Kate Middleton's uncommon story

The Reheat

20-06-2022 • 1 hr 9 mins

Kate Middleton's story is anything but common. The descendant of coal miners and subsistence farmers,  today she's known as The Duchess of Cambridge and will one day be queen. This week, Sadaf and Sarah discuss the Middleton Family's meteoric rise to wealth and power and dissect the classism they faced in the British media. The co-hosts will also discuss Will and Kate's surprisingly messy love story, and of course, they'll address Kate's alleged feud with Meghan Markle. Ultimately, this episode explores both how Kate became the princess we know and asks if she could ever be something more than a symbol of colonial traditionalism.
