Catherine, the Princess of Wales : the biography

Jobson, Robert2024
Books
An attractive, clever, and ambitious girl from unexceptional beginnings meets and falls in love with a wealthy prince destined to be King when they are both university undergraduates. Now, with the British monarchy in transition, Catherine is destined to to become the first 'commoner Queen' in British history since Anne Hyde (later the Duchess of York and Albany) - wife of James II and mother of two Queen's Mary II and Queen Anne, the first Queen of Great Britain. Since her wedding on 29 April 2011, and becoming the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine has endeared herself to the people of the UK, the Commonwealth and worldwide on her extensive travels, with her infectious smile, sense of style and down-to-earth nature. Her self-deprecation, willingness to laugh at herself, solid work-ethic - along with her husband, William, warmth, and accessibility - this royal family's dynamic duo have 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 their histories and back stories of the principal players in this story. This book aims to discover, through talking to close sources both on and off the record within the royal household, what has made Catherine the woman she is today.
