Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, could be the best representation of the United Kingdom to the world. Because of this, Fabulous magazine has chosen her for its tribute issue, which arrived in newsstands last Sunday, Nov. 3.
The Fabulous coverage, reportedly, delves on Kate Middleton, dubbed "Catherine the Great," as a royal, a wife and mother and a style icon. Fans of the duchess, whose real name is Catherine Elizabeth, could not help but remark on the fitting choice as they see Prince William's wife as a classy, grounded and respectful woman who will one day become the queen consort.
According to sources at Fabulous, Kate took years "mature to perfection" as a royal just like the finest of wines. However, she has transformed into this confident and driven woman who is well-aware of where she is headed and she gets there "under her own steam."
In her younger years, Kate Middleton had a lot of doubt about herself despite her stature. Called "Waity Katie" by critics because all she reportedly did was to sit around and look pretty until Prince William proposed, the Duchess of Cambridge now holds influence as a senior royal.
These days, the duchess receives plenty of comparisons to one of the highest epitomes of a woman of her stature, Princess Diana. Kate is no longer the commoner who married the future king because she has proven to be worthy of her role for the last eight years of her union with Prince William.
Sir Anthony Seldon of the University of Buckingham praised Kate Middleton for her rare ability to "talk and relate to those of different ages, backgrounds and ethnicities." Seldon also said that Kate has this magical talent that most people don't possess.
Palace insiders said that as a royal, Kate Middleton works quietly and with little fuss. Her smiling face in public is what people see in private as well. She is reportedly well-liked among palace aides and fellow members of the royal family.
Kate also impressed Queen Elizabeth over the years as she juggles raising three young kids with her royal duties to the crown. She also earned the Queen's respect after choosing to be hands-on with Prince George, the third in line to the throne, and her two other children when this job was traditionally left to nannies.
She and Prince William have been trying to raise their children as normal as possible amid their status as royals. The Cambridge children are robust kids and it's one of the things that the Queen apparently loves about this family Kate and Prince William built together, insiders said.
