Kate Middleton: Britain's perfect woman? 27.4.11 FHM
Posted by Jon Moody, 27 April 2011
In case you hadn’t heard, there’s a Royal Wedding on. Yep, our future King, Prince William, has only gone and bagged himself a royally hot Princess – and she’s a pretty bloody great one at that.
Kate Middleton (or Catherine Middleton, depending on how ‘in’ you want to seem with this whole wedding malarkey), has been all over the news lately, as preparations and speculation over her marriage reaches fever pitch. But, as the world goes wild over all the boring bits of the wedding (does anyone actually care where the Prince of Bahrain is sitting in the church?), we’ve been wondering about one thing only: is Kate Middleton the most perfect woman in Britain?
We reckon she could well be, but we need to know for sure. She’s going to be our Queen, after all. So, with the nation’s best interests at heart, we’ve broken down everything that makes Kate what she is in order to find out…
“Wow! Kate’s hot!” Accurate words, we’re sure you’ll agree. In fact, you’re probably hearing these words fairly often, with pictures of Kate - and what she may or may not be wearing come the big day - seemingly everywhere as Royal Wedding fever goes into overdrive.
However, these words are a pretty important landmark in the relationship of our future King and Queen. Back in 2002, Kate was traipsing down the catwalk in a charity fashion show at St Andrew’s university, when Wills turned to his mates and let one know of his approval of Catherine’s attire. Makes sense, really, given that she was wearing a see-through dress at the time...
Confidence
Her revealing turn in the aforementioned fashion show illustrated how confident Kate is with her body and with appearing in public. Indeed, as the great street philosopher Ludacris once rapped, “We want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed.” And judging by Kate’s public appearances so far, she certainly knows how to behave in front of people, just like Luda wants.
Sadly, the latter is still up for debate – our video search yielded nothing but 402 viruses. Thanks a lot, internet. But we can all use our imaginations, right? And hey, what’s wrong with assuming that Wills is up to date with Usher and Ludacris collaborations? He’s a modern man, just like us. What’s so hard to imagine there?
Cleverness and cash
Kate’s more than just a pretty face, too – she graduated from St Andrew’s with a 2:1 degree in the History of Art, where she shared classes with Wills. Talk about putting our 2:2 in Media Studies to shame. Although, we did get to watch Die Hard six times for one of our modules, so that does kind of make up for it.
Her parents are also millionaires, having founded the company Party Pieces – so we wouldn’t feel too bad asking to borrow a tenner every now and again. We’d pay it back, obviously, Kate. Honest.
She cares for her nation’s happiness
Let’s also not forget the feel-good factor that Kate’s injected into the country, simply by deciding to get hitched. You’re basically a nobody if you don’t have a BBQ or something lined up as an excuse to welcome the first commoner into the Royal family since 4024 BC, and councils have even allowed roads to be closed to accommodate street parties. Think Wedding Crashers, but on Holburne Road just off the A2, rather than Washington D.C. Sort of.
And hey, if your BBQ invite has been lost in the post – just like ours – at least we’ve been given an extra Bank Holiday just to make sure we enjoy watching the big day guilt-free whilst lounging about in our pants at home. Bless you, ma’am.
She likes sports, apparently
An extremely thorough research mission (yep, Google) has led us to believe that Kate is also a fan of sports – including skiing, tennis and football. That’s only a good thing in our minds: she’ll basically be just as happy taking us on a skiing trip to the Alps as she would be watching us be subbed after 14 minutes of our Sunday League game, out of breath and desperately searching for our asthma pump. Win.
And the verdict is…
So, she’s clever, confident, wealthy and has sorted us out an extra day off work. Oh, and she’s damn hot, too. Understandable, then, that the most eligible man in Britain (he’s literally going to be The King, remember) has opted to make good old Catherine our future Queen. Looks like the only real downer about Kate is that she’s already taken.
Kate and William leave Clarence House for wedding reception plus Carole Pippa and Camilla
Some 300 of the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's closest family and friends will celebrate with dancing and dinner at the black tie do, which will stretch into the early hours.
The Queen has given over the home to the wedding celebration as revellers including the couple's close friends Guy Pelly and Thomas Van Straubenzee attend.
Kate, in her gown for the evening, leaves Clarence House alongside Camilla Parker Bowles for the short journey to Buckingham Palace
Kate's second dress is a strapless white satin gazar evening dress with a circle skirt and diamante embroidered detail round the waist. William stuck to the safe bet of a dinner jacket and bow tie
Mrs Middleton wore a black capped sleeve dress, cut low at the front and back, with a tiered skirt while her daughter Pippa opted for a long emerald green sleeveless dress with a jewelled embellishment on the front and a plunging neckline
'You look beautiful': What William whispered to radiant Kate as she arrived at the Abbey in a fairytale dress for a fairytale wedding...
After months of waiting, Kate Middleton and Prince William today tied the knot at Westminster Abbey.
Wearing a flowing wedding dress with a long train and lace sleeves, Kate clutched a bunch of white flowers as she embarked on the short drive to Westminster Abbey, before starting her three-minute walk up the aisle to be with her groom.
As the happy couple exchanged vows, William appeared to have trouble slipping the ring onto Kate's finger.
But to the relief of all, he finally slipped the wedding band on and the ceremony passed without a hitch.
Earlier thousands of people filled the streets of London as royalty, leading politicians and top names from the showbiz world filed into the Abbey for the wedding of the century.
