Kate Middleton: what she sacrificed to marry William
Kate Middleton, who celebrated ten years of marriage with Prince William last April, has had to make many sacrifices since she met the man of her life. The first goes back to their university years, during which the Duchess of Cambridge found herself faced with a difficult choice ...
Kate Middleton's fate could have been drastically different. In the early 2000s, the young woman was about to start her university studies, and was studying her different options. Brilliant and passionate about art history, the Duchess of Cambridge is considering opting for the prestigious University of Edinburgh, unbeatable in the field. However, his choice will ultimately fall on a completely different university, that of St Andrews. It was there that Prince William, the future heir to the British throne, decided to continue his studies. Information that has toured the United Kingdom, and which would have reached the ears of Kate Middleton.
The young woman will finally decide to give up the establishment which made her eye to integrate the University of St Andrews. A choice that surprised those who knew her. "She had always placed Edinburgh in choice number 1, and she had been accepted, her place was reserved," confirmed the guidance counselor at Marlborough College boarding school, where she was educated. "Some journalists have argued that Carole Middleton, a bit upstart, would have pushed her daughter to register to better meet the prince", says Bertrand Meyer-Stabley in the book The life of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
A life dedicated to the Crown
A huge sacrifice for Kate Middleton, who was only the first of a long list, she who married Prince William, second in the order of succession to the British throne, ten years after their meeting. Over the years, the mother of George, Charlotte and Louis has become one of the most essential figures of the Crown, to whom she has dedicated her life. A pillar for the royal family but above all for the Duke of Cambridge, at his side in good times as in storms.
