It's been almost 11 years since Kate became the Duchess of Cambridge, and since then, she's settled into the position quite comfortably, effortlessly greeting well-wishers and fans wherever she goes.
Kate and Prince William met when they were just 19 and students at the University of St Andrews in 2001. By their second year there, they had fallen head over heels for each other.
By 2008, the couple had been dating for five years, so it was no surprise that she was invited to Prince Charles' 60th birthday party.
