Kate Middleton Facts

In honor of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge's 40th birthday which was a few weeks ago, I am sharing some less known facts about her.


Kate Middleton modeled for catalogs by Party Pieces, which is her parents party supplies company. 

Kate is a huge fan of TV shows including Homeland, Downtown Abbey and Game of Thrones.

Royals don't take paid jobs but one day in 2016, the Duchess worked as the editor of Huffington Post UK for a day. She edited the website and also published her own blog post titled, "Let's Make a Real Difference for an Entire Generation of Young Children."

Just like the rest of us, Kate had crushes when she was a teenager. In her engagement interview in 2010, she revealed that she had a poster of a Levi's model on her bedroom wall.

Kate dated Prince William for five years before being officially introduced to the Queen. William introduced his girlfriend to his grandmother in 2003 at his 21st birthday party. 

When Kate was a child, she actually met Prince William in passing, Her school welcomed William's school for a hockey game. He was nine-years-old at the time and when he arrived, all the girls, including Kate, were eager to catch a glimpse of him.

She sent an email to her friends asking them to call her Catherine. 

Before she became a royal, she had some interesting nicknames. Her nickname at school was Squeak and her sister Pippa was called Pip. Those nicknamses were inspired by the school guinea pigs. 

Kate is distantly related to the first president of the United States, George Washington. They are eighth cousins. 

At 13 years of age, she was in a school play that predicted her future. Kate played a young woman  visiting a fortune teller who said, "Soon you will meet a handsome man, a rich gentleman who will fall in love and marry you and whisk you off to London. The fortune teller told Kate's character that the man is named WIlliam. 

The Duchess of Cambridge likes red wine.

After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
