Kate Middleton: From Waity Kaity to Crying Catherine

The public narrative of Kate Middleton has shifted drastically, a few times, since she became a fixture of the Royal Family over a decade ago. Right now, rumors of Prince William’s alleged affair, paint her as a tragic figure, doomed to suffer the same fate as Royal women before her. But Kate’s story arc keeps changing. Before this, the focus was on casting her as the traditionalist heroine at odds with Meghan Markle. Before that, she was Waity Katie, cast as “workshy,” a social climber desperate to be royal. Meghan’s absence from Royal proceedings has created a need for new conflicts around Kate – so is this why we’re seeing nonstop coverage of her supposed marital troubles and suffering? Here’s our take on Catherine, Princess of Wales, and how she’s reinventing herself, or being reinvented, as she gets closer to being the Queen.
