Once upon a time, Princess Mary was just Mary Donaldson, and Duchess Catherine? Well, she went by Kate Middleton.
We bet these now-royals never guessed in their wildest dreams that they would one day be donning sparkling crowns and waving as elegantly as the Queen to crowds of royal spotters all over the world.
