2024 - Kate Middleton: pants legs of eph and hands in the pockets, this exhumed photo never revealed

Fifteen years later, photographer Arthur Edwards unearthed an unpublished photo of Kate Middleton published in the Sun this Thursday, January 6. A shot in which we discover the future Duchess of Cambridge, still a student, in a very simple style.

Kate Middleton is today one of the UK’s most photographed personalities. But this has not always been the case. Arthur Edwards, the newspaper royalty photographer The Sun, recently emerged an old unpublished snapshot of Prince William’s wife. A photo from 2005, when the Duchess of Cambridge was still just a student “timid”. “I had no idea who she was at all”, he admitted in an article in the Sun on Thursday, January 6.

On the photo, we discover Kate Middleton, surrounded by a group of friends invited by Prince William to spend the weekend in Sandringham. The young woman is dressed in a casual style, with placket jeans, a scarf and a khaki jacket on the shoulders. “You would never have recognized her “, said Arthur Edwards, before adding: “At the time you would never have believed that the young woman who walked through these doors would become our future queen. Kate is now the ultimate media star. “

Kate Middleton “overcame her shyness”

Six years after this photo, Kate Middleton officially became Duchess of Cambridge by marrying Prince William, was able to assert herself and make herself a place of choice within the British royal family, as the photographer explained: “She changes, she overcomes her natural shyness and gains confidence. She is intelligent, pays great attention to detail and is never wrong “. A necessary flawlessness when you become one of the most scrutinized women by the media around the world. “Every time she goes out, it ends up in the diary, just like Diana. Diana has once been described as a cross between Cindy Crawford and Mother Teresa, and I’m starting to think the Duchess of Cambridge is in the same mold “, concluded Anthony Edwards.
