The “three of us in the marriage” line. The revenge dress. That mournful solo Taj Mahal photo op. We all know by heart – by rote – the major beats of the story of Diana, Princess of Wales.
On April 27, 1993 Diana transformed herself from beloved princess to true icon in less than 10 minutes — and now Kate has done the same.
Over the last 48-hours, her daughter-in-law Catherine the Princess of Wales has just, wittingly or not, done the very same thing. Slowly Kate managed to convert the naysayers and the doubters , taking what seemed like a predictable, safe charitable focus – early childhood – and using it to set up a world-leading foundation sponsoring groundbreaking research and seeking to fundamentally reshape the way an entire nation raises their kids.
This was Kate like never before – emotional, raw, and letting the world see a whole new- and wholly other – her. In a horrible bit of symmetry, here for the second time in Prince William’s life was a woman he loved consciously making themselves vulnerable for an audience of billions. The gutsiness it took for Diana to do this saw her shift simply hugely popular to being viewed as positively saintly.
