Kate Middleton removed from Facebook

A British woman has been banned from Facebook for sharing her name with Prince William's fiancee.

Kate Middleton, 29, was shocked when she found she could no longer access her account on the social networking website - because staff believed she was a fake and suspended her profile.

Kate - who works as a healthcare assistant - wants to regain access to the site so she can invite people to her birthday party.

A spokesman for Facebook said: "We review thousands of pieces of content every day. Of course, we make an occasional mistake. When this happens and we work quickly to resolve the issue."
