishes The Times and The Sun; and the Guardian Media Group, publishers of The Guardian, decided to refrain from publishing paparazzi pictures of Middleton, but continued to use photographs of her at public events.[332][333] In March 2007, her lawyers filed a formal complaint to the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) over a photograph published on the Daily Mirror that was taken as a result of harassment.[334] In April 2007, Middleton reached a settlement with the Daily Mirror, which was followed by a warning by the PCC over her treatment by the press.[335] In July 2007, MPs on the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee stated in a report on press regulation that Middleton was the victim of "clear and persistent harassment" by the paparazzi and criticised the lack of intervention by the PCC, who circulated a letter from her solicitors on the issue of press harassment but said they were not directly asked by her lawyers to act.[335][336]

In 2010, Middleton pursued an invasion of privacy claim against two agencies and photographer Niraj Tanna, who took photographs of her playing tennis over Christmas 2009 while on holiday in Cornwall.[337][338] She was awarded £5,000 damages, legal costs, and an apology from the photographic press agency Rex Features Ltd[339][340] and announced that the money would be donated to charity.[339] In 2011, close associates of Jonathan Rees, a private investigator connected to the News International phone hacking scandal, stated that he had targeted Catherine during her period as William's girlfriend.[341]

In May 2011, the Middleton family complained to the PCC after photographs of Catherine, her sister, and their mother in bikinis while on holiday in 2006 on board a yacht off Ibiza were published in the Mail on Sunday, Daily Mail, News of the World, and Daily Mirror.[342] One of the photographs showed Catherine's sister topless, which prompted the family to complain about newspapers breaching the editors' code of practice by invading their privacy.[342] In September 2011, Daily Mail, the Mail on Sunday, and Daily Mirror all agreed to have the images removed from their website and never publish them again following a deal negotiated by the PCC.[343]

In September 2012, the French edition of Closer and the Italian gossip magazine Chi published photographs of Catherine sunbathing topless while on holiday at the Château d'Autet[323] (a private château on a 260-hectare estate 71 km[344] north of Aix-en-Provence). Analysts from The Times believed the photographs were taken from the D22 (Vaucluse) road half a kilometre from the pool—a distance that would require an 800-mm or a 1000-mm lens.[345] On 17 September 2012, William and Catherine filed a criminal complaint with the French prosecution department and launched a claim for civil damages at the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Nanterre.[346] The following day the courts granted an injunction against Closer, prohibiting further publication of the photographs and announced a criminal investigation would be initiated.[347] Under French law, punitive damages cannot be awarded[348] but intrusions of privacy are a criminal offence carrying a maximum jail sentence of one year and a fine of up to €45,000 for individuals and €225,000 for companies.[349][350] In September 2017, Closer was fined €100,000 and its editor Laurence Pieau and owner Ernesto Mauri were each fined €45,000.[351]

In December 2012, two Australian radio hosts, Michael Christian and Mel Greig, called King Edward VII's Hospital where Catherine was an in-patient for hyperemesis gravidarum. Pretending to be Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles, Greig and Christian spoke to a nurse on Catherine's ward, enquiring about her condition. Following a hospital inquiry and a public backlash against the hoax, Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse who put the call through to the ward, committed suicide.[352] The radio hosts subsequently apologised for their actions.[353]

In February 2013, Chi published the first photos of Catherine's exposed baby bump, taken during her vacation on the private island of Mustique. The British press refused to publish the paparazzi shots.[354] While Catherine was visiting the Blue Mountains in Sydney, a picture was taken of her bare bottom as her dress blew up. Many newspapers outside the United Kingdom published the picture.[355] In October 2014, Catherine and William sent a legal letter to a freelance photographer who had put their son George and his nanny "under surveillance", asking the individual to stop "harassing and following" them.[356] On 14 August 2015, Kensington Palace published a letter detailing what it stated were the "dangerous" and invasive efforts of the media to get paparazzi pictures of Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Jason Knauf, communications secretary to the Cambridges, wrote the letter to media standards organisations in various countries.[357]

In March 2019, the royal family introduced new rules for followers commenting on its official social media accounts in response to the online abuse aimed at Catherine and her sister-in-law Meghan.[358] In May 2020, Kensington Palace said that the cover story of Tatler magazine titled "Catherine the Great" contained "a swathe of inaccuracies and false misrepresentations". Despite the palace's statement that most of the material was not given to them before publication, the magazine's editor-in-chief announced that he would stand behind the story as the palace had been aware of it for months.[359] In September 2020, after pressure from the couple's lawyers, the magazine removed remarks on Catherine's family and other similar claims from the online version of the story.[360]

Titles, styles, honours, and arms

Titles and styles

Upon her marriage in April 2011, Catherine gained the style Royal Highness and the titles Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, and Baroness Carrickfergus.[361] She was normally known as "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge" except in Scotland, where she was instead called "Her Royal Highness The Countess of Strathearn".[362]

On her father-in-law's accession on 8 September 2022, Catherine also became Duchess of Cornwall and Duchess of Rothesay.[363][364] Thus, she briefly held the title "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge".[365] On 9 September 2022, the King announced William's appointment as Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester, thereby making Catherine Princess of Wales and Countess of Chester. She has since been known as "Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales", and as "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Rothesay" in Scotland.[366][167]

Honours

Catherine is a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order,[367] and a recipient of the Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II.[368]

Arms

Coat of arms of Catherine, Princess of Wales
Notes
Catherine bears the arms of her husband impaled with those of her father. The family arms were granted to her father by the College of Arms on 19 April 2011. Thomas Woodcock, then Garter King of Arms, the senior officer of the College of Arms, helped the family with the design.[369] Meanwhile, the princess's entire heraldic achievement was approved by royal warrant by Queen Elizabeth II after the princess's marriage. The newly-approved arms included the addition of a new element specifically for the princess: a hind (female deer) supporter.[370]
Escutcheon
Quarterly first and fourth Gules three lions passant guardant in pale Or armed and langed Azure second Or a lion rampant Gules armed and langued Azure within a double tressure flory counterflory third Azure a harp Or stringed Argent, with over all a label of three points Argent, and on an inescutcheon ensigned by the coronet of the heir-apparent, quarterly, Or and Gules four lions passant guardant counterchanged, ensigned by the coronet of William's degree;[371] Impaled with a shield per pale Azure and Gules, a chevron Or, cotised Argent, between three acorns slipped and leaved Or.[369]
Symbolism
The dividing line (between two colours) down the centre is a canting of the name 'Middle-ton'. The acorns (from the oak tree) are a traditional symbol of England and a feature of west Berkshire, where the family lived. The three acorns also denote the family's three children. The gold chevron in the centre of the arms is an allusion to Carole Middleton's maiden name of Goldsmith. The two white chevronels (narrow chevrons above and below the gold chevron) symbolise peaks and mountains, and the family's love of the Lake District and skiing.[369] The white hind supporter echoes earlier royal heraldry, such as the white hind heraldic badge of Joan of Kent, Princess of Wales.[370]
Previous versions
Catherine's coat of arms prior to her marriage depicted the shield from her father Michael Middleton's coat of arms shaped into a lozenge suspended from a ribbon symbolising her unmarried state. Her sister, Philippa, also used the same coat of arms prior to her 2017 marriage. Her brother, James, will in due course inherit his father's coat of arms.[369] The arms granted to her following her marriage were depicted without the Royal Victorian Order circlet, to which she was appointed in 2019.
Other versions
In February 2013, Queen Elizabeth II approved the conjugal arms of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, consisting of their individual arms displayed side by side, beneath a helm and coronet denoting the duke's status as grandson of the sovereign. These were released in September of the same year.[372]

Ancestry

Four successive generations of Catherine's ancestors had lived at Potternewton Hall Estate, near Leeds.

The Princess of Wales's father is Michael Francis Middleton, son of Captain Peter Francis Middleton, who, along with their forebears, were from Leeds, West Yorkshire.[373] Robert Lacey describes Michael Middleton's family as having aristocratic ties, with Florence Kitson, Lady Airedale being his distant relative.[374] Catherine's paternal great-grandmother Olive Christiana Middleton (née Lupton) and her cousin the Baroness von Schunck (née Kate Lupton) were members of the Lupton family who are described as landed gentry and as such, were invited to the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary in 1911.[375][376] Four successive generations of Catherine's ancestors had lived at Potternewton Hall Estate, the family seat, including Catherine's great-grandmother Olive Middleton; her father, politician Francis Martineau Lupton; his mother, educator Frances Elizabeth Lupton; and her father, epidemiologist and surgeon Thomas Michael Greenhow.[377][378][379]

Catherine's maternal ancestors, the Harrisons, were working-class labourers and miners from Sunderland and County Durham.[380] Ancestors through her maternal line include Sir Thomas Conyers, 9th Baronet, who was a descendant of Edward IV through his illegitimate daughter Elizabeth Plantagenet.[381] Other paternal ancestors include Sir Thomas Fairfax and his wife Anne Gascoigne, who was a descendant of Edward III.[382][383]
