Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, is the daughter of a wealthy upper-middle class family. She was not the first commoner to marry into royalty, beaten out by Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, Queen Elizabeth and Anne Boleyn who were all classified as commoners in the strictest sense, despite being members of aristocratic or distinctly upper-class families. So how did Kate come to break through royal traditions and bring about modernity to this famous family?
Kate Middelton was the first royal bride to have a university degree.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.
They both met as first year students in residence at St Salvator’s Hall.
The couple began dating in 2003 after Kate had broken up with her long-term boyfriend.
She graduated from university in 2005 with a masters in history of art.

Prince Andrew’s ex-wife Sarah Ferguson also did not take to academics.
Instead her skillset showed her talents lay in swimming and tennis.
After she completed a secretarial course, Sarah worked for an art gallery, in public relations and then a publishing company.
Her ex-husband Andrew is the second of the Queen and Prince Philip’s children not to have attended university, but instead immediately entered the navy.
Their two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie however did attend university, to Goldsmith’s College, London, and Newcastle University respectively.
Princess Anne, a born royal, also did not attend university.
Like her mother the Queen, she began her work as a working member of the royal family after she completed her schooling.
Her schooling took place at Beneden School, a private all-girls boarding school in Kent.
Inheriting her mother’s life long love affair with horses, Anne rode competitively throughout her childhood, even going on to compete in the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games as part of the British Three-Day Event team.
The Queen’s youngest son Prince Edward’s wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, did not undertake a university education either.
Instead, Sophie trained as a secretary at West Kent College in Tonbridge before she started a career in public relations.
She worked in public relations until 1992, but now works as a full-time working member of the royal family.
But, where did the other members of the royal family study?
- Prince William - University of St Andrews
- Prince Charles - Cambridge University
- Peter Philips - Exeter University
- Zara Tindall - Exeter University
- Prince Edward - Cambridge University
