The Windsors have not been an easy path of roses for Kate. The Princess of Wales, formerly the Duchess of Cambridge, has had to face rudeness and differences. The posh friends of Guillermo, from the University of St. Andrews, had elitist and classist comments towards Kate, who was known as ‘Middle Class’ instead of Middleton. It was at the beginning of the courtship, in 2001. She published it like this The Daily Express. The young, strong and brave, never let those comments affect her. The sarcastic tone was also extended to Kate’s parents, who created Party Pieces in 1987, a company of party articles, which is currently worth 33 million pounds.
Guillermo and Kate began dating in 2001. Their courtship gave way to the official engagement in 2010 and the wedding in 2011. Before walking down the aisle, they faced a crisis that almost ended in a breakup. It was in 2007. According to the British press Camilla Parker Bowles and Kate would not maintain an idyllic relationship and the cause would have to be found in this episode. That year, the consort would have interfered with her husband, Carlos, so that Guillermo would not go ahead with his girlfriend. The absence of ties that connected her with royalty would have been one of the reasons that was interpreted then as a stumbling block. The prince and his girlfriend broke up, but overcame the crisis and reconciled.
After the wedding, the children arrived. The family grew up with George, Charlotte and the little one Louis. Kate’s relationship with Camilla has remained within the parameters of cordiality and correctness.
