Happy Birthday: Kate Middleton's life in pictures

 The Kate Middleton had a real wonderful and eventful previous year in her life and rose up to new and unique heights of fame and style which were earlier associated to her mother-in-law Lady Diana.   

The future queen has given us a fantastic reason to write about her on her special day, as she stepped out at London’s Leicester Square last night to attend the 'War Horse' premiere with hubby Prince William by her side (who was also holding up her umbrella – aww!).

Kate continued her love affair with Temperley as she wowed the crowd in a floor-length lace Temperley couture dress, accessorized with a chic black clutch and a simple but incredibly sparkly silver bracelet.

The British media reports earlier that Kate doesn’t have any prolific birthday celebration plans, but you never know – sister Pippa Middleton and brother-in-law Prince Harry may have something up their sleeves…(read here secret birthday party plans)

Once again: Happy Birthday Kate! See below the memories from the life of Duchess of Cambridge:

Her party-planning sister Pippa Middleton has reportedly teamed up with Prince Harry to plan the event. Pippa and Harry have been organising a 'secretly arranged party' to be thrown in her honour this weekend. The pair have apparently decided on an 80's theme to pay tribute to the decade the Duchess was born in.

On the eve of her birthday, which is the January 9, Kate will attend the premiere of Stephen Spielberg's film War Horse with Prince William at Odeon Leicester Square. Following the film, the pair will attend a £10,000 ticket charity dinner.

A copy of Pippa Middleton's bridesmaid dress at her sister Kate's wedding to Prince William is to go on sale in Britain, at about a 100th of the cost of the original, a store said Thursday.

Middleton, 27, almost stole the show on her elder sister's big day in April, wowing a global television audience of some two billion viewers as she arrived at Westminster Abbey in a figurehugging white Alexander McQueen dress.

Her stunning appearance sparked an Internet frenzy, with the Facebook group "Pippa Middleton Ass Appreciation Society" attracting almost a quarter of a million fans.

Now Britons seeking to add a bit of royal wedding sparkle to their lives are in luck - department store Debenhams has announced that from September it will be selling a cut-price gown inspired by Middleton's dress.

The original reportedly cost around $32,600 but the replica will retail for just $270, said Debenhams, which has branches across Britain.

The store said it has been inundated with requests for dresses modelled on those at the royal wedding, with demand for Middleton's gown even outstripping interest in the dress worn by her sister, now known as Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.

"Both men and women everywhere were instantly talking about Pippa, so naturally bridesto-be will want to emulate her classic look - both for themselves or their bridesmaids," said Alain Mehada, chief personal shopper at Debenhams branch on London's Oxford Street.

Debenhams also plans to sell a replica of the emerald green evening gown worn by Pippa Middleton at the evening wedding party for $160, and a flower-girl dress which will retail at between $76 and $83. Both will go on sale later this year.
