30+ Rare Photos of Kate Before Becoming a Royal
A Polka-Dot Affair
Before the era of coat dresses, tiaras, and elaborate hats, there was the era of regular, casual clothing, such as this beautiful sleeveless, polka-dot dress Kate’s wearing in this photo.
Although beautiful, this dress is quite revealing, according to the royal dress code. Seeing the Princess in this dress today would be quite scandalous. However, Kate seems to look as beautiful as ever, and her sunglasses are one for the books.
Driving Herself
This picture was taken on Kate’s 27th birthday as she was leaving her London apartment in her VW Golf. Driving oneself seems like an ordinary thing to do, but not when you’re royalty. We’d rarely ever see the Princess in this setting again.
A few years ago, Kate was spotted driving herself to Buckingham Palace, and people were astounded. It’s not every day you see royalty get behind the wheel of their car.
Side Bangs
You probably never imagined you’d see Kate Middleton without her signature hairstyle. But, believe it or not, the Princess once had bangs. And we have to say, the side bangs seem to be a good fit.
Kate appears to be at an event, dressed in a floral gown and pink jacket. It’s not often that you see Kate in an outfit with a colorful pattern, but she looks great in this.
A Winning Smile
If you’ve ever wondered what the Princess of Wales looked like as a kid, here’s a throwback photo. She looks as adorable as we imagined she’d be! Those cheeks, her eyes, and her smile are all just too cute!
This photo was taken back when she was at St. Andrew’s Prep School, and it’s evident that the winning smile we’re all used to now is something Kate has had since she was a kid.
Not many young women go from unassuming university students to future queens. Kate Middleton is one of the special few living the fairytale that many would do anything to have. The Princess of Wales wasn’t always a royal; some may have trouble remembering what she was like before she married Prince William. Stay with us as we walk down memory lane to a time when Kate Middleton wasn’t yet royalty.
