Kate Middleton
Fairytale Dream or True Love
As a little girl, one always dreams of becoming a princess, wonders who her prince charming will be, and how beautiful she will feel on the day of her fairytale wedding. Disney princesses have always given those curious little minds a role model to look up to. Cinderella was a less-than-average girl, for example, who later met the man of her dreams and became royalty. Although a film written strictly from one’s imagination, Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, could very well be thought of as another one of those classic Disney princesses. Just an average girl who had a normal life is now in line for the throne. Some may say she was willing to do anything to make her childhood dreams reality, while others are convinced it really is true love.
Kate Middleton, given the name Catherine Elizabeth Middleton, was born in Reading, England on January 9, 1982, to a working class family (www.researchhistory.org). However, her grandmother, Dorthy, was the first to improve their social and economic status (www.biography.com). Kate’s mother, Carole, and father, Michael, met when Carole worked as an airline hostess for British Airways in Ammon, Jordan and Michael was an officer (People Weekly 28). The couple married June 21, 1980, and then, just two years after their marriage, they gave birth to their first daughter, Kate. Kate remained an only child for a very short amount of time because in less than two years her sister, Philippa, arrived. Philippa Charolette Middleton, called “Pippa,” is not only Kate’s sister but her best friend as well. They have always been attached at the hip since day one. They laugh at the same jokes, share the same style, went to the same school, and Pippa was also Kate’s maid-of-honor in the royal wedding. Lastly, the youngest of the children and the only boy, James Middleton, was born. Kate and Pippa were definitely the closest of the siblings, but James played an important part in the wedding as well
