Kate is married to Prince William, with the two tying the knot in 2011. Nielsen reported that just under 23 million people tuned in for the event in the United States alone. Since then, the couple has welcomed three children. Their firstborn, Prince George, was born in 2013, while Princess Charlotte followed in 2015 and Prince Louis in 2018.
Both Kate and William are quite private when it comes to their family. When not at home, Kate keeps busy with her royal duties and charity work, with a focus on mental health and early childhood.
Recently, Kate hosted the annual Together At Christmas caroling event for the third year in a row on Dec. 8, from which Charles was noticeably absent. At the time, the Royal Family was dealing with drama surrounding the release of a new book called Endgame: Inside The Royal Family And The Monarchy's Fight For Survival and a controversial misprint.
