Synopsis

Through the author’s extensive connections within the royal household, this dynamic new biography tells the full story of how Catherine, the Princess of Wales, became the woman she is today.

Kate Middleton’s life story seems like a modern-day fairy tale.

An attractive, clever, and ambitious girl from unexceptional beginnings meets and falls in love with a wealthy prince when they are both college undergraduates. Now, with the British monarchy in transition, Catherine is destined to become the first “commoner Queen” in British history since Anne Hyde, wife of James II.

Since her wedding on April 29th, 2011—and since becoming the Duchess of Cambridge—Catherine has endeared herself to the people of the Britain and America with her extensive travels, with her infectious smile, sense of style, and down-to-earth nature. With her self-deprecation, willingness to laugh at herself, solid work-ethic—along with William’s warmth, and accessibility—this dynamic duo has become the most popular members of the royal family.

As interest in the royals continues to gain legions of new, younger fans, there is increasing interest in the histories and back stories of the principal players in this story. Through the author’s connection with sources both on and off the record within the royal household, this dynamic new biography tells the full story of how Catherine became the woman she is today.

Goodreads review by Jules

An easy read. Not totally awful but a bit patronising and like lots of articles from Hello! Magazine stitched together with no new insight whatsoever. The Sussex bashing was also in my opinion a bit unnecessary.......more

Goodreads review by Deb

I wasn’t going to buy this book because I am not a fan of Jobson but my husband brought it for me as a surprise because he knows how much I adore Princess Catherine and didn’t realize that Jobson has been unkind sometimes to Catherine and too kind to the Sussex duo. However, as I had it I decided to......more

Goodreads review by Bettina

Het eerste deel is logisch opgebouwd en is best interessant. De tweede helft is rommelig en vaak begreep ik niet goed waarom bepaalde zaken in hetzelfde hoofdstuk stonden. Als je thema's wil behandelen, moet je dat echt beter doen. Verder is het ontzettend oppervlakkig geschreven, soms op het stompz......more
