If Kate Middleton separated from her mini-skirts and her necklines long before marrying Prince William, this is not the only sacrifice she had to make to be accepted by the general public and the family. British royal. Today favorite of Queen Elizabeth II, the pretty commoner has not always had this perfectly immaculate image.
Indeed, according to specialist Katie Nicholl, author of the biography “William and Harry“, released in 2010, at first the head of the family did not like her “frivolous display of wealth”. And she would have told him enough “spicy”assures the royal expert.
It must be said that Kate Middleton comes from a wealthy British family, which made a fortune in party items (the company of her mother, Carole, is called Party Pieces). And the success of the Middletons has allowed them to send their children (Kate, Pippa and James) to the most prestigious schools, to house them in the most beautiful neighborhoods, and above all to take them on vacation to heavenly places.

In fact, during the first years of her relationship with Prince William, Kate Middleton went skiing in Switzerland where she stayed in a chalet, and she went to sunbathe in the Mustique Islands, where she stayed in a villa. Trips so recurrent that the tabloids ended up dubbing her “the Queen of Mosquito“, a title that was previously used for Princess Margaret… The sister of Queen Elizabeth II was indeed known for her very jet set lifestyle.
The queen took a dim view of this. Indeed Katie Nicholl says: “Britain was in a recession and such frivolous displays of wealth were distasteful to the Queen”. In fact, Kate and William have long traded their high-end lifestyle for simpler vacations. Now, with their 3 children, they travel between the Isles of Scilly and Balmoral Castle. Nothing to moan about…
