Happy Birthday, Kate Middleton! 10 Royally Cute Pictures That Make Us Smile

Kate Middleton: How far has she come? It was just a few short years ago that she was merely William's under-the-radar, on-again-off-again girlfriend, and now she's one of the world's biggest obsessions. Since she turns the big 3-2 today, we knew we had to celebrate in style. And, what better way to do so than by looking back at some of our favorite pictures of the absurdly photogenic princess.

Now, we know you've seen just about every snap of Middleton under the sun. Kate walking the red carpet. Kate hugging a child. Kate christening a boat. Those are all great, but the reason we love the duchess so much is for her willingness to be, well, a total nerd. She just has so much dang fun all the time, and somehow manages to look flawless and radiant at the same time. So, in honor of her day of birth, we've picked out the 10 funniest, wackiest, and just downright adorable pics of our pal Kate. Three cheers to you, dear duchess.
