the time that Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement. The
popularity of Kate has spread for more and more media. Part of Kate’s attraction is her confidence
and yet feminine bearing that fascinate readers, like her late mother-in-law. Diana’s

Princess Diana, she was also continuously hounded by the photographers, from
the time that her and Prince Charles engagement.
Princess Diana was known for her iconic style
