Princess's Village Childhood
On January 9, 1982, the future wife of Prince William, Duchess Kate, was born in the English county of Berkshire. The girl's mother, Carol Goldsmith, from a working-class family, worked as a flight attendant before marriage. Father, Michael Francis Middleton, worked first as an air traffic controller, then as a pilot. Work and love for the sky introduced and brought young people together. They got married two years before the birth of their first child.
The future Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is the eldest of three children. Catherine's ancestors never belonged to the British nobility. Both maternal and paternal relatives of the girl are from the middle and working class. When Katherine was five years old, the Middletons were considerably richer and were able to buy a house in Berkshire. This profit was brought to them by their own company (gifts and various small things for the holidays).
Little Kate went to an ordinary English kindergarten, and after - to school in the village of Panborn, where their new home was located. The girl graduated from school at the age of 13 and immediately entered a private college in Marlborough. There she was fond of tennis, hockey, athletics. Her favorite subjects were chemistry, biology and art.

After successfully graduating from college, Katherine decides to take time out and go to university in a year. The girl devotes her free time to traveling, she visited Italy and Chile. The future Duchess Kate participated in various charity programs from a young age.
Parents never spared money for the education of their children, they studied in the best educational institutions. The children were brought up in strictness, and little Katherine always behaved like a real duchess. Kate devoted a lot of time to her education, because she believed that a girl should be well brought up, educated and be an interesting conversationalist. Kate is the first of the Middletons to enter a higher educational institution - the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
Kate and Ulyam met within the walls of this university. But howaccording to the media, there was no love at first sight, at least mutual.

Photos of the girl in a transparent dress began to appear in the media due to the increased interest in her person. And although the pictures show that Kate herself is not happy with the fashion show and her own outfit, she did not even know what role it would play in her life.
On the one hand, it was on this day that a modest student was noticed by Prince William. Who, as befits a royal and an active, handsome student, sat in the very front row. On the other hand, with the acquisition of the official status of "Duchess of Cambridge" Kate blushed more than once for her appearance and such an "elegant and modest" outfit.
