As her romance with Prince William developed, Kate Middleton reportedly received intense royal training to help her cope with the pressures of one day becoming a part of the royal family.
Kate, who will marry her prince on April 29, 2011, at Westminster Abbey, was treated like no other prospective princess within the royal family, Us Weekly reported.
“[Kate] was given royal assistance like no other girl has ever been given before entering the family,” Katie Nicholl, author of William and Harry: Behind the palace walls told the magazine.
The “royal assistance” given to the 28-year-old included lessons on how William’s late mother, Princess Diana, conducted her busy life as well as tutorials on royal correspondence, public speaking and advice on “how to behave at banquets”.
“About three years ago, palace staff started showing Kate video of Diana,” she said.
“Video of her getting out of a car and paparazzi going berserk, so that Kate would know how to deal with it. Now she already knows how this works.”
