The new queen Catherine

Catherine Elizabeth Middleton or Kate Middleton as she is known as was born 9 January 1982. She grew up in Becklebury, Berkshire with her parents and her two siblings. Middleton attended Marlborough College in South- West England, followed by the University of St Andrews in the St Andrews in Fife. This was where she met Prince William, her future fiancé. They first developed a relationship, but after a short period of time they ended it while still continuing being friends. Kate had several times before the breakup complained that the media where harassing her, but if this was the cause of the split is uncertain.

Then three years later they get back together, and in November 2010 Prince William and Kate announces their engagement after a holiday in Kenya. The ring Kate got was the same famous engagement ring that Princess Diana, William’s mother, wore. Kate often gets compared to Princess Diana because of her friendliness to the people, down to earth way of behaving and also interest in fashion. She has a young and modern mind that brings a lot of positive aspects to the Buckingham palace. Their wedding will be in April this very year, and people all over the world are excited on behalf of the happy couple.

I really enjoyed this movie. It showed a lot of aspects to the multicultural society in the United States. I think it is a very interesting topic, which is the main reason why I found this movie so good. The way the different cultural groups draw a strict line between the people, a line filled with violence and hate is really bad. They live in the same society; therefore they should try to cooperate so that they can live peacefully side by side instead of being each other’s enemies. I thought it was really hard to see all the hate and prejudices between the different societies and all the cruelty this led to.
