Synopsis: Following the royal wedding, the Diamond Jubilee and the imminent birth of Kate and William's first baby, popular sentiment towards the royal family has rarely been higher. At the centre of this surge in affection is a woman who has captured the heart of a nation and who, at the side of her husband, Prince William, is ushering a new dawn for the United Kingdom's reigning family. For, due to planned amendments to the rules of accession to the British Crown, their first child, regardless of gender, will succeed William to the throne. This biography explores the life of the woman who has done so much to revitalize the public image of the royal family, covering her early years, her family, her time at St. Andrews University, and her meeting with Prince William, their early relationship and its trials, the wedding and her new official role, her style, and of course, her pregnancy. Besides being the perfect book for admirers of this remarkable young woman, Kate: A Biography, marks a crucial moment in the history of the royal line.

Review: Five years after publication, Kate and William are now the parents of three children, and settled into their roles as the stable, but still fashionable, married couple. Kate is my favorite royal, especially for her style, but also as a mom.

This wasn't the most exciting, best written biography, but I enjoyed it anyway. I'd like to read something published more recently about Kate.
