Middleton was born at Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, She was grew up in Berkshire.[3] She went to Marlborough College.[4] She met Prince William when she was studying at the University of St Andrews in 2001.[5] When they started a relationship, the attention from the media made Middleton feel harassed.[6] In April 2007, the press reported that William and Middleton had split up. They continued to be friends and didn't stay away from each other, and later in 2007 they got back together. Since then, Middleton has attended many royal events. Many people like her fashion sense and she has been placed on many "best dressed" lists.[7] On 22 July 2013, the Duchess gave birth to a baby boy in a London hospital. On 24 July, it was announced that the baby would be called Prince George of Cambridge, with the full given name George Alexander Louis.
