| book description |
The definitive portrait of Kate Middleton, the beloved and private Princess of Wales, tracing her rise from “commoner†to queen-in-waiting, with all the scandals and challenges along the way, from #1 New York Times bestselling royal biographer Christopher Andersen, author of Brothers and Wives and Game of Crowns. Kate Middleton, Princess Catherine of Wales: She is one of the most photographed, most talked-about, most written-about women in the world. She is the heiress to Princess Diana’s glamour and mystique, and she occupies a unique position as both the wife of one future monarch and the mother of another. But as the daughter of an airline attendant who grew up in public housing, Kate was not destined for this fate from birth. She had to fight for it—and for the love of the man who will be king. In this illuminating portrait, master biographer Christopher Andersen chronicles Kate’s life, beginning with her humble roots, her off-again, on-again love story with William that catapulted her to global fame, and the 2011“Wedding of the Century†that was watched by a global television audience of nearly two billion people. Over the course of their marriage, Kate has proven that she is more than just the wife to a prince—she is a selfless humanitarian championing a wide range of causes, the devoted mother of three children growing up in the white-hot glare of the media spotlight, an unparalleled fashion trendsetter, and, quite simply, the universally adored face of Britain’s monarchy. But her story is far more complex than the public knows. Behind the glittering façade, and with startling new details from his inside sources, Andersen reveals the full picture: including Kate’s fight to repair the rift between William and Harry, the disintegration of her relationship with Meghan, her work to refute charges of racism leveled at the monarchy, the very real power she wields both on the world stage and behind palace walls, and Kate’s bravery in the face of cancer—her diagnosis and treatment, and the bizarre conspiracy theories that swirled around her disappearance from public view. Kate! is the definitive, all-encompassing account of the tireless advocate, style icon, wife, mother, and future queen. Her story is an against-all-odds romance, a glittering fairy tale, and a heart-tugging family drama—but most of all, an inspiring saga of one woman’s grace and grit in the face of adversity.
