As the son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, as well as the grandson of the late Elizabeth II, Prince William definitely grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. Contrarily, Kate came from an upper middle class background. Still, Kate lived a rather lavish life compared to the average person.
According to Biography, Kate was born to an airline hostess and an airline dispatcher, who eventually started a party-planning company that garnered them millions of dollars. For regular people, Kate’s childhood, which included access to boarding schools, the most exclusive colleges, and growing up in a $1.5 million home (via Hello!), was quite enviable. However, William’s friends reportedly shared a different interpretation of her.

“William’s friends, I hate to say it, would whisper rather snidely when Kate would turn up at Boujis which is the nightclub that they used to go to in West London: ‘doors to manual,” Katie Nicholl revealed in the documentary “William and Kate: Into The Future” documentary (via Express). “Obviously, that is a bit of a put-down. It’s a bit of a derogatory reference to [Kate’s mom’s] career as an air hostess.” Nicholls also noted that William’s circle, which included “true aristocratic double baron titles” detested the way Kate’s parent’s flaunted their “new” money. “The point is [they were] sort of so posh [they] don’t really have to bother making an effort — but the Middletons did.”
