Facebook Suspends Alleged Fake Kate Middleton Account

Health-care assistant Kate Middleton has had her Facebook account suspended since Thursday after being accused of falsely impersonating Prince William's fiancee, who has the same name.

When Facebook users happen to have the same first and last names as celebrities, the best of intentions can turn out to be mistakes. Take this one for example: 29-year-old Kate Middleton from Kingsway, Northants, in the U.K., has had her account suspended for pretending to be Prince William’s fiancee.

As she tells U.K. paper The Sun, Middleton – – who works as a health-care assistant – – says that one fine morning Facebook accused her of registering under a fake name and suspended her account.
