Is Kate Middleton related to Queen Victoria?

If they are related at all (same Middleton line), it is very distant. Arthur's ancestors came to the United States, while Kate's father's family have always lived in England. She could be a very distant cousin, or not related to him at all.

Technically speaking, all humans are related, as shown by studies in our DNA such as the Human Genome Project. But in most cases it's too distant to matter and I think this is the case with Kate and Arthur Middleton.

What will Kate Middleton's last name be?

Technically, the royal family does not use surnames. Surnames are thought to be used by commoners. Therefore, the royals use titles.

Prince William's title is His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales. Many are assuming Kate Middleton's title will be Princess Catherine of Wales. However, the Queen may bestow any title she wishes, so we will have to wait for the announcement from her to know for sure.

That all being said, Kate Middleton is marrying into the House of Windsor, so if she did want to use a last name it would be Windsor.

What is one of Kate Middleton's main achievements?

receiving an art degree from St. Andrews, marrying Prince William, giving birth to a future king

Will Kate Middleton become princess?

She will if William becomes King. He is currently second in line to the throne, after his father, Prince Charles. Kate will not be queen in the same sense as the current monarch, Elizabeth II. Elizabeth II is Queen Regnant, meaning that she is queen in her own right and the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, having inherited the crown from her father. Kate will be queen (queen consort) because she will be married to a reigning monarch.

For example, if she becomes queen and she outlives William, she will NOT become the reigning monarch. The crown will go to William's eldest child with Kate, Prince George. She would then be queen in the same way that Elizabeth's mother was queen following the accession to the throne by Elizabeth II. Elizabeth's mother, also named Elizabeth, was known as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, or fondly as the Queen Mum.

When she becomes queen, Kate will have a similar status to Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Philip.

Is Kate Middleton to be called princess?

Since the marriage of Princess William and Kate Middleton, Prince and Princess William of Wales have been given a royal dukedom by The Queen and are to be known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Catherine will be known formally as Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. Her other name, as the wife of Prince William of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, will be Princess William.

She was not born a princess so she is not (yet) Princess Catherine.

When the current Prince of Wales (Prince Charles) ascends the throne upon the death of The Queen and becomes King Charles III (or perhaps King George VII), the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will become the Prince and Princess of Wales as well as Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Lord and Lady of the Isles... at this point Catherine will become HRH Princess Catherine of Wales.

How can commoner Kate be queen?

Once the Queen (Elizabeth II) dies, Prince Charles will become King, after he dies, Prince William will become King, and Kate, as his wife will become the Queen Consort (not the Queen Regent, like Elizabeth is)

When Prince William gets married what royal title will he and his wife hold?

That depends on whether the Queen and Prince Charles are still alive, and whether William is given a title on his wedding day (as is customary).
If both still were alive, William and his wife would be known as Prince and Princess William of Wales, unless William were given a title, (say Duke of X), when they would be The Duke and Duchess of X.
When the Queen dies, and if Prince Charles becomes King, without being passed over, William will automatically become Duke of Cornwall, and his wife HRH The Duchess of Cornwall (Princess Camilla will either be Queenn, or will not assume this title in which case she will be The Duchess of Lancaster or some other courtesy title since the King or Queen is automatically the Duke of Lancaster -- even for a female monarch). It will be traditional (but not automatic) to make him Prince of Wales too. In this case, his wife would become HRH The Princess of Wales.
If Prince Charles and the Queen had died, William would be King and his wife would automatically become HM The Queen (Camilla would be The Dowager Duchess of Cornwall, or just Princess Camilla if Charles dies before the Queen or is passed over for King in favor of William) or Queen Dowager if she, in fact, does become queen if Charles does ascent to King.)

Why did Kate Middleton marry Prince William?

There are several theories.

1. The media's story, which talks about a great love story, how they met in school, Kate's family may or may not have sent her to that university in hopes of snagging William. Kate got her Prince and he finally proposed after dating nearly seven years, since Kate broke up with her ex Rupert in December 2003.

(Oddly enough, Kate did get accepted into a better university--Edinburgh, where her sister Pippa went--but for some reason chose to attend St. Andrew's.)

2. William ran out of excuses to delay the engagement. He did talk about needing motivation and giving Kate a chance to back out (translation: giving himself a chance to back out). Many men these days date women for several years and then settle when nobody "better" comes along, but don't want to be alone so they have a girlfriend for convenience. If they get tired or find someone else, they dump the girl; otherwise, they end up getting engaged 5+ years after they initially started dating.

3. The Queen gave him an ultimatum to marry Kate or dump Kate, so he had to propose since she wants William to be stable for the Jubilee and Olympics in 2012, no more of this longtime girlfriend nonsense.

4. There are many rumours going around right now about Prince Charles. There is even a book being written about his alleged gay lovers but no set date as of yet as to when it's being published. Camilla has been spending more and more time at Raymill and away from Charles, so there are also rumours that they're getting divorced soon or officially separated. A royal wedding is a great distraction from scandal.

5. Another problem is Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. They have money scandals, lots of debts and bailouts, and again a wedding is a great way to draw attention away from a scandal.

Will Kate be known as queen?

Yes. When Prince William is crowned King, she will be crowned Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as 16 independent independent sovereign states known as the Commonwealth realms.

However, there is a notable difference. Kate would be a queen consort, which means she is only a queen because she is married to the King. Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, is a queen regnant, which means she inherited the throne in her own right.

As a queen consort, Kate Middleton would have the title Queen Catherine, but she would not hold any of her husband's powers.

Do Kate Middleton have kids?

Yes. Kate Middleton has a sister, Philippa (Pippa) and a brother, James.
