In fact, theDaily Mailreported that she was from a long line of “social climbing matriarchs.”
The most recent of those was her mother, Carole Middleton.
Carole struck it big with her company Party Pieces, which sells decor and event supplies, in 1987.

They moved into a mansion and enrolled all three of their children in private schools.
This privileged upbringing is what would give her kids the potential tomake royal connections.
But according to Vanity Fair’s"Dynasty"podcast, Kate was by no means noble.

Despite Kate’s father coming from a well-to-do family, the press largely focused on working-class Carole.
However, their meeting was far from fate.
She eventually changed her mind about where to study with the help of her mother, Carole Middleton.

It’s reported that the matriarch of the Middleton family strongly encouraged her to switch schools.
During that time, they learned they had shared interests.
William absolutely loves it."
