Introducing Kate Middleton: Britain's Queen-in-Waiting

Studious in Scotland
Middleton leaves Younger Hall after her 2005 graduation ceremony at St. Andrews, where she studied the history of art — exactly the same degree as Prince William. Indeed, she has been credited with persuading William not to leave after he had a "wobble" at the end of his first year. Kate was privately educated at the £15,000-a-year Marlborough College, where she was a keen netball and hockey player. Former classmate Charlie Leslie calls her "an absolutely phenomenal girl — really popular, talented, creative and sporty."
