Bethan HoltThe Duchess of Cambridge: A Decade of Modern Royal Style

I absolutely love Kate Middleton, so anytime I can get my hands on anything about Kate Middleton, I have to get it. It is a great book!

A beautiful compilation of photographs with some fun and informative info in the texts. The author includes facts and numbers, such as the amount Catherine’s dress (worn at a charity) was auctioned for, and costs of some of her rental hats (who knew?) loved the book and already purchased additional copies for my friends. Appreciate that the author kept the price quite reasonable. My only wish would be that all the photos were half page or full page, disappointing if they are too small to show detail. A sequence of these books every year or so would be fantastic!

Catherine is such a worthy study in EXCELLENCE and this book does not disappoint. It is the perfect compliment to Claudia Joseph's biography of the Princess.

Love reading this book

wonderful

I really enjoyed this book. I savored it slowly over 2 months of periodic viewing of the beautiful photos and reading of the descriptive and sometimes cheeky text. My key takeaways from the book:1) The importance of a good tailor to help look one's best - something even a non-royal can afford!2) The word "nous" to mean something like fashionable common sense (p. 31)3) The fun of seeing our Duchess in "peak sporty mode" near the time of the 2012 London Olympics (p. 92)4) The amusement of hearing clutch purses described as "diminutive hand occupiers" (p. 141)5) The importance of a good text editor for sentences like "...of which the Diana was patron" (p. 151) and other clunky passages. Perhaps they had her title in there and decided to replace it with "Diana" or perhaps they just needed to remove the "the" to read "...of which Diana was patron." In either case, more careful glossing of the text could have prevented these bumps.All in all, a rewarding read and a lovely keepsake book I'll enjoy re-reading and enjoy sharing with others for years to come.

Exactly what she asked for

This is a beutiful compilation of her evolving style. The pictures are incredible and well done. This has picked up and viewed at our home so many times!
