Kate was just a normal girl before she was thrust on to the world stage when she married Prince William in April 2011. In an interview following the couple's engagement, Kate made it clear that she was ready and willing to roll up her sleeves and get to work.
"Everyone who I work with I think can see that I'm there pulling my weight and that's really what matters to me," she said.
