The Duchess of Cambridge is about to turn a corner! Sunday January 9, 2022, Kate Middleton will celebrate its 40th anniversary. The opportunity for Arthur Edwards, royal photographer, to unveil an unpublished photo of the future Queen of England, taken when she was still unknown to the general public … A photo that dates back to his university years spent in Scotland, at St Andrews, with Prince William.
Natural face, hand in pockets and pants bootcut : on this archive photo relayed by the Sun on Jan. 5, Kate Middleton appears in her laid-back college girl look, light years away from the fancy coats and sequined dresses that adorn her closet today. It must be said that the snapshot was taken in 2005, when Prince William invited several friends from college to spend a few days on the royal estate of Sandringham.
“THE first time I took a pic of Kate Middleton, I didn’t know who she was“, remembers the photographer.”It wasn’t until recently looking at some old photographs that I spotted Kate among William’s friends. And you wouldn’t recognize her. Back then, you never believed that the young woman who walked through those doors would turn out to be our future queen.. “
