With the death of Queen of England, Charles inherited the throne, Prince William naturally became the first heir to the throne.
As Prince William's wife, it is only a matter of time before Princess Kate is promoted to the Queen of England.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight. From a civilian woman to a future queen, Kate has not been easy to go along the way.
Looking back at her process of ascending power, there are struggles, bitterness, and of course, there are the most indispensable "scheming" in survival in the royal family.

In order to marry Prince William, Kate did not hesitate to bet on his ten years of youth, so he successfully held the fickle William in his hand.
That was a girl’s best decade, but fortunately, she won the bet.
Kate's family background was not very good. In the Victorian era, her ancestors barely made a living by mining. It was not until her mother married Michael who worked in an airline that she had left the bottom of society through marriage.

Although it is only a middle-class family, Kate's parents have always cultivated her by the standards of the society.
In the words of people around you, Kate has beenhaved well since he was a child, and his every move is appropriate and his posture is elegant when doing things.
Later, Kate's mother started with her keen business acumen and set up a party planning company. As the business got better, they were able to send Kate to expensive private schools.

From then on, this family finally had the opportunity to have a connection with the children of famous families.
In school, Kate performed better. Not only did he have excellent academic performance, but he also did not miss everything in other aspects. He is definitely the "child of other people's families" mentioned by his parents.
She is very good at sports, breaking school records with high jumps, winning trophys in swimming, skiing, basketball, volleyball, badminton, hockey , etc. are all no problem.

She can sing and dance, likes drama, and often participates in various art performances and competitions in the school. It is precisely because of this outstanding dazzling light that she successfully attracted Prince William's attention in the future.
In fact, before meeting William, Kate had already regarded him as his dream lover. Sometimes when she was having fun with her best friends, she would seriously discuss the possibility of marrying the prince.

"No one can compare with Prince William... I guess he must be very kind, just look at it."
Because of this, Kate was also joked by his friends as the nickname "the qualifying princess". But I'm afraid no one would believe that this girl who was daydreaming would one day become William's princess.

However, Kate is not just talking.
In order to get the opportunity to get close to William, in 2001, she gave up the opportunity to further study at University of Edinburgh and took a break from school for one year. In the second year, she chose University of St. Andrews .
"Coincidentally", William, who is the same level as Kate, chose to go to the army for military training after graduating from high school, and went to college one year later.

William chose the school that was the same as Kate's University.
What is even more "coincidental" is that Kate and William both major in art history and live in the same dormitory building. With such unique conditions, they didn't need careful arrangements to meet each other at all, and Kate naturally integrated into William's circle.
But at the beginning, Kate failed to take William directly. In school, there are too many girls who want to get to William, the strongest diamond five in the UK, and there are many more beautiful and proactive ones than Kate.

Faced with all kinds of admirers, William initially chose a brunette girl named Carly, but broke up not long after. After
, William fell into confusion.
Not only did he feel frustrated in love, he was not satisfied with the course. In addition, tabloid reporters also slipped into the campus from time to time, not only did he have no privacy, but also always asked him about his deceased mother Diana .

A series of unsatisfactions made William exhausted both physically and mentally. He once struggled with whether to leave St Andrews University and change to a school close to home.
For this reason, Charles once dissuaded William because it would obviously have a negative impact on William's reputation. However, according to people familiar with the matter, the key figure who made William decide to stay at St Andrews University was actually Kate.
Kate not only successfully convinced William to stay, but also suggested that William give up art history and revise his favorite geography. Sure enough, William did as well later.

This incident undoubtedly warmed William's heart to a large extent, but it is obviously not enough to capture the prince by just this. At a charity fashion show in 2002, Kate conquered William with a bold move and became a turning point in her life.
At that fashion show sponsored by designer Saint Laurent , Prince William bought the VIP seat in the front row for £200. Kate walked onto the catwalk in a sexy black perspective outfit.

Years of exercise make Kate's figure different from ordinary girls. The wheat-colored skin and the looming muscle lines complement each other, with a unique and healthy beauty.
When Kate walked towards William in such a dress, William's brain went down briefly. Then, he smiled and enjoyed the graceful figure of the female classmate on the catwalk up close with great interest.
It is obvious that Kate's bold outfit made William feel moved. Shortly after that, the two lived together.

However, William did not want to disclose this relationship to the public. It was not until 2004 that the two of them were kissed by the media while skiing in Switzerland , and their relationship was revealed to the public.
Facts have proved that life has not been easy after becoming William's girlfriend. After all, the two have a huge difference in status. When they stay by William's side, Kate often has to endure William's bad temper.

Moreover, the young and energetic William was not willing to hang himself on Kate's tree. He was fickle and always flirted with the flowers and kate, and his relationship was broken and twists and turns.
But as a weaker party, Kate did not show any fear of gains and losses, decadence and sadness. When she left William, she lived a free and easy life, and seemed to be unaffected by the emotional storm at all.
This way, William was the first to be unable to calm down. After going around in circles, he returned to Kate.

In 2010, William finally made up his mind to propose to Kate after three months of trial marriage.
On April 29, 2011, Prince William and Kate were married in London, and The British royal family finally accepted this humble civilian girl.

started to lay out the plan from one year off in 2001, and to officially marrying into the royal family in 2011, Kate worked hard for a full 10 years.
In the past ten years, she and William have staged a wonderful "cat and mouse game", which makes it difficult for a moment to tell who is the prey and who is the hunter.

Of course, during this period, Kate also took huge risks. After all, the ten years of youth she spent were real, and her efforts to William were also real.
This is the history of Princess Kate's rise. From a civilian woman to a quasi-queen queen, if you want to achieve such a huge class leap, how can you lack some "scheming" besides being excellent enough?
