| Summary, Etc. |
Kate Middleton, Princess Catherine of Wales: She is one of the most photographed, most talked-about, most written-about women in the world. She is the heiress to Princess Diana's glamour and mystique, and she occupies a unique position as both the wife of one future monarch and the mother of another. But as the daughter of an airline attendant who grew up in public housing, Kate was not destined for this fate from birth. She had to fight for it -- and for the love of the man who will be king. In this illuminating portrait, master biographer Christopher Andersen chronicles Kate's life, beginning with her humble roots, her off-again, on-again love story with William that catapulted her to global fame, and the 2011 'Wedding of the Century' that was watched by a global television audience of nearly two billion people.
