The Duchess of Cambridge is a wife, a mother
of three children, a member of the royal family,
and one of the most famous women in the world
She has managed to captivate the world with
their charming personality, passionate charity
work, fashion sense, and more
Just look at her first major moments in the
monarchy
In a sure sign that the couple had a future
together, Kate attended William's first Garter
ceremony back in 2008
Kate's first duty as a newly minted royal-in-waiting
in 2010 was to give an interview on TV
Kate and William posed for official engagement
pictures by Mario Testino in December 2010
Catherine attended her first engagement when
she accompanied William to a Christmas event
for the Teenage Cancer Trust in 2010
Kate's first borrowed diamonds from the royal
vaults were courtesy of the Cartier Halo tiara
for her wedding day
Unlike Garter Day, Trooping the Colour is
a classic case of "no ring, no bring," so
no girlfriends or boyfriends are allowed on
the balcony — only husbands or wives
Kate made her debut two months after her wedding
day in 2011
Kate and William were off on their first royal
tour together — covering 11 days in Canada
and LA during July 2011
On the same tour of Canada, Kate performed
what is one of the constants of royal life
a tree-planting
In this case it was an eastern hemlock, situated
next to the pin oak that William's parents,
Charles and Diana, had planted nearly 30 years
earlier
In October 2011, after six months of royal
life, Kate performed her first solo engagement
standing in for Prince Charles at an In
Kind Direct charity event
A staple of the royal calendar is the service
on Remembrance Sunday, and Kate's first went
off without a hitch in November 2011
It was clear that Kate was slotting right
into the family when they appeared for their
usual walk to church on Christmas Day 2011
After months of research and advisory meetings,
Kate's first charity patronages were announced
in January 2012
Of the five, the first that she backed up
with an engagement was on Feb. 10, attending
a Lucian Freud exhibition at the National
Portrait Gallery
While William was away for military training
in the Falklands, Kate performed a clutch
of solo engagements, but the queen also invited
both Kate and Camilla along for a Diamond
Jubilee tour of Fortnum and Mason in March
2012
Also while William was away in 2012, Kate
accompanied her father-in-law, Prince Charles,
to Dulwich Picture Gallery, where they got
stuck into some arts and crafts
Kate's first speech was also given while William
was away and rounded off her inaugural set
of engagements linked to her new patronages
On March 18, she appeared at The Treehouse
— part of East Anglia Children's Hospices
It was over 12 months after their wedding
before Kate made her first appearance at one
of the queen's annual tea parties alongside
Charles and Camilla in May 2012
Kate's first official portrait was painted
by Paul Emsley in 2013 and received mixed
reactions, but Kate deemed it "amazing"
While heavily pregnant with Prince George,
Kate launched a cruise ship called The Royal
Princess in June 2013
Just over a month later, the duchess marked
a more significant milestone when she posed
outside the doors of St. Mary's Hospital with
William and their hours-old baby boy, Prince
George
One film is picked for a Royal Film Performance
every year, and in 2014 it was the biopic
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom
William and Kate were chosen as the royal
attendees
Although Kate has participated in many state
events during her royal life so far, it wasn't
until October 2015 that she attended her first
state banquet at Buckingham Palace
It was held for the Chinese president
Following in the footsteps of the rest of
the family Kate has now posed for her first
official magazine cover
She was chosen for the centenary edition of
Vogue, which hit the shelves in June 2016
