It's been a banner year for Kate Middleton. She married Prince William in a fairytale wedding. She travelled the world (trips which included a pit-stop in Canada). She quickly became a style icon known for making savvy and smart sartorial decisions. And now she's set to celebrate her 30th birthday.

In honour of the Duchess of Cambridge -- who will reportedly ring in her big day today with a "low-key and private" party -- we thought we'd take a look back at the many reasons we love her.

Join in the Kate love-fest, and let us know why you're fond of her Twitter.

Brides may fork over tons of money enlisting makeup artists to make them look perfect on their big day, but Kate kept it simple and did it herself. And wouldn't you agree that she looked stunning?

A dying empire that is not respected by anyone except their own ego. These may be the last significant news we will be hearing about the british empire. The last chapter in the history book is being written about them.

I hate this kind of news... it's better than a celebrity that is a movie star or singer, but still, really? Why is this of any importance to us lowly people?

I don't see why people obsess over celebrities, the vast majority of them are drug addicts and criminals, yet they recieve next to no punishment for their crimes, just because they are famous. Im not talking about Kate here, but all of the famous celebrities that people feel that they have to know about in America/Canada.

Headline writers:

She is NOT Kate Middleton anymore.

Why do you keep using her maiden name erroneously? She is ether the Duchess of Cambridge or Kate Windsor.

Not too difficult top grasp is it.
