Catherine, the Princess of Wales A biography of the future queen

Robert Jobson

Large print - 2025

"Kate Middleton's life's 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 Britain and America with her extensive travels, 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...9;s warmth and accessibility--this 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 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."-- more
