Since officially joining the royal family when she married Prince William back in 2011, Kate Middleton has become one of its most popular members. Now eagerly awaiting the birth of her third child, Kate has just been given an honor that no other royal has gotten before!
Kensington Palace just announced on Twitter that Kate has been officially appointed as patron of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. No other royal before her has been awarded this position, but given the fact that Kate has made it known that her passion lies in visual arts, her patronage should come as no surprise to anyone!

“The Duchess of Cambridge is to become the first Royal Patron of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Furthering Her Royal Highness’s interest in the visual arts, photography, and design, she formally takes up the V&A Patronage from today,” Kensington Palace announced on Twitter.
Kate’s interest in arts stems back to college, as she has a degree in History of Art from St. Andrews University. When joining the royal family, she made it known that she wanted to use her position to help bring more light to art and help others like herself explore this passion.
The Victoria and Albert Museum is known worldwide as a leading museum of art, design, education, and performance. It was originally founded to make art available to the masses and to inspire other British artists.
We would like to congratulate Kate on her patronage, and we can’t wait to see what she does with the museum in the years to come!
