Princess Catherine is undeniably an incredible woman.
She’s obviously married to the future King of England (AKA Prince William) and is the mother of three adorable children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
But Catherine also singlehandedly spearheaded the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
The initiative, launched in 2021, focuses on research and action to improve early childhood development and its impact on long-term mental health and societal well-being.
Furthermore, the princess’ work as a photographer has been internationally recognised – in 2017, she was made an honorary member of the Royal Photographic Society for her contributions to the art form.
Not to mention, Catherine bravely underwent chemotherapy following a cancer diagnosis in early 2024.
But before she was the Princess of Wales and before any of these accomplishments, Catherine was just a normal British girl who went by Kate Middleton…
Read on if you’d like to revisit days gone by and take a look at the best photos of a young Kate Middleton.
After much speculation, Kate and William announced their engagement in November 2010. At the time, both Kate and William were 28-years-old.
In 2008, Kate arrived at a ‘Midnight Roller Disco’ charity event clad in a green sequin top and yellow hotpants.
Also in 2008, Kate enjoyed a night out on the town in this fabulously funky dress; a far cry from the polished and chic fashion style she rocks today.
Speaking of a far cry from her current aesthetic, we can’t image Princess Catherine in jeans and ugg boots. And yet in 2007, she wore them!
In 2006, Kate started appearing at ‘royal’ events. For instance, she attended the Sovereign’s Parade.
Kate graduated from St Andrews on June 23, 2005. She was 23-years-old. Prince William also graduated from the prestigious university on the same day.
This sweet childhood photo of Kate with her father Michael Middleton was shared via the Prince and Princess of Wales’ Instagram account in 2020 in honour of Father’s Day.
