Kate Middleton Gave Up THIS Dream For Prince William

Kate Middleton may appear to be living a charmed life now, with Prince William as her husband and three adorable kids, but being a royal did entail her to make some sacrifices. One of these sacrifices is her dream career, which she has to let go of, to be the Duchess of Cambridge.

It can be remembered that Middleton is not a born royal. She did have a very normal childhood growing up, having real career dreams she wanted to pursue when she grew up. She also took the steps to achieve her dreams just like any other British individual, completing a History of Arts Degree at the University of St. Andrews in 2005. Fate has other plans for her.

Since she studied at the University of St. Andrews, she was able to meet Prince William and catch his attention. The two entered into a relationship. Still, despite dating a royal, she persisted in being normal, never flaunting this dream-like relationship.

Instead, she continued to work for Party Pieces after graduating, which is the party goods business her parents Carole and Michale Middleton owned. She handled the designing of catalogs, marketing, and photography aspects of the business.

She also had a stint at Jigsaw Junior, a London-based clothing store. According to the store’s owner, Belle Robinson, Middleton never flaunted what she had with Prince Harry. Ms. Robinson told the Evening Standard: “She sat in the kitchen at lunchtime and chatted with everyone from the van drivers to the account girls.” Moreover, at the time, Middleton was looking to pursue a career in photography.

She eventually gave it up so she could be William's wife.

Despite this sacrifice though, Middleton never had to stop practicing her passion. Even if she does not become a professional photographer, her skills are still recognized by the Palace. She became an Honorary Member of the Royal Photographic Society just recently. The patronage was handed over by the Queen herself.

When announced, Kensington Palace wrote in a statement: “The Duchess of Cambridge has a longstanding interest in photography, and this patronage will further highlight the beneficial impact art and creativity can have on emotional wellbeing, particularly for children and young people.”
