Biography

Kate Middleton, aka Catherine Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus, or simply the wife of Crown Prince William of Great Britain.

For millions of people on earth, a woman is the living embodiment of the fairy tale about Cinderella, an icon of style, an example of restraint and, to some extent, self-sacrifice. In the latter case, this refers to the desire of Kate, who did not know so many restrictions and responsibilities before marriage, to comply with the rules for which the royal court cares so much.

The mystery behind Kate Middleton's desire to lose weight

Kate Middleton, as a true Englishwoman, was characterized by a thin physique, however, she could not be called thin.

Therefore, in anticipation of the wedding ceremony with William, Kate decided to “safeguard herself” by turning to a proven diet that her mother had already been practicing for a long time.

What exactly caused Kate to do this remains a mystery to this day.

The most common opinion is that the goal of all Kate’s efforts was to form an ideal figure for the specific model of wedding dress she had chosen.

However, regardless of the true goal, Kate's rapid weight loss process soon brought news that the prince's bride was suffering from some serious illness.

Childhood and youth

Kate Middleton was born on January 9, 1982 in Reading. Father Michael Francis Middleton was a pilot for the world famous British Airways. Kate's mother Carol Elizabeth also worked there as a flight attendant. The parents got married in June 1980. The family also grew up with Kate's younger sister Philippa Charlotte (affectionately called Pippa) and brother James William.

Kate Middleton in her youth
Two years after Kate’s birth, her father was transferred to work in the capital of Jordan, where the Middletons lived until 1986. Here the girl attended the only kindergarten for children of foreigners, and after returning to England she continued her studies at St. Andrew School, from which she successfully graduated in 1995.

Despite the fact that Kate's ancestors are from the working class, her parents earned enough that the girl did not need anything as a child. She could travel, study at the best colleges and institutes, and devote time to charity. Kate Middleton was not much inferior in education and upbringing to a real aristocrat.

Then she studied at Marlborough College, where the future Duchess of Cambridge paid a lot of attention to sports. Kate enjoyed hockey, netball, tennis and athletics. At college, Middleton graduated from the Duke of Edinburgh's program, and of the highest level.

Kate Middleton with William before the wedding
In her youth, Kate dreamed of traveling to other countries, so she took a year off from studying, traveled a lot, participated in an exchange program in Italy and in a charity program in Chile. Even in her youth, she interacted with charitable foundations, which was further developed when Middleton entered high society.

In 2001, Kate entered the University of St. Andrews. It was at this prestigious educational institution that she met Prince William, not knowing how the meeting of fellow students would affect her biography. Middleton received her bachelor's degree in art history. At the beginning of her studies she attended this subject with the prince; later William changed his specialty to geography. The young man wanted to drop out after the 1st year, and, according to rumors, it was Kate who dissuaded him from this.

Minus 10 kg for the sake of the wedding

The girl lost weight using the Pierre Dukan - this is a low-carbohydrate diet.
The mother of the future duchess also adhered to this. Kate walked down the aisle weighing 55 kg. Related article Happy New Prince! Kate Middleton became a mother of many children

After her first birth, the 31-year-old duchess returned to her shape within 5 weeks. “I simply refused the services of nannies and am taking care of the child myself,” Prince William’s wife explained then.

Fitness expert Louise Parker , who works with the Duchess, explained that it’s not just that: after giving birth you don’t need to give up sports, you should focus on important exercises that support the back muscles and cardiosculpting, that is, remove the strength part of the workout in favor of active cardio.

Parker training should be done 6 times a week from the second week after childbirth without complications.

Kate met the heir to the throne at the university and there she faced strong competition for the prince’s heart. William at this time became interested in two girls who were studying at the Faculty of English Literature. However, he quickly forgot about his former girlfriends when, according to rumors, he saw a gray-eyed brunette in a transparent dress at a charity show. Underneath he was wearing only a miniature swimsuit. Since 2002, young people began to live together, renting a country house.

The novel developed according to unknown laws, although the students tried their best to hide it. Even then, Kate and William could not live without each other; they even often spent holidays together. The connection became stronger, which is not surprising, because they lived under the same roof and studied at the same university. At the end of 2004, it became impossible to conceal the relationship, and the press service of the royal family was forced to admit that the prince was really dating Kate, a girl from a simple family who did not have a noble origin.

The news shocked the public, and many began to compare Kate Middleton to the fairy-tale Cinderella. They began to take an especially active interest in the girl’s life; her peers were curious about what body parameters she should have in order to attract the attention of the prince. By the way, the duchess’s height and weight are quite average - 175 cm and 60 kg.

The wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William
After graduating from university in 2005, Kate was invited to work in a chain of clothing stores, and William, according to royal tradition, entered the Sandhurst Military Academy. At the end of 2006, graduation took place at the academy where the prince studied. The ceremony was attended by the entire royal family, including Queen Elizabeth II, as well as Kate and her relatives.

Kate began to appear more and more often in public with the prince, not only in everyday life, but also at official events.

In 2007, they began to say that Kate and William had broken off their relationship. The reasons for the separation were the beautiful Isabella Calthorpe and William's infidelities. The prince allegedly proposed to her, but the girl refused, citing the fact that she did not tolerate royal ceremonies.

However, as American journalist Christopher Andersen wrote in his book “Game of the Crown,” Camilla Parker-Bowles, the wife of Prince Charles, drove a wedge between the lovers.

Allegedly, the Duchess of Cornwall disliked Kate because there was such a fuss around the affair with William, while Camilla had been trying to win the sympathy of the British for many years.

Andersen also argued that Middleton’s acquaintance with the prince was not an accident, but a calculation orchestrated by the girl’s mother. Kate allegedly did not intend to study at the University of St. Andrews and gave in to Carol's arguments that only people of royal blood can be found there.

Be that as it may, at the end of 2007, the relationship between Kate and William was restored, and on November 16, 2010 they announced their engagement. Young people in Kenya got engaged.

Before William, Middleton dated other young people; at least, several names of her former lovers are mentioned in the press. Willem Marx became the first love of the future duchess, the couple's relationship lasted a year. It is known that they managed to maintain friendly relations. And in 2014, news appeared on the Internet that Willem got married.

Another ex-man of Kate is Rupert Finch, they met at the University of St. Andrews, at that time the guy was already finishing his studies, and Middleton was a 1st year student. Their relationship also only lasted for a year. Now he is a famous lawyer, married to Natasha Isaacs. Kate was a guest at the couple's wedding.

At the time of her separation from William, Kate began an affair with Henry Ropner, but it lasted even shorter than the others, as Middleton resumed her relationship with the prince.

Raw food day

Kate does not follow any diet blindly; she studies the rules of a balanced diet and cooks herself. As Prince William jokes, after Kate went to study at a fashionable British school and began to put into practice her knowledge about proper nutrition, he also lost weight.

After her second birth, Kate became interested in a raw food diet: she set aside one day on which she took only non-thermally processed food. Her favorite dishes include tomato gazpacho soup and Israeli tabbouleh salad.

Elite. What is the secret of royal beauty?

Kensington Palace chef Caroline Robb says that Kate's favorite breakfast has long been a green smoothie (although in the classic version of the low-carb Dukan diet, breakfast should be protein). At the duchess's request, the chef makes smaller copies of all the desserts served at the royal table: you don't have to give up sweets entirely, but you can't eat too much! The princess is also partial to Indian cuisine; her favorite seasoning is curry. But Kate has never been a vegetarian: she loves fish and chicken.

After her third birth, it was easiest for Kate to lose weight: the princess gained very little during pregnancy and did not leave training for a day. If earlier in pregnancy she only did yoga and Pilates, then during her last pregnancy she dared not to give up full-fledged training with strength elements.

Duchess of Cambridge

For the wedding, the prince presented his beloved with a famous ring with a sapphire and 14 diamonds, which previously belonged to Princess Diana. The wedding ring is simple, made of yellow gold, but the metal deposit is located in Wales and belongs to the Windsors. Shortly before the wedding, William also gave earrings that matched the main decoration in style. The jewelry set has firmly taken its place in Kate's jewelry box, becoming one of her favorites.

The wedding was celebrated on April 29, 2011 in London. The Queen, a couple of hours before the ceremony, gave William the titles Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron of Carrickfergus. Following their marriage, Kate became Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. The girl not only broke the stereotype that a king, even a future one, cannot marry for love, but also set a kind of record: she became the “oldest” bride of a prince in the entire British history: at the time of marriage she was 29 years old.

The future duchess did not show her wedding dress to the public until the last day. She appeared in front of Westminster Abbey in a wedding dress with a classic silhouette. White and ivory satin were used to sew it. The look was completed by an embroidered corset with a low cut front and delicate lace covering Kate's hands.

The designers decorated the skirt of the dress with lace appliqués in the form of floral symbols of Great Britain. Middleton borrowed her tiara from the Queen. The dress was designed by fashion designer Sarah Burton, creative director of the Alexander Mcqueen fashion house.

The celebration turned out to be profitable for London. Those who wanted to see the newlyweds in person spent about £100 million on accommodation, food and souvenirs. In the wake of the excitement, a film was made dedicated to the relationship and wedding of the crowned heads.

Kate's sister's wedding in 2021 was no less important for the Duchess than her own wedding. People were gossiping around that it would be difficult for a woman to build a lynching life, since “the princes are over,” and the title of Middleton Sr. automatically raises the bar for her closest relative.

It came as a big surprise to everyone in 2021 when former racing driver and now businessman James Matthews proposed to Philippa. Preparations for the celebration took about six months. Kate looked amazing at Pippa's wedding. The woman put on a fitted cream-colored dress and decorated her head with a hat in her usual style.

In addition to the royal family, the event was attended by famous guests - stars of modern show business, athletes, racers, models and other celebrities. However, Kate's attention was focused on the children, who, along with other kids, played the roles of pages and bridesmaids.

A little about the history of modern Cinderella

Kate's story is worthy of making a beautiful film or writing a romance novel. After all, this girl does not have any significant regalia to count on a place in the royal family, but nevertheless she:

in 2001 she entered the University of St. Andrews, where her future husband studied;
in 2003 she began a romantic relationship with Harry, although before that they were just friends;
in 2007 she was able to keep the couple from breaking up.

Kate Middleton in her youth
In 2010, the couple announced their engagement, although “evil tongues” claimed that Kate would never see it. And on April 29, 2011, her wedding to Prince Harry took place, the ceremony was watched by an incredible number of spectators - there were 10 million television viewers alone, and the number of visitors to the official channel of the royal family reached 70 million.

Next, Kate got used to the role of a wife, and she succeeded brilliantly - she gave birth to 2 children for the prince, accompanies him on trips, always looks impeccable and strictly respects the laws and rules of the royal family.

We recommend reading about Skulkina’s diet. From the article you will learn about how Ekaterina Skulkina lost weight, the general principles of her diet, the menu for the week, and the results of losing weight. And here is more information about Jasmine’s diet.

Proper/balanced nutrition according to the Dukan diet, regular physical activity, and raw food days help maintain Kate Middleton's ideal figure parameters. Losing weight with this regime is never quick, but the lost kilograms do not return - the duchess absolutely does not disdain ceremonial/festive feasts and even allows herself fried, fatty foods.

Children

On July 22, 2013, the new heir to the English throne, the first-born of the royal couple, George Alexander Louis, was born. On October 23 of the same year, the boy's christening took place. 7 people immediately became godfathers of the future monarch.

Kate Middleton and Prince William with children
In 2014, observant fans of the Duchess suggested that Kate was pregnant for the second time. An official representative of the palace confirmed this rumor, and in May 2015, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born.

Two children did not make the royal parents homebodies. In 2016, the whole family went on an official visit to Canada. The prince, his wife and children had to attend more than 30 meetings and events. In Canada, the famous couple spent time not only with politicians and stars, but also visited universities and small sporting events and holidays.

The fact that the Duchess is expecting her third child became known in the fall of 2021. And in the spring of 2018, the family was replenished with a new member: Prince Louis (full name Louis Arthur Charles of Cambridge) was born weighing 3.8 kg. He was 5th in line to the throne. The birth took place in the English clinic of St. Mary's.

In the summer of 2021, news appeared in the British media that Kate was pregnant with her fourth heir. The paparazzi made such conclusions by looking at the woman’s slightly rounded belly. And although representatives of the royal palace did not make official statements about Kate's expectation of a fourth child, rumors spread at the speed of light.

From that moment on, observers in every photo tried to see Middleton's weight gain and her plump figure. The public became even more worried after Kate and William’s daughter went to school and, according to rumors, told her classmates about her mother’s new pregnancy.

In December 2021, William and Kate's children attended the Christmas service for the first time, although only George and Charlotte went with the couple to honor the tradition. On the way, they greeted people who had gathered near the church to see with their own eyes the representatives of the royal family.

Kate's first exit after the birth of Prince Louis was the wedding of Harry and Meghan Markle. British media wrote that, speaking about her diet, Kate noticed that she was less susceptible to the desire to quickly lose as many kilograms as possible, and was thinking more and more about the healthy condition of her skin, about ensuring that the load on the entire body was even.

“Look at the photographs of Kate taken a few hours after giving birth (with the third baby, the duchess did not stay in the hospital and immediately went home. - Ed.), - commented Louise Parker. - She already looks amazing! And the secret is her healthy lifestyle.”

Kate's new diet has no place for ultra-protein experiments. She eats a lot of fresh vegetables and salads, legumes (she loves hummus!), only has 2 snacks a day (no cookies!) and drinks a lot of water.

After the third birth, data leaked to the press about a special diet for pregnant women, which the Duchess followed all three times. The main dishes during pregnancy are avocado, fresh berries (Kate is a fan of blueberries - Ed.), long-cooked oatmeal and fresh salads. However, nothing human is alien to Kate: she coped with the terrible toxicosis that tormented her until the 5th month of all three pregnancies by devouring ginger cookies and strong tea with honey and ginger.

Kate's recovery algorithm:

You need to actively engage in sports in everyday life: Kate always practices the CrossFit complex from trainer Greg Glassman. The set of exercises includes elements of various sports: weightlifting, running, squats and push-ups.

You can't stop playing sports during pregnancy (Kate swam, did Pilates and prenatal yoga).

You need to start working out with a trainer a week after giving birth (you can’t do this so quickly without a trainer! Only he can control the load).

It is important to breastfeed (up to 500 kcal per day is consumed).

Scandals and rumors

In 2017, the royal family surprised their subjects. In January, Kate turned 35 years old, and the whole country was waiting for news about a beautiful and solemn event. But the birthday celebration did not take place; her husband forbade her to organize a noisy party. Prince William himself was on air ambulance duty that day.

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle
This behavior of the husband is explained by the fact that some of the British recognized the Duke, Duchess and Prince Harry as the laziest residents of the state. The Crown Prince is upset by the title and is now struggling to correct his unflattering image.

The relationship between Middleton and Meghan Markle is attracting attention from the British. Women were especially discussed and compared after Kate attended the wedding of Megan and Prince Harry, because this was her first official appearance after the birth of her third child.

There is an unspoken feud between the royals, waged not by Middleton and Markle, but by their supporters. After the announcement of Megan and Harry's engagement, a kind of competition began on the Internet to see which of the women was more elegant and confident. The joint appearance of the duchesses in public provides food for publications by fashion experts and behavioral psychologists. The latter noticed that Meghan's acting background affects her gestures and manner of presenting herself, and Kate demonstrates that the royal person does not need to attract attention - such people will be heard.

Kate Middleton and her outfits
According to insider information cited by the media, the “popularity contest” is causing a lot of friction in the palace. The next reason for the clashes was the place of residence provided by Elizabeth II to her grandson Harry. It’s as if the apartment has one more room than Prince William’s, and this outrages Middleton. It is still unknown how the duchesses perceived the rules of etiquette, according to which Meghan is obliged to curtsey to Kate.

Another heated discussion was caused by a photo posted on Instagram in the summer of 2021. It shows Kate and her husband and Meghan and Harry walking next to each other. Everything would be fine, but a photo with congratulations was published on Markle’s birthday. In the photo, Meghan is dressed in a black outfit, while Middleton looks radiant, wearing a bright red coat, which she is clearly all for.

The account's followers were outraged that it was Megan's holiday and Kate's photo was in the center. According to followers, it is correct to post a photo of Markle alone on such a day.

There are rumors that a major scandal between women occurred even before the wedding of Megan and Harry. Allegedly, Markle allowed herself to rudely reprimand a person from Middleton’s team. Kate didn’t take long to figure it out, but simply slapped Megan in the face. This news was immediately picked up by the world media, so representatives of Buckingham Palace had to issue a response statement that this had never happened.

After this situation, the media calmed down for a while, but before Megan’s wedding, news about the duchesses’ quarrel again appeared in the tabloids. Allegedly, this time the conflict occurred over the outfit chosen for little Charlotte for the ceremony, which Megan did not like.

Kate Middleton Diet Stages

When a girl gains weight, she loses weight using the Dukan diet. The nutrition system was developed by a French nutritionist and includes 4 stages:

Attack. Only proteins remain in the diet.
Cruise. Carbohydrates are added to proteins.
Consolidation. Intensive weight loss is underway.
Stabilization – removal of dietary restrictions.

Attack

This stage includes eating only protein foods without volume restrictions. The body makes up for the lack of carbohydrates by breaking down fats. The stage lasts 2-7 days, sugar is strictly excluded. It allows:

boiled turkey or chicken meat;
calf liver;
steamed or grilled fish;
eggs;
low-fat fermented milk products;
spices, vinegar, seasonings, onions, garlic, a little salt;
oat bran (daily norm - 1.5 tbsp.).

Cruise

Royal nutrition at this stage includes vegetables and protein foods, they alternate. The duration of the Cruise depends on how many extra pounds have accumulated. For example, to lose 2 kg the stage will last 2 weeks. Every day you need to eat 2 tbsp. l. oat bran. Rice and cereals are prohibited. Allowed products:

any baked, boiled or raw vegetables, except avocados, potatoes, lentils, beans, peas;
spices, adjika, hot peppers, gherkins, garlic, ketchup;
milk;
protein products from the first phase.

Consolidation

At this stage, the Cambridge diet includes a small amount of sweets, cereals, and cheese. For every kilogram lost, there are 10 days of consolidation. This allows you not to lose the result. The diet includes:

products from stages 1 and 2;
one serving of fruit daily, except bananas, cherries, grapes;
2 slices of bread, 40 g of cheese per day;
potatoes, rice, maize, beans, peas and pasta (allowed to eat twice a week).

Stabilization

daily 20-minute walk in the fresh air;
protein fasting day once a week;
daily use 3 tbsp. l. bran in any dishes (according to reviews, they dull the feeling of hunger);
drinking 1.5 liters of mineral water without gas.

Style and looks

Middleton did not study the secrets of caring for her appearance and did not attend courses on selecting clothes, but her appearance was not satisfactory, and she soon received the title of style icon. “Cinderella” managed to look sophisticated in a dress, a coat, jeans, and even a Russian fur hat. For this, Kate received another nickname: English Rose.

A distinctive touch to Middleton's image at court were hats, spectacular and bright, in retro style or created by the imagination of modern designers. The British Headwear Association included the wife of the heir to the throne in a kind of hall of fame for fans of these headwear.

Kate Middleton at the BAFTA Awards in an old dress
The Duchess, as fashion observers have noticed, chooses brands John Boyd, Lock&Co, Philip Treacy and Jane Taylor. Photos of Kate's outfits appear after every event with her participation and set the tone for the stylish life of not only England, but the whole world. The hairstyle is copied by visitors to beauty salons and beauty bloggers.

The chosen outfits often let Middleton down. A woman likes to wear flared skirts and dresses that are just above the knees. Those who carefully follow Kate’s life and look at her photographs on the Internet have counted 10 cases when the wind lifted her skirt so much that the Duchess sometimes did not have time to cover the most curious parts of her body.

The paparazzi never tire of following Kate during her vacation in the hope of capturing a photo of the Duchess in a swimsuit, and many succeeded. Judging by the photographs, the Duchess prefers separate models. Knowing the assertiveness of journalists, Middleton does not allow himself to sunbathe topless, although he rests away from prying eyes.

Kate's outfits during her visit to Pakistan deserve special attention. Her October 2021 trip was of an official nature, the woman carefully prepared, since the couple’s plans included attending events in many cities of the state.

A post shared by Kate Middleton (@katemiddletonphotos) on Jan 28, 2021 at 5:04am PST

Taking into account the religious canons and traditions of Pakistan, the Duchess abandoned short dresses, and instead took national suits and floor-length dresses. During her 5 days there, Kate managed to change more than a dozen outfits. Most of all, the British were delighted with the long Catherine Walker dress, which along its entire length changes color from white-blue to bright azure, and underneath the bottom of matching trousers is visible. For decoration that day, the Duchess chose pearl earrings in a classic style.

The blue tunic with trousers of the same shade from Maheen Khan caused no less delight. This time she chose earrings from Zeen, a famous Pakistani jewelry brand. And at the gala reception she appeared in an emerald Jenny Packham dress and golden sandals.

If we talk about Kate's hair, it is worth noting that more often the woman prefers to leave it loose, but when it comes to official receptions and appearances, Middleton leaves the right of choice to her team in this matter. Stylists around the world classify Middleton's color type as “cool summer,” which means fair skin, dark brown hair and green-brown eyes.

Depending on the outfit and headdress, Kate's hair can be tied up in an even or asymmetrical bun, in a Greek bun, assembled from several braids, or decorated with pearl hairpins. On days when the Duchess appears with her hair down, it is usually slightly curled at the ends, or some of the curls are pulled back with bobby pins.

The Duchess does not like bright makeup, but she does not refuse the opportunity to highlight her eyes with a black pencil or eyeliner. She uses them with any shadows, and if she is going out for an evening out, sometimes she also lines the lower eyelid. This makes the eyes appear even larger and brighter. Light foundation and blush help give Kate's skin freshness; the duchess also has lipsticks in her cosmetic bag; Middleton often uses barely noticeable light colors.

Although Kate prefers naturalness, she does not appear in public without makeup.

Carbohydrate deficiency

The biography of Kate Middleton, whose height, weight, hair and eye color are known to, perhaps, almost every person on the planet, most likely contains a decently sized section called “getting in shape.”

Before the wedding, Kate managed to lose quite a lot of weight, and it was probably thanks to the low-carb diet, which is very popular today, that she was able to achieve such an excellent result.

For the first 5 days, the diet consists mainly of protein foods, its consumption is not limited. Dietary meat, fish, low-fat cottage cheese, eggs, kefir, milk are allowed (if there are no allergies). Reduce the amount of carbohydrates per day to 50 g, since the body will experience a lack of carbohydrates to get energy, it will begin to break down fats. There can be from 2 to 7 such days, depending on the degree of endurance of the subject. After this, you can add fresh vegetables with low carbohydrate content to the menu; there should also be about five such days. Then slowly begin to introduce cereals, sweets and fruits.

Kate Middleton now

Today, Kate, as before, is the center of attention of the world press; the woman’s life is covered in all British media. In January 2021, she celebrated her birthday, and began organizing events with invitations to guests a couple of days before the main celebration.

February 2021 also began for the Duchess with a bright event. Earlier this month, she appeared at the BAFTA Awards ceremony, which takes place every year.

However, the British were not interested in Middleton’s presence at the event, but in the fact that the woman wore an old dress, which she had already worn in 2012 during a visit to Malaysia. A white evening dress from Alexander McQueen is embroidered with gold thread and features hibiscus flowers.

Dinner

One of those close to the royal family said that Kate often cooks fried chicken for dinner, which her husband likes so much. Prince Harry once admitted that William often invites him to family dinners, and he simply cannot refuse, knowing that the Duchess will prepare her signature dish.

In addition, Middleton has the famous Indian curry in her arsenal. The peculiarity of its preparation is that Kate does not use ready-made seasoning, but mixes it herself from individual ingredients, which helps to achieve the required proportions of heat and spiciness.
