Princess Catherine

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (more commonly known as Kate) is Prince William’s wife. Her marriage to William was heavily documented in the media, as was the birth of her two children. Her sense of fashion is much lauded, and her impact on fashion has been called the “Kate Middleton effect”, since much of the clothing she wears soon becomes sold out. Catherine is an English name that can be traced back to the Greek name Aikaterina. It is linked to the word ‘katharos’ meaning ‘pure’. The name was introduced to England in the medieval period.
