Catherine, the Princess of Wales

Discover the truth behind the headlines in the revelatory royal biography of the year. From the Sunday Times bestselling author and royal correspondent, Robert Jobson, this new biography tells the full story of how Catherine, the Princess of Wales, became the woman she is today.

Kate Middleton's life story seems like a modern-day fairy tale. An attractive, clever, and ambitious girl from unexceptional beginnings meets and falls in love with a wealthy prince destined to be King while they are both university undergraduates. Now, with the British monarchy in transition, Catherine is Princess of Wales and is set to become Queen.

Since her wedding on 29 April 2011, Catherine has endeared herself to the people of the UK, the Commonwealth, and worldwide on her extensive travels, with her infectious smile, sense of style, and down-to-earth nature. Her self-deprecation, willingness to laugh at herself, and solid work ethic—along with her husband, William's warmth and accessibility—have made this royal family's dynamic duo the most popular members of the Royal Family. However, it hasn't come without its fair share of commentary and scandal, particularly with recent revelations about the relationship of the 'Fab Four' with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as well as her own health scares.

As interest in the royals continues to grow among younger fans, there is increasing curiosity about their histories and the backstories of the principal players in this narrative. This book aims to uncover, through conversations with close sources both on and off the record within the royal household, what has shaped Catherine into the woman she is today.
