Born Catherine Middleton and nicknamed Kate, this former art student, commoner, entered the UK’s most scrutinized family in 2011. For many, the wife of the heir to the throne’s eldest son today symbolizes the future of the monarchy. This always impeccable brunette who fulfills her official commitments with a smile, reflects an image of reliability at a difficult time for a monarchy which closes ranks in the face of scandals and divisions.
Kate again delighted her fans and an already enthusiastic press during a Christmas concert at Westminster Abbey broadcast on television, dedicated to those who worked during the coronavirus pandemic. She accompanied on the piano the singer Tom Walker who interpreted his title For These Who Can’t Be Here.
