In July 2013, Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge was born, becoming the third in line to the throne of Great Britain.
Kate emerged from St. Mary’s hospital in London in a blue polka dot dress, which many saw as a fitting tribute to Princess Diana, who wore a similar spotty attire herself some thirty-one years earlier.
Princess Charlotte followed shortly after.

Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born in May 2015, just under 2 years after her older brother.
The princess has actually made royal history.

Princess Charlotte became the first female royal to retain her claim to the throne, despite having a younger brother.
Before the Succession to the Crown Act 2013, the birth of a son meant that he would leap over any older daughters in the line of succession.
Traditionally, Prince Louis would have overtaken Charlotte in the line to the throne.

But, now that Princess Charlotte hasn’t been ruled out by gender, Prince Louis remains fifth-in-line to the throne, while Charlotte is fourth-in-line behind her older brother, Prince George.
So, as you can see…

I mean we all remember the iconic pictures of Kate in her student fashion show.

Prince George and Prince William could literally be the same person!
It’s now been nearly a decade since William and Kate tied the knot…And it seems their royal wedding is hitting the headlines once again, but for a very different reason.
Now, of course, many will know that the royal couple is heading towards their ten year wedding anniversary.Although Kate was initially branded as a “reluctant royal” due to her shy nature and fear of public speaking, she has gone on to become one of the most beloved royal figures over the past few years.
However, that’s not forgetting the rocky start to life as a royal she had, especially when it came to maintaining a sense of privacy…And there’s one aspect of her royal wedding that reportedly had her “in tears.”
The duchess was reportedly devastated when she found out details of her bespoke wedding dress had been leaked to the public.Kate had apparently tried to keep the name of the designer, Alexander McQueen’s Sarah Burton, a secret but it was soon revealed ahead of time.
At the time, The Sunday Times reported this:
“A fashion source said that the dress will be a combination of Middleton’s own design ideas and Burton’s deep knowledge and understanding of high fashion.”
Royal correspondent Katie Nicholl said: “Behind the scenes I think that caused tears at the Palace because Kate had done everything she could to keep the wedding dress a secret.”
Yikes. Well, were sure that everything is forgotten now!
