The official Royal Wedding Website, launched by the Palace last week, is living up to its promise in providing exclusives.  Today they released never-before-seen pictures of the future princess Kate Middleton from her family album.  From a wee one to her graduation with Prince William, these pictures were said to have been chosen by Kate’s parents and approved by Kate.  In addition, the first official mini-biography has been published online.

In the 8 years that Kate has been in the spotlight for her relationship with William, who knew that she spent her toddler years in Jordan?  Or about the little known facts that, apart from her sporting achievements, she obtained a gold Duke of Edinburgh Award in Marlborough?  Or that she crewed on Round the World Challenge boats in the Solent?  Not even an avid royal watcher would have known such details!
