THE Queen made a “stinging” remark about Kate Middleton’s luxury lifestyle soon after she hooked up with Prince William, it is claimed.
The 95-year-old monarch reportedly believed that “swanning from one five-star holiday resort to another” was “not the prerequisite for a young woman possibly destined to be Queen”.
In her 2010 biography William and Harry, author Katie Nicholl claimed that, by 2008, Kate‘s “love of exotic holidays” had caught the Queen’s attention.
She wrote: “If she was not with William at Balmoral then the couple were skiing or holidaying on Mustique.
“Kate was there so often the press dubbed her ‘Queen of Mustique’, a title that had previously belonged to Princess Margaret.
“Britain was now in a recession and such frivolous displays of wealth were unpalatable to the Queen.”
