Kate Middleton’s link to Miranda Hart - who is also related to Princess Diana - REVEALED
KATE MIDDLETON and Miranda Hart have a strange link, it has been revealed. While some may not put the Duchess of Cambridge and the comedian together, the posh pair actually went to the same school for a time, leading Hart to claim Prince William could have married her instead.
Kate Middleton, 35, the Duchess of Cambridge is currently pregnant with her and Prince William’s third child - which could even be twins, if some reports are to be believed.
But did you know Prince William isn’t the only famous connection the Duchess has? You’ll never guess the link between the 35-year-old royal and actress Miranda Hart, 44.
The Duchess and the BBC star went to the same school, Downe House in Berkshire - albeit for a short period of time.
The school was described in the Good Schools Guide as an, “archetypal traditional girls’ full boarding school turning out delightful, principled, courteous and able girls who go on to make a significant contribution to the world”.

However, Kate was only at the school for a short period of time, as Ms Hart told the Telegraph in 2011
The actress said: "The thing is, Kate didn't stay there very long because she wanted to play hockey and Downe House is more of a lacrosse school.
"I was happy to stay put because I am very much a lacrosse girl. That's the only real difference between us. Think of what could have happened to me if I had moved on, too. It could have been me. I suppose I will have to go after Prince Harry now."
Unfortunately the younger Prince is also taken now, by the stunning Suits actress Meghan Markle, 36.
In fact, Ms Hart is far more royal by birth than Kate Middleton, as she is related to Princess Diana.
