Would you like to follow Kate Middleton’s royal footsteps? London’s latest royal tour, The Kate Middleton Tour, may not bag you a prince, but it will give you an insight into the princess in waiting’s life before she became the most popular bride in the world.

A tour of the 29-year-old’s life has been established by North Hampshire-based company Mortons Travel, which offers a tour of Berkshire and the sites where she grew up, the UK’s Daily Mail reported.

The tour was set up initially as a one off in February 2011, however, since then there have been enquiries about the tour from all over London, the US and Japan.

“It’s proving popular. We have got one more booked for March 26, but no more as of yet, it all depends on how popular that is and how much demand there is,” a spokesperson for Mortons said.

Despite most recent tours being taken by local press, the tour company are hoping tourists will get onboard the tour as April 29 gets closer.

For £35 ($56.70) the tour starts at the River Thames before travelling for 90 minutes around Berkshire, or “Kate Middleton country”.

The first stop includes St Andrew’s Preparatory School where Kate attended primary school, followed by a tour of the church where Kate was baptised.

The bus then stops off at The Old Boot Inn, the local pub, where she has been known to drink with Prince William.

Following that the tour visits a house believed to have belonged to the Middletons when Kate was a child, before stopping off at the home of Kate’s parents.

The tour’s final stop is at food retailer Spar, where the owners seem to know the Middletons so well they have been invited to the royal wedding.
