Princess Politics #1

Catherine, Duchess Of Cambridge




Catherine Elizabeth Middleton, known as Kate, was born on January 9, 1982, in Reading, Berkshire, England. Her parents Michael and Carole Middleton were a pilot and flight attendant respectively. She was the eldest of her siblings which included younger sister Philippa “Pippa” and younger brother James. Kate’s family came from a working-class stock of coal-miners and builders but later found a successful business in a mail-order party goods company eventually making the Middleton family multi-millionaires. During her college time in St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland, she was placed in the same dormitory as Prince Williams and they bonded over classes and breakfast together which led to their everlasting relationship.
On April 29, 2011, the couple married at Westminster Abbey in London. Although she caught Prince William’s eye in a see-through dress, her style has evolved for a chic ambassador for British fashion. Late Alexander McQueen seems to be her go-to designer with the lace details and geometric cuts that defines elegance to the ‘e’. For instance, during her pregnancy she managed to look as gorgeous as ever with hues of pink and blue that got our thoughts on the gender of the baby mixed up and let’s not forget the time she rocked an animal print ensemble with her baby bump…très très chic! The arrival of baby Prince George hasn’t altered the Duchess’ style when she is seen in a simple striped tee with jeans at a Polo game on Father’s Day.
Although her highness doesn’t experiment with prints as much as we’d like to see, she goes all out on silhouettes and bold colors with textures which gives brilliant results. When some women only dread to wear, Kate only dares to repeat an outfit twice.
