| Kate Middleton is the girl everyone wants to be. Catherine Elizabeth "Kate" Middleton is living a perfect Cinderella fairy tale. She is the woman who won the heart of Britain s most desirable bachelor. Academically gifted and sophisticated beyond her years, this dark-haired beauty possesses the natural poise and impeccable breeding necessary for the wife-to-be of the heir to the throne. She has charmed Prince William and his circle and captivated the entire House of Windsor. Yet there is a history behind her polished veneer that would surprise any royal court observer—an extraordinary, inspiring, and deeply moving tale of an impoverished working-class family that overcame deprivation and adversity to rise to the upper echelons of British society. Based on exclusive and intimate interviews with Kate s closest friends and relatives, and containing photographs, many published here for the very first time, Claudia Joseph s Kate is a fascinating portrait of the extraordinary young woman who may be queen—and the story of a family s remarkable journey from the mining villages of Durham to an apartment in the royal residence of Clarence House. |
