With Prince Harry's recent wedding to Meghan Markle, the British royal family has been a big topic of conversation. Another popular topic is the birth of another royal baby - Prince Louis. His mother, Catherine Middleton, or as she's known in the UK - Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, married into the royal family in April 2011, and has been in the spotlight ever since.

Princess Kate, hile a picture-perfect example of a proper royal, is also one of the best role models for young women in today's society. Millions of girls look up to her, myself included, and here's why.

1. She is an advocate for mental health.

The princess recently launched a website all about mental health, in an effort to help teachers and students improve their knowledge on the subject. She was also featured in a Mental Health Awareness video for the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families. She also participated in the Heads Together mental health campaign with her husband and brother-in-law, which made an effort to change the way people talk about mental health and encourage those who struggle to reach out for help.

2. She is very passionate about helping children.

In addition to her work surrounding children's mental health, she also works closely with charities that provide hospice care to children with life-limiting conditions. She promotes several organizations that provide this care and has taken part n multiple fundraising campaigns for such charities.

3. She is incredibly fashionable.

This comes as no surprise, considering she's married to a man who is in line to become the King of England. She wears a wide variety of designers but is frequently seen in Dolce & Gabbana, Seraphine, Jenny Packham, and Jimmy Choo.

4. She's educated.

Kate holds a degree in Art History from the University of St. Andrew's in Scotland. Even though she doesn't put this degree to much work - when Will takes the throne, she will be the first Queen of England to have a college degree.

5. She is a wonderful mother.

The Duchess is often photographed holding her children, walking them in a stroller, or just hanging out with them, and the kids always look happy. You can tell from their public appearances how well they are being raised, as they are well-mannered and absolutely adorable. Also, Kate and Will have often made statements to the media asking them to respect the privacy of their children.

6. She's actually relatable.

When she and Will first broke up while at university, she was photographed at several not-very-princess-like parties. One time, paparazzi took a very sneaky, very scandalous photo of her sunbathing topless while on holiday. She was hospitalized during all three of her pregnancies for a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness).


Though she is married to a prince, and will one day be called Queen Catherine - Kate is someone that all young women can look up to and aspire to be like. She is passionate, she is caring, and she is classy.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
