On 9 January 1982, Catherine Elizabeth Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, was born at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading. The eldest of three children, her father Michael Middleton was a flight dispatcher for British Airways, and her mother, Carole, was a former flight attendant. Her sister Pippa was born in 1983 and their brother James was born in 1987.
Catherine was baptized at St Andrew’s Bradfield, a local parish church, on 20 June 1982. From May 1984 to September 1986, her family lived in Amman, Jordan. During that time she attended an English-language nursery school. Once the family returned to Berkshire, Catherine was four years old when she enrolled at St Andrew’s School, a private school in the area.Embed from Getty Images
