Kate Middleton ‘girl next door’ imagery spilt by journalist

Kate Middleton’s relatability is discussed by a famous journalist.

The Princess of Wales, who met Catherine Mayer at a Buckingham Palace event right after her wedding in 2011, showcased her real personality.

Writing in the Daily Mail, she said: "The encounter helped me understand something about the princess-as-girl-next door imagery loved by the media ever since Kate and William were photographed together for the first time on the slopes of Klosters," reports the Express.

"In the flesh, Kate is not so much relatable as an ideal of relatability, like those spotless interiors created by advertisers to shift furniture or kitchen appliances.”

"I am tall. Kate, though reportedly a fraction shorter, gazed down on me, graceful in high heels. If I am scrawny, she is willowy. Before age coarsened my hair, it earned a backhanded compliment: 'just like a wig'. Alongside hers, it looked like the joke-shop variety, nylon not silk."
