Kate Middleton - Biography

In a nutshell

Stop, it's alright. I know you're screaming at your computer; 'She's not a celebrity! She's NOT A CELEBRITY!! Have we all gone mad?!'

Well, quite. But lets find out a little more about this person anyway. What's the harm?

Catherine Elizabeth Middleton is Prince William's girlfriend and we've been informed (albeit by our bosses) that YOU, the great TalkTalk customer, wants to know more about her, so here we go.

The couple met at the University of St Andrews in 2001 and started dating. We obviously don't know the exact details surrounding their meeting but it was probably an 'eyes across a huge regal dinner table while chatting about polo' sort of thing.

The paparazzi love to take photos, and especially when you're going out with Prince William. This lead to a complaint in 2005, through her lawyer, that she was being harassed.

In 2006 Kate started to receive 24-hour security from the 'Royal and Diplomatic Protection Department', which we've never heard of but it sounds pretty exciting. However, as she wasn't engaged to William you can't really justify such an expense. So two leading newspaper groups decided not to publish any pap shots of her.

Things obviously hadn't worked out for the pair and a tabloid newspaper declared a world exclusive that they'd decided to call it a day in April 2007.

But wait! They've since been pictured together and may be giving it another go. Of course this is vitally important news and we'll try to keep this page BANG-UP-TO-DATE with all of the latest...
