Prince William And Kate Middleton

Middleton grew up in Berkshire and after attending Marlborough College, went to the University of St Andrews. She met Prince William, also studying there, in 2001. They soon started a relationship, media attention quickly followed, and in 2005 her lawyer complained of harassment. In April 2007, the press reported that William and Middleton had split up. They continued to be friends, and later in 2007 they reunited. Since then, Middleton has attended many high-profile royal events. She has been admired for her fashion sense and has been placed on numerous "best dressed" lists.
Early life
Middleton was born in Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, the first of three children of Carole Elizabeth (née Goldsmith; born 31 January 1955) – an air hostess – and Michael Francis Middleton (born 23 June 1949), a flight dispatcher for British Airways. Michael and Carole had married on 21 June 1980 at the parish church in Dorney, Buckinghamshire. Middleton is of English descent with distant Scottish and French ancestry. Middleton's paternal family came from Leeds, West Yorkshire, and her great-grandmother Olivia was a member of the Lupton family, who were active for generations in Leeds in commercial and municipal work. Carole Middleton's maternal family, the Harrisons, were working class labourers and miners from County Durham. Middleton has two siblings, Philippa "Pippa" Charlotte and James William. Pippa Middleton, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, has received press coverage since her sister became famous, with focus on her relationships and lifestyle.
