1. Press release for Kate: The Future Queen (Trade Paperback); Weinstein Books, 2014
Katie Nicholl’s Intimate Account of the Past and Present of Kate
Middleton, England’s Beloved Future Queen, Now in Trade Paperback
Between her celebrated fashion choices and her marriage to the future King of England,
Kate Middleton truly is a modern-day princess. National and international media has
been focused on Kate from the beginnings of her relationship with Prince William, but
surprisingly little is really known about the future Queen of England. Kate: The Future
Queen (Weinstein Books; November 4, 2014; $16) will keep you “glued” to the insider
look the paparazzi has never been able to access; Katie Nicholl, Royal Editor for the Mail
on Sunday and contributing editor for Vanity Fair, goes beyond the polished accent and
impeccable wardrobe to reveal the complete story of Kate Middleton for the very first
time.
Using unrivaled contacts, exclusive photographs, and personal interviews, Katie Nicholl,
bestselling author of William and Harry: Behind the Palace Walls, is able to disclose
never-before-told stories of Kate from her childhood through now. Down-to-earth
anecdotes of Kate’s academic career, athletic endeavors, charity work, and career
disappointments shine light on who she was before becoming part of Britain’s first truly
modern royal couple. And even those who think they know all about royal Kate will be
eager to learn about the private negotiation with royal tradition that preceded the wedding
and other events that happened behind the closed Palace doors. In Kate: The Future
Queen, for the first time we learn about:
• The social challenges Kate faced at her first boarding school, which forced her to
transfer;
• Kate’s early romances, long before William came on the scene;
• The couple’s heartbreaking split and ultimate reconciliation soon after finishing
university;
• The Queen’s first overtures to Kate as a future member of the family;
• The training she underwent to manage the inevitable press scrutiny;
• The Middleton family and their unusual position as commoner in-laws of the
Royal Family;
• And now, the birth and first year of Prince George Alexander Louis of
Cambridge.
There is no better guide to Palace life than veteran Royals expert Katie Nicholl, which is
why New Magazine raves that any fan of Kate “need[s] this book” in their life. But now,
any fan of Prince George can get their fix; though Kate and William have given the
media only restricted access into their new life as parents, the Trade Paperback of Kate
gives untold insight on George’s first year and the couple’s experiences with parenthood.
And since Kate has added “mother” to her title, her influence on reshaping the British
monarchy and on women.
