Kate: The Making Of A Modern QueenAugust 24, 2017

The remarkable transformation of a young English woman. Combining remarkable footage and expert interviews, this authoritative special presents the true story of Kate Middleton, the seemingly ordinary young woman now destined to be Queen of England. From comparatively modest circumstances, the Middleton family could not be more different from the royal family. Yet, this is exactly what William wanted – a royal life combined with comfortable marital stability and a continuation of the easier relationship with the British people, started by his mother, Diana. Featuring interviews with royal commentators Sir Anthony Seldon, Ferdinand Mount, Catherine Mayer, Emily Nash, Katie Nichol and Sarah Bradford, Kate: The Making of a Modern Queen is an evocative portrayal of the life that Kate shares with William - the royal engagements, the excitement her appearances attract and her relationships with other royals - and reveals a woman very much fit to be queen.

Kate: The Making Of A Modern Queen was broadcast on SBS ONE at Thursday 24 August 2017, 14:00.
