Katharine has managed to shun the spotlight to follow her own passions for the past few decades.
Let’s find out.
Of course, a royal wedding outfit wouldn’t be complete without a tiara to top it off.
Katharine’s piece was borrowed from her mother-in-law, Princess Marina, and previously belonged to Queen Mary.
And let’s face it, the Windsors aren’t short on space.
Multiple royals past and present have called Kensington Palace home.
As for history, the house isn’t short on that, either.
Before it became a home for members of the House of Windsor, it was actually staff accommodation.
Though Katharine may have left Hovingham Hall long ago, her family still owns the impressive property.
The estate is a focus for the family and the community.
It is not mine to sell but to keep going as a family estate."
Amazingly, Katharine didn’t just retire to live a quiet life.
She taught at a primary school in Hull for over a decade, flying under the radar.
As Katharine told theTelegraph, “Only the head knew who I was.
The parents didn’t know and the pupils didn’t know.
No one ever noticed.
There was no publicity about it at all it just seemed to work.”
What did Queen Elizabeth II make of it all?
“The Queen said: ‘Yes, go and do it,’ so I did.”
However, when asked if she liked Kanye West or Stormzy, she was a solid “No.”
The duchess finished the subject by saying: “My husband likes music but very serious music.
I’ll listen to anything.
I even like beatboxing.”
She even studied the art at one of Britain’s most prestigious schools, Queen’s College in Oxford.
Perhaps one of her most interesting musical accomplishments came in 2004 when she founded the charity Future Talent.
Something had to be done!"
But when you get to that age, you’re under no obligations from anyone.
If you’ll be seen by thousands of people, you may as well have fun with it.
