'Royals' Kate Middleton breaks the ice between princes Henry and William
It was enough 10 minutes, a transparent design of 30 euros and a chance for
Prince William
to go
blind with love.
Her friend and roommate and college student at St. Andrews, Kate Middleton, walked a charity runway in 2002.
A priori, she did not have to have been the hanger for the design of Charlotte Todd, who participated in the project
The Art of Seduction
.
That act was a premonition and a declaration of interests.
"Wow, Kate is very hot",
commented the heir to his friends that same night, as
the author Katie Nicholl
collects in her book
The Making of a Royal Romance
. As much as the prince's mouth watered, he had little to do, since his friend (endearing or not) was
dating another fourth-year student,
Rupert Finch, who is now an eminent lawyer married to aristocrat Lady Natasha Rufus. Isaacs.
In 2003, Guillermo and Kate started dating.
But there were two others,
Willem Marx
(her first boyfriend who is currently a prominent journalist) and Sir
Henry Ropner,
heir to a
shipping emporium
in whom she took refuge after the second four-month separation from her Prince Charming in 2007. In that circle Inbred with
British high society it
is normal for love affairs to intersect, as the billionaire (and former Eton classmate) had also dated another ex of the prince,
Jecca Craig
(environmental conservation officer). Guillermo has not done badly in his sentimental portfolio either, since they include
Arabella Musgrave
(Gucci communication director),
Isabella Calthorpe
(socialite and actress),
Rose Farquhar
(special projects manager at Belvoir Castle),
Davina Duckworth-Chad
(
socialite
) and
Olivia Hunt
(executive director at The Arts Club).
After their
reconciliation
, Kate and Guillermo were joined by an invisible Celtic knot. The most important parade of their lives took place on their
wedding
day
on April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey,
the inner sanctum of the Windsors. Crowned, uncrowned and still to be crowned heads were intermingled with other beings of blue and red blood, such as the
Beckhams,
Rowan Atkinson
(Mr. Bean
) or
Elton John, a close friend of Lady Di,
for whom he covered with his friend Bernie Taupin the song
Candle in the wind
at her funeral in 1997 and which
was originally dedicated to Marilyn Monroe
. What a coincidence! Both stars died when they were 36 years old. Charlotte Todd hoped to receive an invitation because, after all, her dress brought them together. But I never arrive. In revenge, he auctioned off his design for $ 105,000.
In a decade, her idyllic life has been extended with the
birth of her three children
, George (8), Charlotte (7) and Louis (3), but so far this year so many honeys have been mixed with some ice.
The marriage is estranged from Enrique and Meghan Markle
after leaving Frogmore Cottage (they have given it to Princess Eugenia and her husband Jack Brooksbank, who have just become parents of August Philip) and crossing the pond where they spoke with Oprah Winfrey to aerate what is hidden behind the walls of the best known dynasty on the planet. The
Sussexit
has been the last
great crack in the foundations of The Firm
which, together with the recent death of the Duke of Edinburgh (99), has put the figure of Charles of England in check.
The death of Elizabeth II's husband, who suspended any celebration for its 95th anniversary three days ago, has caused the
first rapprochement between the brothers
since the Sussex crossed the Atlantic. After the funeral,
the Prince of Wales spoke privately for two hours with his children
so that the wounds begin to heal for the well-being of the longest-lived monarch in British history, who next year will star in a historic milestone with the
Jubilee of Platinum
(70 years on the throne).
The public behavior of Guillermo and Kate is rooted in the emperor Julius Caesar when he commented that "not only do you have to be, but appear so", and that
Jaime Peñafiel has repeated
so many times
about how exemplary kings should be.
Despite worldly blood running through her veins, throughout this decade she has been learning
how to be the perfect consort to the future King of England
.
That is why, as published by
The Daily Mail
, the Duchess of Cambridge has been the perfect virtuoso for her husband and brother-in-law to approach positions.
William and Kate, at the funeral for the Duke of Edinburgh.
In the shadows,
Kate's cunning and elegance
are fundamental pillars to continue to hatch a careful plan for the Windsors to once again be the emblem of the empire. And while, in sunny Montecito (California), Meghan Markle, the evil witch of this story without gold tiles, is
silent while waiting for the birth of her daughter
in early summer. The arrival of this baby will also be historic, as it will be the first birth of a member of the royal family in the United States, a country that has always shown a special reverence for archaic European titles.
Well-known were the
visits to the Pickfair mansion
(its owners were Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks) of
Alfonso XIII, the Duke of Alba, the Windsors or the Mountbatten
(he was Philip of Edinburgh's uncle and Elizabeth II's cousin), where they spent their honeymoon, or the marriages of the actress
Pola Negri with Prince Serge Mdivani
(brother-in-law of the painter
Josep Maria Sert
and brother of Heini Thyssen's mother's lover, who died in Albons, Girona),
Gloria Swanson with the Marquis Henri de la Falaise
or
Zsa Zsa Gabor
with
Prince Frédéric von Anhalt.
While waiting for Henry to set foot on London soil again on June 1 for the unveiling of a statue to celebrate what would have been Lady Di's 60th birthday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge watch from the barrier of Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace the vicissitudes of his
multimedia family
.
Between the walls of the four floors and twenty rooms of his home, the merriment that his great-aunt,
Princess Margarita
, had,
still echoes
, who gave her sister so many headaches with her vices and follies.
