The captivating brunette may not come from royalty, but she does have good breeding – her father is a self-made millionaire and she attended the prestigious and pricey private boarding school Marlborough College. After excelling at field hockey and cross-country running, Middleton studied art history at University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she took William off the market in 2002.
After an eight-year fairy tale romance, William proposed to Middleton with his late mother's engagement ring. The couple plans to wed in London on April 29, 2011.
