With the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge more than halfway through their Caribbean tour, it's clear to see just how far Kate has come since joining the royal family in 2011.
Being the public eye and under so much scrutiny certainly can't be easy, especially when the duchess was ridiculed with cruel names such as 'Waity Katie' before she and Prince William announced their engagement.
The name was given to Kate because of the seven year gap between the beginning of her romantic relationship with Wills in 2003 and their engagement in 2010.
