a free image is reasonably obtainable. Unlike members of the royal family (or other famous people like Jodie Foster), Ms. Middleton doesn't make any public appearances, doesn't walk the red-carpet line at premiers, doesn't do photo calls or press conferences, and in no other way makes herself available for photography. She doesn't have an official photograph or crown-copyright portrait, and she doesn't seem to have a press agent to whom we could reasonably make a request for a GFDL/cc-by-sa/PD photo. She doesn't attend meetings or conferences with famous people or dignitaries, so she'll not be in the photographs arising from those. As a private citizen her whereabouts, home, and movements aren't generally known, and she's protected by a Special Branch detective. When her address did become public, the Evening Standard reported the Metropolitan Police conducted a security review (source). I can't see any reasonable way in which anyone short of a professional paparazzo or a stalker could reasonably obtain a photograph of her, so I believe this is one case where a fair use image is justified.
