CONCORD, Mass. — Yes, she really is Kate Middleton.

Kate Middleton, the Boston bicycle enthusiast, that is.

But that hasn’t stopped the 32-year-old from being confused with the woman who is about to marry Prince William. Recently, Facebook accused the Boston Middleton of being an impostor and deleted her account. Various media reporters also keep showing up at ATA Cycle, a Concord, Mass. bicycling shop where she works, and asking her to speak in a British accent.

“I’m really not interested in pretending I’m British,” said Middleton, who is originally from Louisville, Ky. “And I’m not really interested in pretending I’m the other Kate Middleton so I basically refused on all five requests to speak in a British accent.”

    Can you believe so many me there are .We have the same name, spell the same way, except I am the most popular. Does that mean their accounts will be deleted in similar circumstances?, so many people have the same names. Enough already

    Face Book authorities are not intelligent for assuming that the woman’s name is a fake. Surely in their business they should know that many people in the world have the same name and also surname. I would sue them.
    I, too, have a similar name to one of the present royalties, if not more in the past.
    I noticed my name on Face Book and I did not sign-up for Face Book.
    I was surprised that there is a place which has my name. I would love to visit it. Hopefully, in time.
    In addition, I once accessed Face Book and noticed that there are many people who have the same name as I. I hope, not the same surname.

    Well I do not know how many there is, but I found out that I am not the only me, pertaining to my full name, in my homeland of Dominica, wee!

    Unfortunately, I am on facebook too. So I will just have to pray that none of the other me’s is a famous and mighty, so I won’t be deleted from facebook for impersonating, you see! What a miserable world we live in, eh!

    It’s a good think too, that the Queen of England and the other Royals are only usind their first names, because, since I have the same first name as the Queen, who knows if I would have ended up in trouble, just the same. After all!
