@@bluethundervampire8794 I think the dust needs to settle first on that one, it's still a tad messy for the Duchess of Sussex ☹️ not that Anna would say anything against Meghan, there's still a lot of negative commentary around her right now.
She was smart during their break from eachother. She used it as an opportunity to show him exactly what he was missing. She knew her value as a person.
She was like, you are dumping me, oh really? You will see.. Trust me, every move she made was strategic. She had her emotions in check and was strategic, best recipe during a break up !
@@bluerose2682 She wasn't just strategic in a mercenary sense... She demonstrated her suitability to a role amongst the nobility by retaining a sense of dignity and self-worth.
@@amjadom5897, when she went out, she made sure she looked as good as possible. She knew she would be photographed, she wanted him to eat his heart out.
Ever since I started to watch Anna’s videos I pay more attention to my appearance, my behavior, how I carry myself and I have to say I have so much more respect for myself now, I was always so proud in being the one who doesn’t care about looks, clothes etc but I have to tell you ladies you’re not doing yourself a favor.. Take care of yourself ladies, put yourself first because it will show. My husband stepped into his role as a provider so much more than ever before, and surprisingly because I became more feminine he became more masculine and more confident. Catching a millionaire or no, Anna’s videos will upgrade your life for sure! Thank you Anna!
@@rethinks5054 do us a favor and improve your English skills. It's difficult to understand your meaning. Then you can start criticizing others for their manner of speaking
I have learned that no matter what’s the situation you are going through don’t show your weaknesses in public. Always keep it private, if needed take a break but bounce back with grace and with a right kind of attitude and with right mindset. Behave like a queen and don’t let anyone rule over you. Thanks Anna for the story.
Yes, I don’t think it is very fair that people that don’t even know anything about the royal family have been commenting bad things, and Kate didn’t do anything bad to get where she did, she just worked hard and went to a good uni
As someone who went to private schools, promise me when I tell you the majority of us ended up having the same career as someone who graduate from a public school and universities. It all depends on how you network while in those locations.
@@HosCreates I think in the case she's referring to is not *who* you know (because while in that school she 'knew' the 'right kind of people') but is what you do with those relationships when you have them at hand, if you network correctly so to speak, because once the moment had passed (school finishes for example) you could end up as if you've never attended that school.
Yeah, I went to private school my whole life too. The othet day I was talking to a friend who went to public school and said she didn't miss anything. She is far from affluent, but I am not more successfull than her.
That's why I always believe in education. Money can't buy class and culture; but with the right education, you can become classy and cultured. Education may not make you a millionaire, but it will definitely lift you out of poverty. On another note, Kate's example rings a bell with a book I read called "The Sum of Small Things". The book says that the poor and the middle class spend a lot of money on tangible things like branded goods in an attempt to show their status. The rich, other than spending on branded good, are actually also paying a lot of attention on education, health care and child care. Because these are the intangible things that truly help them and their generations to stay in the upper class. Kate's parents definitely are smart parents.
Yes as a financial advisor...I will tell you, my richer clients understand the importance of things like insurance and investments...where some of my poorer clients (who I now refuse as client), call these things scams but will spend money in vacation and fancy bags.
Power vs. Force as example.. Yes you need education or mentor..without financial support.. Youre fucked up.. I mean how should you learn to make money, invest in money.. I hv some whealthy friends& ex boyfriends.. The way of thinking is completely diffrent.. And still these people wouldnt accept the fact of hving some privileges other dont have. They act like im jealous.. Like no Bro.. Show me what and how to do.. 😂Many cases.. They talk a part of the story.. But dont go to the point.. Like they only show or invest in people, when theyre also gaining something.. Like man im asking cause im broke.. 😂Like yes i think money is important..by the way.. No one of them was ever employed! Cause mommy&daddy gave the important support and ressources.. That says it all..
I found it interesting when I recently saw statistics showing that the middle class obtain higher levels of education, on average, than the rich. The upper middle class are the people most likely to get masters and PhD's. For the upper middle class, a high level of education means they can usually maintain their socio-economic status and wealth.
yes but you need to remember that those tangible things like branded goods last longer than 'normal' things. so a person coming back from a poor or middle class background can spend money on tangible things because they last longer. and i know what i say. i come from educated middle class in my country but its not upper middle class. when me or my family started spending more money on tangible but branded goods with better quality, in the long run we had more money saved that we could invest on education or health care and ect. people coming from rich backgrounds doesn't waste time on thinking which goods to buy because they buy those with better quaity ( meaning more expensive firstly ) so they are already one step further from other people who need to think first which goods to buy and re-turn the investment later ( its only an exaggeration and and hypothetical example, in my statement '- the goods' can be associated with clothes, furniture, applinces and other equipment)
@@mayka90 yes, I agree, but buying quality branded goods comes at a higher price tags and naturally if you have the money, you will go for the well crafted item. Poor people don't necessarily have the money to purchase the high quality bag, so they will buy the "outlet version" of the brand or thrift shop. Which is fine, but it may not last as long (unless you find good vintage). And in fact, that is what they ought to do. They shouldn't be spending their money on a $1k designer bag if other things are more important. A long lasting bag doesn't compete with compounded interest, certainly if that poor person is carrying debt. But debt repayment and being financially responsible isn't as Instagram sexy as a designer bag. But maybe it should...people need to start doing stories of cutting credit cards...LIKE A BOSS (until you get rich and they start sending you cards like the Centurion) LOL
I really think her mother was super smart - she knew where she was going and she got there. That's some rare intelligence and strength of character. That's why it's very important for men to marry the right woman, and provide for her so she creates the life you both want to live.
Yes girl you’re 💯 right! I’m sure if it wasn’t for her mother things wouldn’t work out that way. Kate wouldn’t probably have enough knowledge at that age to play it all out that exact way and have the right strategy.
Its important for women to marry the right man. Who we choose dictates the future for generations to come. Just like how if it was for Kris Jenner coming from a small towm but marrying Robert Kardashian an LA lawyer the Kardashians wouldnt have the empire they have today. It was all due to connections
That was more Kate's grandmother, who was working class but very aspirational. So much so she was nicknamed "the Duchess" by people in the mining village where she lived. Carole was brought up to work hard but also better herself. No matter how much money they made, they would never have made entry into upper middle classes -the UK social class system doesn't work like that. It's heritage and pedigree.
@@rsmaier7806 I TOTALLY AGREE. PEOPLE ARE SO IMPRESSED BY STATUS AND MONEY. THEN, WHEN YOU GET THERE IT MUST BE VERY BORING IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY INTEREST OR PURPOSE IN LIFE. ALSO HOW SUFFOCATING IS THAT CONSTANT ADHERENCE TO THE DEMANDS OF YOUR STATION IN LIFE....WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR FREEDOM ? Grace Kelly COMES TO MIND....
@@cookiesarelikecream always using racism to blame who criticizes her for her behaviour, please stop it, you're just being ridiculous. The comment had nothing to do with her race
Being in the right place, at the right time, and knowing how to fit in. You must prepare. You need to be well rounded, educated, and self confident. You are worthy and have quality. If you act disposable, you will be. Networking with the elite means keeping your eyes open and being careful. I find that being able to meet the parents or family members is most advantageous. Politics as well or any circle.
@@louiseleite3866 I'm not Surprised. There are many tiers of social circles surrounding the monarchy. Only the proper blood line will get an invite. Her parents made sure she was able to build friendships and connections. you must pass a royal lithmus lest. Unlike Diana, her family blood line was closer to english royalty than charles'. That's Why she was chosen for him.
NONE of this happens for Kate without Carol. Carol upgraded herself, and her family. This kind of trajectory, to the British Royal Family, to the heir of the throne, is difficult to do on your own. You need family backing. Carol had the vision for the family company, Party Pieces. Carol had the gift of networking. Carol used the family resources to get her children into the right schools. Bless Kate that she was wise enough to heed her mother's counsel. Sometimes, we would all have landed better, while we were younger, had we had an older, wiser, ambitious woman helping to steer our ships. Now look, Carol helps raise her grandchildren, princes and a princess. She no longer has to curate the best life for them, because at long last, her grandchildren were born into it. Carol is someone I would love to do lunch with. She has been an inspiration to me for a LONG time, and will forever be!
I grew up in a poor family having to work when I was a child because I had to help pay bills. My parents tried their best and gave me a slightly better life than what they endured. They bought the smallest house in a decent neighborhood so they could send me to the highly rated public school. I worked multiple jobs to pay for college so I never had time for networking. Now I have two kids and desperately wish I could send them to private school but I can not afford to so they are attending the same school system I did. I hope that the trajectory of their lives can improve by college because I have really tried hard in life but can't seem to get ahead no matter what. But since watching your videos I have started valuing myself more and making more of an effort in my appearance. I shop the thrift stores in wealthy areas looking for nicer pieces. I always makes sure that I look put together before I leave the house even if it is just to run to the corner store and I do the same for my children. I have noticed people are more respectful towards me because of it. I have become more 'selfish' and recently took a trip by myself for the first time since having children and it was amazing. Every day my mantra to myself and my kids is we are going to be better.
The secret about private universities, at least in the US, is they have more flexibility with scholarship money and have more money than the public universities. If your children do well academically, and/or become expert at something - sports, music, debate, art, etc - they can get a full scholarship that pays for tuition, books, and sometimes housing. If you have a private university nearby, go with each child at some point and have them listen to a college advisor tell them what to do to earn a future scholarship. It's much easier than with a public university that has soooo many hoops to jump through to qualify.
I am not sure if you are talking about sending kids to private middle/high schools or private post-secondary (universities)? You might check private schools in your area - they normally have bursary funds. We were new immigrants with no money at all. My first child got a bursary for a prestigious private school but would send her there even if I had to rent forever. My second child was not qualified for bursary because we already making decent money. I have zero regrets for paying tons of money...I am glad to see that my kids have high standards for everything and date people from influent families. Good luck to you!
There's nothing wrong attending public school or going to community college. What is important in my opinion is to be authentic and be who we/ you are. Kate or her support system was able to pay for her tuition for a prestigious university. What I don't agree on are people who keep appearances for show and validation for an ego boost but nothing to back it up. I too shop at thrift stores but then again thrift stores are more expensive compare to retail stores that sell brand new ones🤷
Prince William also liked how her family was so close and warm. It was something he yearned for in his own life but never had. She had something he wanted.
I think this cannot be overlooked. He seems to have chosen well as Kate seems to have brought that sense of the importance of family to their relationship.
@@Mondoshawn i don't agree. putting your kids in elite schools is about training them to behave in a way which is acceptable to people probably already in their class. these parents are just raising their replacements, it's not so much about upward class mobility.
Idk abt Kindergarten applies … maybe primary school ? K1-2 , they so small. they don’t even rmb anything. Primary sch I think kids will start remembering things. Also in SIngapore private Montessori / kindergarten cost like SGD 3000 per mth 😂 . How abt is in UK / US? Is it same cost ? Primary is it too late? What do u guys think ?
This is what I talk about often - generational wealth. And I don't mean just financially but in social status, emotional growth, and other things that make a person highly valuable. Kate Middleton's family's story is inspirational. I hope I can build something similar for my future generations.
Hi Anna, I am a speech pathologist. Since following you, I have seen how much your speech / accent has improved. Your voice is lovely. You get more beautiful every year! Great channel. Thank you!
Can you give her elocution lessons. She seriously needs to learn correct pronunciation. Talk about improving yourself Anna, take the time to learn! Its not cute, and its definitely not elegant !
@@SS-qp2ex That's language for you. People who are multilingual will always have a part of their own language ringed in the tonal voice. Nothing wrong in it.
Why don't you learn how to spell correctly? "Slimm"😂😂. And just so you know, your idol, Markle, wore high heels to Harry's polo match last year in California.
That’s because they have a complete rule book about what these women have to wear and behave. This is not her style herself- just what is required of her.
@@Lafemmefutile Murkle had the same rule book and still was a clothes horse that spent even more than European queen (!!) on her wardrobe and still always looked unkempt und badly dressed for the opportunity. It takes intelligence to make this look book work and that`s why Catherine is able to sucessfully master it.
@@KarinaSwan How come then that Murkle always dressed wrong for the occasion and mamaged to make a wardrobe worth millions to look frumpy and bad? It takes intelligence to look the way Catherine looks, Murkle obviously lacked that intelligence in matters of wardrobe and any other matter pertaining royal ettiquette.
@@maram6211 Oh I completely agree with you on Meghan, but (maybe you know) she purposely went against the royal dressing and its rules in every way possible, whatever she was trying to prove with that. There are stylists present at the palace, who usually help with the whole wardrobe, Meghan also went against them helping in any way. Also, I never said Kate isn't good. I simply said that wasn't her personal style before. She HAD to adjust to her new life with everything, including wardrobe style, that's been picked for the royals years, centuries, before her. And I actually like Kate and how she managed the whole thing, changing herself in accordance to her royal duties and being respectful towards the rules she has to live by as a royalty.
I went to a private school and to be honest, while I got a great education (probably no better than a public school) I couldn't wait to get away from the snobbiness. I just couldn't stand it and some people can't. There's honesty and freedom in not being in that who's who in the zoo etc. It was expected I'd marry a private school wealthy boy, and I didn't. Never regretted it. Many of my friends stayed in that class - some are happy, some aren't but MOST don't give a damn about the disadvantaged and less fortunate in society. They live in an elite world in many ways, and any charity they do is mostly for show. Not saying they're all like this but in my experience the genuine, intelligent, authentic funny and talented people who had to work for it were far better company. Don't mean to offend anyone, just my experience... getting back to Kate, the thing I LOVE about her is that everyone show has even known her said she has always been kind. She still is - that's the magic about her, she's inherently a good person
I don't know about kind...there were many discussions and talks while she was dating William that she was very outstandish and her sister and her did not mingle or even give the time of the day to people that they thought didn't fit with them. Those were very carefully and mysteriously shut down the minute things became serious with William. I think she and her sister are very much like the Kardashians, however unlike the Kardashians they have an image to keep up with now.
@@kanamenoname210 as an introvert who keeps getting accused of thinking am better than other people because am not friendly, I don't really know if I believe that she is terrible because she doesn't mingle. Sometimes people put you up on a pedestal and then expect you to appease to them otherwise you are snobbish.
@@nusaibahibraheem8183 here's the thing, an introvert probably would not wear a see-through skirt with her undies on a public stage, they probably won't go out of their way to be introduced to a prince, they also probably wouldn't party all night and drink with said prince and their friends. She has done things throughtout her 20s that kind of kicks out the introvert theor, so the whole introvert thing is honestly an easy cop out. I am an introvert, but like all normal humans, we have both introverted and extroverted sides, so I doubt that she is an extreme introvert and doesn't mingle with people like that. And if you plan on becoming a girlfriend or queen, there are certain traits you kind of have to incorporate in your personality and grow in your mind.
I didn’t attend a prestigious university, however, I agree that you can upgrade other areas of your life. The way I dress at work, the way I speak, the people I choose to associate with all say something about who I am. I’m not saying that I exclude certain people, but I am career driven and I focus on what’s important.
@@irresistiblep0 moreover , sharing your own life on social media also seems a stuggle,,, everyone's doing self promotion and here the concept feels so burden ,, fear of judgement stops everywhere .
I don't know if she won the lottery in this marriage beyond the title and money that comes with marrying the Windsor dysfunction, but I like her. Her parents did most of the work in term of networking and she build on it smartly.
All families are dysfunctional. No person is perfect in every area at every time of life. And if someone was perfect, no one would want to be around them
@@miggy7165 i agree but i think the royal family is on a whole other level. Hearing Meghan Markle talk about her experience brings that to light. They had concerns about what color her baby's skin would be and they wouldn't allow her outside for palace for long periods of time or to seek mental help???? That's not something we should see as acceptable at all
I think what makes her experience different from Meghan's is that they had a long relationship. Plus, being born British she already had a sense of what the Royal Family was like and William chose to wait until she knew exactly what she was getting into, which is where Harry failed miserably, and it's probably the main reason why Kate ultimately thrived in the family. Not to mention William has always been the most level-headed and she also seems to have a more docile character herself, she doesn't seem like the type to dwell on negative comments (which she has received a lot of, especially during the "Waity Katie" days). Even if the greater family is dysfunctional, it's not like they have to see the toxic relatives everyday either. Like all families, they only have to endure them for a few hours on special events and then they'll go back home to their kids and move on.
So agree with you Anna, Kate's mom is the best mother a girl can have. Carol was a great role model for her girls - the most important component that so many girls (including me) did not have while growing up. And she had worked her way up to give her children a better position in life - there is nothing wrong with this!
Exactly..a great wife and mother is golden...and if you can afford to send your kids to a good school, and they are intelligent enough to do well at school/university, then the parents have done a good job.
I love how Kate never posted anything, not a single comment on any social media. Her quietness, her refusal to interact with tabloids gave her grace and dignity. She has such elegance. If she went o Facebook etc she would have downgraded herself and never recovered. Lafiea should be very careful with social media. What an icon. Something to notice is that the queen also don't engage on social media. A quiet and gentle spirit truly sets a women apart. Something is only valuable if it is rare.
@@KarinaSwan Rule is a "knee-length", for example. That does not give you a "royal" style - you can do a lot of horrible things with knee-length, or any other rule like that :-D
@@marketabalkova8126 no, not just that, there are many which is too long to explain here, including the fabrics, styles, etc. They also have royal stylists and dressers at the palace 😉
I used to go to a church growing up where a lot of rich people used to go to… we knew who they were. I thought some of the boys were so attractive… I was from middle class, but I was always “scared” to approach them or even try to become friends with any of them… it all starts with the mindset and a lifestyle change as you mentioned before. Thanks for sharing Kate and William’s story.
Kate Middleton had what it took to become Prince William's wife. Intelligence, class and beauty. She also had respect for the Royal family. Thank you for this video. Would very much like to hear your take on Meghan Markle's social ascension.
@@Reba24u not true . Her mum came from a working class background . Working class doesn’t mean poor but they’re pretty ordinary and have to work to maintain their life style .
Good to see you back! Kate Middleton is one of my favorite public figures. While I do believe her power to network was so important, I also believe her personality had a place on it. She seems to be such a genuine person, one who has a lot of empathy and compassion for others - something William certainly appreciated granted who his mother was.
I very much doubt that. She seemed pretty sure she wanted William, and Im sure the royal family were checking her out when they broke up. The fact that she showed herself to be 100% classy dint hurt. Meghan on the other hand...
@@marissashantez6051 lol William and the media called her duchess do little before Megan came along and Williams own family refers to her by Kate middleclass. Nothing classy about Her. She would dance topless and flash her butt to people in collage . She stalked William for years and kept trying to flirt with Harry . Waity Kaity is the opposite of class .
I admire kate she's a lady period . She didn't voice her oppinions she just carried on . I can't be like kate in a situation where someone talks bad about me lol I have no endurance for that lol
I feel as bright as a sunny day when you welcome us to your videos. I just love the sensation. It's almost impossible not shadow your greeting speech and answer a "THANK YOU, ANNA" out loud.
10:40 agree 💯 % i went to a private school and i was very mad at my mother for that but im realising that thx to that strict environment and education ive gained a lot of knowledge that allows me to move through life more easily
A lot of people seem to dislike private schools, but I totally do not understand them. Private schools are simply better at educating the students and you're also able to meet people from every class and part of the society there.
I’ve cut people off throughout my life and now at 25 feel as though I’m ‘starting from scratch’ to a certain extent. Luckily I’ve had the chance to meet many lovely & interesting people through my youtube channel, and with your advice I’m sure I can make positive changes to my life ❤️ thank you Anna
“No matter how strongly you feel sometimes, it is important, that you feel in your stomach, that you have the courage to let go.” You often told us about the importance of mindset, of therapy. Here it is: the deeper reason.
Well, Meghan has shown how 'great' it is to marry into a royal family. Where your only goal in life is to live of taxes and attend oppenings of kindergardens. Who doesn't want that?
I honestly want to thank you Anna for all the things you have given freely and for your constant effort to elevate other women. Also, for your endurance because many people don’t understand and have been nasty to you, but you have gracefully continue doing your good deeds regardless of their opinion. We need more women uplifting each other and if we all upgrade our standards, we will soon elevate everyone around us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you’re a gem. My take from this is how we must know our value and not be desperate for anyone that we put down dignity and self respect. And definitely we are the sum of everything that we surround ourselves with. Watch your friends and acquaintances, do they reflect what we want to see or are they degrading us? 😍Much love for everyone here. 🙏
Personality and character is key. The upgrading process is based on each of our personal and individual traits, along with the very things that Anna Bey has always advocated; networking, strategizing, investing in education, and self-improvement. Loved your story-telling talents, Anna.
After going through a tough breakup .. I'm finally taking control of my life by watching your videos and learning do much.. you're such an inspiration Anna .. thank you for your content
I read Kate’s biography few years ago and I started to admire her (and her mother...) from reading her story. And when I was younger, I read Farah Pahlavi autobiography, wife of the Iranian Shah. Just read how they met and you’ll find this maybe even more amazing!
The way you analysed this is fantastic, so well structured, clearly laid out and explained - particularly for those who aren't British and who might not know about the rigid class barriers 👏
Thank you Anna for this heat-warming story about Kate Middleton. She has a wonderful family and a keen sense of self-worth. May they be blessed as their children grow to be productive, considerate and kind.
Once again Anna you have graced us with more high quality content, thank you. Being a teenager, I am so blessed to have found your channel and to be able to develop myself from such an age. Fortunately, I have been lucky enough to attend a private college next year, therefore your advice has motivated me to learn more about the art of networking- if I want to make the most of my opportunity. Thank you once again, Anna 🥰
I'm 25 and feel so trapped / behind in my life like nothing can change for me, but when I watch your videos Anna I know I can change my life for the better
I simply love Kate’s story, she is a really role model, but her mother is my ambition role. I want to know how to raise my doughter as she did with Kate and Pippa. She did the right level up!
Yeah, you should raise your daughter to be dependent on men & find a rich man..prince charming. so that she can become a princess overnight. Stuck in the Cinderella era 😂😂 rather teaching your daughter to build her empire
@Joan In Florida Yeah, right! Queen of England! And enjoy the wealth looted from the various countries across the world. That's never something I would want my daughter to be. What is the point of upgrading your social status if it were only to find yourself sharing the sins of colonizers and imperialists?
@Joan In Florida Good that you realise that. At the minimum, an English woman can start with not trying to find a 'catch'. Marriage and upgrading one's social status is not the sole purpose of one's life. Seek better.
@Joan In Florida She doesn't! Because as you rightly pointed out, she is one of the descendants of those colonizers. And I have absolutely no self-esteem issues, FYI. But maybe you should think about what the Royal family does that they deserve the kind of respect and adulation their receive when so many others in your own country deserve better for the work they do. And maybe think about why a successful woman has to put in so much effort to marry just a rich man when she shouldn't be needing to do that! It is 2022 after all.
I love the dignity she mustered during their break-up. I learned about the need to set boundaries during such situations. I previously felt very strongly about this past person but did not have the strength to end it amicably. It took some time before I could forgive the person, move on to take control of my life, and be joyful, even without someone beside me. Thank you, Anna, for this story and for the insights that I gained from it.
Hello Anna. Can you talk about Vivienne Westwood's transformation? She started out as a typical punk look, but now has more sophisticated outfits. But, I think, she's still being a punk, because punk is an attitude and not just an aesthetic. I love your channel, You are so elegant.
@@kwclove7623 yes, good idea! Anna, check out for brave, succesful Hungarian women!!!! we are all around the world, but they forget that from this little country how many beautiful elegant women made an extraordinary life abroad.
Vivienne Westwood still has an over the top design style so they are not simple and elegant. They are still punkish in a way. When she ran Seditionaries with Malcolm McClaren she used the Royal family as a style influence hence the tartan kilts worn by punks and those fitted tweed coats worn by the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret.
I’m not sure if I feel happy for Kate or worried for Kate. What we see externally is not often reality, especially in the “aristocratic”‘ circles. Every time I see a video on the royals, I think of Princess Diana 😢
I'm sure she pays a high price for that. And I am sure this past month must have been incredibly difficult for her. But if I was from the UK, I would think she would be an ideal queen for the Country due to her posture when it comes to adversities.
Like Anna said in the video, there is a complete overhaul that she had to do to get to where she is and that came with some hurt and sacrifices. The track record isn’t great in that family.
Excellent video. 💗 One thing I wanted to add: Make sure you work hard on your mental health. Make sure you truly, deep down, FEEL in every cell of your body, that you DESERVE everything you’re working towards. From personal experience...I unknowingly sabotaged many opportunities I had because I subconsciously felt I didn’t deserve the best.
She had a boost from mom and dad. They started the social climbing game long before she was born, so by the time she was hunting for a husband it wasn't that difficult.
The biggest inspiration there about Kate was knowing she has all connection and support that she have to her family but the most important thing is she didn't forget how to be elegant and feminine she is to every situation that makes her the most outstanding woman to William.💕
Maybe other girls parents did that same thing as kates did. Put their daughters on the same path as hers orchestrate their lives so they cross paths with william. Kate was the one that succeeded.
Meghan Markle attended private schools and private university all her life. And she literally frequented Soho House in London just to met Harry. She ain't no different from Kate. But nobody points out at it.
Maybe not just the parents :-). I guess when William signed into St Andrews there was an even bigger run on it than usually, especially of young girls. ... And let's assume the palace made sure that especially the girls in the same house as William were carefully screened for their backgrounds, looks etc.
I see you talking about networking and it makes sense...if we think of a pre-COVID world. I watch this video and wonder how to network. It feels most of our lives is behind a screen, at home. That would be nice to see a video on how to network during this crazy time.
Great video. BTW Anna, that color purple looks amazing on you! You should wear it more often! I heard that Kate's grandmother (Carole's mom) worked very hard to upgrade her family's lives, always moving into more expensive areas as they progressed. Part of the transformation actually started 2 generations before Kate.
This sounds like my story on a much smaller level of course. I met my hubby at uni and participated in belly dancing and that’s where my husband saw me for the second time, which is when we first spoke-he first saw me in the library.
Michael Middleton is from an upper middle class background & went to public school Clifton College. (British ‘Public schools’ traditionally are the most prestigious fee-paying schools, which have boarders or a mix of boarders & day pupils). Kate went to top Public schools, inc. Marlborough. As Anna says, Kate went to “prestigious schools”.
Through the breakup, she stayed classy and dignified…didn’t spill secrets, give interviews, or sell her story. He was so young and VERY desirable at the time (those of you who are too young to remember, trust me he was considered one of the world’s most eligible bachelors) girls were all over him and this allowed him to “get it out of his system” 😅- he didn’t want to cheat on her- quite a mature decision…His parents had a divorce and infidelity and I think that made quite an impression. So glad he ultimately chose Catherine as his forever Princess, she wears it well💜👸🏻
I did not expect to enjoy this video but I was pleasantly surprised! The ultimate takeaway is that she handled herself with grace and dignity, and that is something we can all learn from. 👍
This! One of your best presentations, most definitely! Thank you! I like Kate because: Kate is Kate! She; I believe, is not afraid to be herself! Which is, approachable! And, she is not afraid to continue to grow as an individual, making her memorable! She epitomizes kindness, and thoughtfulness! I am fairly certain that Princess Diana would have adored her! And like Diana, I’ve a feeling that she too will make her mark upon the world - in her own way, in her own timing! I would love to meet her one day! We are firmly in her corner!

Kate Middleton is a true lady of class, straight from a fairy tale who commands admiration. I can't help but wonder who may have been her mentor through the years, maybe her mother. 💜🌟
Hi Anna, I have heard you say in the past that you have had struggles with your hair color. I just wanted to say that the color of your hair in this video is spot on! I think it looks great with your skin and just makes you look so elegant! I like the touch of eyeshadow on the outer edges of your eyes, too. It makes your eyes "level up"! A very elegant eye look! Beautiful!
Carol the mom is a Capricorn, they’re whole goal in life is status and wealth. But they also love tradition. Kate is also a Capricorn. The mom knew what she had to do and Kate knew the mission. The stars were just align for the family tbh
It’s totally true! And makes sense. In case it’s unaffordable to go to universities/ private schools... you can work for them! As you said money comes and goes. Elite people also are humans and some of them are humble they can get close to you and you never know they might admire, fall in love with you... NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE 🙂
Can you do a video on Kate's style and physical transformation? I am so drawn to her personal style and I would love to hear you break it down and discuss how we can incorporate it into our own! Kate is so lady-like and I just love it because their are not a lot of women in the public eye that carry themselves the way she does. Great video! I really enjoyed it!
@@madisonh800 I'm her age and I don't have wrinkles like her and nothing has tauched my face except for moisturizers. Her diet doesn't seem to be good and this ages you. She also looks very thin.
@@madisonh800 I' m a few years younger than kate and kate looks 15 years older than me. I have friends as old as Kate who look much younger than her and don' t have the priviledged life she has
It was said at the time of their break up, she went to Mahiki nightclub (owned by Willam´s friend Guy Pelly) with some hot guy Rupert Finch and he had his arm on her all night. William was not happy hearing someone could be hitting ´his girl´ even though he had broken up with her. He called her up the very next day 😂😂.

@@bluethundervampire8794 I think the dust needs to settle first on that one, it's still a tad messy for the Duchess of Sussex ☹️ not that Anna would say anything against Meghan, there's still a lot of negative commentary around her right now.
She was smart during their break from eachother. She used it as an opportunity to show him exactly what he was missing. She knew her value as a person.
She was like, you are dumping me, oh really? You will see.. Trust me, every move she made was strategic. She had her emotions in check and was strategic, best recipe during a break up !
Im curious what did she do?
@@bluerose2682 She wasn't just strategic in a mercenary sense... She demonstrated her suitability to a role amongst the nobility by retaining a sense of dignity and self-worth.
@@amjadom5897, when she went out, she made sure she looked as good as possible. She knew she would be photographed, she wanted him to eat his heart out.
@@tq6tl it was just about her looks. She was also photographed rowing with girlfriends looking happy. She was photographed doing hobbies.
Ever since I started to watch Anna’s videos I pay more attention to my appearance, my behavior, how I carry myself and I have to say I have so much more respect for myself now, I was always so proud in being the one who doesn’t care about looks, clothes etc but I have to tell you ladies you’re not doing yourself a favor.. Take care of yourself ladies, put yourself first because it will show. My husband stepped into his role as a provider so much more than ever before, and surprisingly because I became more feminine he became more masculine and more confident. Catching a millionaire or no, Anna’s videos will upgrade your life for sure! Thank you Anna!

Behave like a queen and don’t let anyone rule over you.
Thanks Anna for the story.
Kate’s family was her most important support network. She was raised well, with or without money.
Exactly.
I admire Kate when he broke up with her, she withdrew from the relationship quietly. Smart girl.
She kept her mouth shut
Yes, I don’t think it is very fair that people that don’t even know anything about the royal family have been commenting bad things, and Kate didn’t do anything bad to get where she did, she just worked hard and went to a good uni
As someone who went to private schools, promise me when I tell you the majority of us ended up having the same career as someone who graduate from a public school and universities. It all depends on how you network while in those locations.
Spot on.
As most say, its not what you know its WHO you know.
@@HosCreates I think in the case she's referring to is not *who* you know (because while in that school she 'knew' the 'right kind of people') but is what you do with those relationships when you have them at hand, if you network correctly so to speak, because once the moment had passed (school finishes for example) you could end up as if you've never attended that school.
Yeah, I went to private school my whole life too. The othet day I was talking to a friend who went to public school and said she didn't miss anything. She is far from affluent, but I am not more successfull than her.
but doesn't private school offer you more network?
That's why I always believe in education. Money can't buy class and culture; but with the right education, you can become classy and cultured. Education may not make you a millionaire, but it will definitely lift you out of poverty. On another note, Kate's example rings a bell with a book I read called "The Sum of Small Things". The book says that the poor and the middle class spend a lot of money on tangible things like branded goods in an attempt to show their status. The rich, other than spending on branded good, are actually also paying a lot of attention on education, health care and child care. Because these are the intangible things that truly help them and their generations to stay in the upper class. Kate's parents definitely are smart parents.
Yes as a financial advisor...I will tell you, my richer clients understand the importance of things like insurance and investments...where some of my poorer clients (who I now refuse as client), call these things scams but will spend money in vacation and fancy bags.
Power vs. Force as example.. Yes you need education or mentor..without financial support.. Youre fucked up.. I mean how should you learn to make money, invest in money.. I hv some whealthy friends& ex boyfriends.. The way of thinking is completely diffrent.. And still these people wouldnt accept the fact of hving some privileges other dont have. They act like im jealous.. Like no Bro.. Show me what and how to do.. 😂Many cases.. They talk a part of the story.. But dont go to the point.. Like they only show or invest in people, when theyre also gaining something.. Like man im asking cause im broke.. 😂Like yes i think money is important..by the way.. No one of them was ever employed! Cause mommy&daddy gave the important support and ressources.. That says it all..
I found it interesting when I recently saw statistics showing that the middle class obtain higher levels of education, on average, than the rich. The upper middle class are the people most likely to get masters and PhD's. For the upper middle class, a high level of education means they can usually maintain their socio-economic status and wealth.
yes but you need to remember that those tangible things like branded goods last longer than 'normal' things. so a person coming back from a poor or middle class background can spend money on tangible things because they last longer. and i know what i say. i come from educated middle class in my country but its not upper middle class. when me or my family started spending more money on tangible but branded goods with better quality, in the long run we had more money saved that we could invest on education or health care and ect. people coming from rich backgrounds doesn't waste time on thinking which goods to buy because they buy those with better quaity ( meaning more expensive firstly ) so they are already one step further from other people who need to think first which goods to buy and re-turn the investment later ( its only an exaggeration and and hypothetical example, in my statement '- the goods' can be associated with clothes, furniture, applinces and other equipment)
@@mayka90 yes, I agree, but buying quality branded goods comes at a higher price tags and naturally if you have the money, you will go for the well crafted item. Poor people don't necessarily have the money to purchase the high quality bag, so they will buy the "outlet version" of the brand or thrift shop. Which is fine, but it may not last as long (unless you find good vintage). And in fact, that is what they ought to do. They shouldn't be spending their money on a $1k designer bag if other things are more important. A long lasting bag doesn't compete with compounded interest, certainly if that poor person is carrying debt. But debt repayment and being financially responsible isn't as Instagram sexy as a designer bag. But maybe it should...people need to start doing stories of cutting credit cards...LIKE A BOSS (until you get rich and they start sending you cards like the Centurion) LOL
I love the part about Kate not throwing a tantrum and handling her split from William in an elegant manner. That's something to be inspired by.
Really? A grown woman doesn't tantrum in the parking lot and people are astounded? lol

I really think her mother was super smart - she knew where she was going and she got there. That's some rare intelligence and strength of character. That's why it's very important for men to marry the right woman, and provide for her so she creates the life you both want to live.
Yes girl you’re 💯 right! I’m sure if it wasn’t for her mother things wouldn’t work out that way. Kate wouldn’t probably have enough knowledge at that age to play it all out that exact way and have the right strategy.
Its important for women to marry the right man. Who we choose dictates the future for generations to come. Just like how if it was for Kris Jenner coming from a small towm but marrying Robert Kardashian an LA lawyer the Kardashians wouldnt have the empire they have today. It was all due to connections
That was more Kate's grandmother, who was working class but very aspirational. So much so she was nicknamed "the Duchess" by people in the mining village where she lived. Carole was brought up to work hard but also better herself. No matter how much money they made, they would never have made entry into upper middle classes -the UK social class system doesn't work like that. It's heritage and pedigree.

Being in the right place, at the right time, and knowing how to fit in. You must prepare. You need to be well rounded, educated, and self confident. You are worthy and have quality. If you act disposable, you will be. Networking with the elite means keeping your eyes open and being careful. I find that being able to meet the parents or family members is most advantageous. Politics as well or any circle.
True well stated
Agreed
She didn't network with the elite, she IS the elite. It's not common knowledge but her mother is a Goldsmith.
@@louiseleite3866 I'm not Surprised. There are many tiers of social circles surrounding the monarchy. Only the proper blood line will get an invite. Her parents made sure she was able to build friendships and connections. you must pass a royal lithmus lest. Unlike Diana, her family blood line was closer to english royalty than charles'. That's Why she was chosen for him.
True
"I am a QUEEN regardless if I am with you or not!" My life mantra from now on 😂
NONE of this happens for Kate without Carol. Carol upgraded herself, and her family.
This kind of trajectory, to the British Royal Family, to the heir of the throne, is difficult to do on your own. You need family backing.
Carol had the vision for the family company, Party Pieces. Carol had the gift of networking. Carol used the family resources to get her children into the right schools.
Bless Kate that she was wise enough to heed her mother's counsel. Sometimes, we would all have landed better, while we were younger, had we had an older, wiser, ambitious woman helping to steer our ships.
Now look, Carol helps raise her grandchildren, princes and a princess. She no longer has to curate the best life for them, because at long last, her grandchildren were born into it.
Carol is someone I would love to do lunch with. She has been an inspiration to me for a LONG time, and will forever be!
Excellent observation. Thank you for sharing
Yeah, she's kind of a heroin. Now she is the mother of a future queen.
She doesn't help them, they visit her, the nannies raise them.
One thing I learned from Kate is to be discreet, quiet, private and grace.
graceful
I grew up in a poor family having to work when I was a child because I had to help pay bills. My parents tried their best and gave me a slightly better life than what they endured. They bought the smallest house in a decent neighborhood so they could send me to the highly rated public school. I worked multiple jobs to pay for college so I never had time for networking. Now I have two kids and desperately wish I could send them to private school but I can not afford to so they are attending the same school system I did. I hope that the trajectory of their lives can improve by college because I have really tried hard in life but can't seem to get ahead no matter what. But since watching your videos I have started valuing myself more and making more of an effort in my appearance. I shop the thrift stores in wealthy areas looking for nicer pieces. I always makes sure that I look put together before I leave the house even if it is just to run to the corner store and I do the same for my children. I have noticed people are more respectful towards me because of it. I have become more 'selfish' and recently took a trip by myself for the first time since having children and it was amazing. Every day my mantra to myself and my kids is we are going to be better.
The secret about private universities, at least in the US, is they have more flexibility with scholarship money and have more money than the public universities. If your children do well academically, and/or become expert at something - sports, music, debate, art, etc - they can get a full scholarship that pays for tuition, books, and sometimes housing. If you have a private university nearby, go with each child at some point and have them listen to a college advisor tell them what to do to earn a future scholarship. It's much easier than with a public university that has soooo many hoops to jump through to qualify.
Kk
🥰💕🦋🌷
I am not sure if you are talking about sending kids to private middle/high schools or private post-secondary (universities)? You might check private schools in your area - they normally have bursary funds. We were new immigrants with no money at all. My first child got a bursary for a prestigious private school but would send her there even if I had to rent forever. My second child was not qualified for bursary because we already making decent money. I have zero regrets for paying tons of money...I am glad to see that my kids have high standards for everything and date people from influent families. Good luck to you!
There's nothing wrong attending public school or going to community college. What is important in my opinion is to be authentic and be who we/ you are. Kate or her support system was able to pay for her tuition for a prestigious university. What I don't agree on are people who keep appearances for show and validation for an ego boost but nothing to back it up.
I too shop at thrift stores but then again thrift stores are more expensive compare to retail stores that sell brand new ones🤷
Prince William also liked how her family was so close and warm. It was something he yearned for in his own life but never had. She had something he wanted.
True ❤️
👏👏👏
So true
Just a class act- she’s going to be a great Queen Consort in due time.
I think this cannot be overlooked. He seems to have chosen well as Kate seems to have brought that sense of the importance of family to their relationship.
Private, elite schools are KEY! Networking starts in Kindergarten
You are correct..... otherwise it’s going to be very hard to catch up! Not impossible but very very hard!
Yes.
@@Mondoshawn i don't agree.
putting your kids in elite schools is about training them to behave in a way which is acceptable to people probably already in their class. these parents are just raising their replacements, it's not so much about upward class mobility.
Idk abt Kindergarten applies … maybe primary school ? K1-2 , they so small. they don’t even rmb anything. Primary sch I think kids will start remembering things. Also in SIngapore private Montessori / kindergarten cost like SGD 3000 per mth 😂 . How abt is in UK / US? Is it same cost ? Primary is it too late? What do u guys think ?

Climbing up the ladder isnt accidental. Good education is about being able to make good choices and staying dignified.

@@chloewinfrey they earning billions for royal Draculas
Why don't you learn how to spell correctly? "Slimm"😂😂. And just so you know, your idol, Markle, wore high heels to Harry's polo match last year in California.
I've always admired Kate and her (style) fashion. Always put together but nothing flashy or "on trend"
She is just a classic.
That’s because they have a complete rule book about what these women have to wear and behave. This is not her style herself- just what is required of her.
That's how everyone in royal families HAVE to dress 😉
@@Lafemmefutile Murkle had the same rule book and still was a clothes horse that spent even more than European queen (!!) on her wardrobe and still always looked unkempt und badly dressed for the opportunity. It takes intelligence to make this look book work and that`s why Catherine is able to sucessfully master it.
@@KarinaSwan How come then that Murkle always dressed wrong for the occasion and mamaged to make a wardrobe worth millions to look frumpy and bad? It takes intelligence to look the way Catherine looks, Murkle obviously lacked that intelligence in matters of wardrobe and any other matter pertaining royal ettiquette.
@@maram6211 Oh I completely agree with you on Meghan, but (maybe you know) she purposely went against the royal dressing and its rules in every way possible, whatever she was trying to prove with that.
There are stylists present at the palace, who usually help with the whole wardrobe, Meghan also went against them helping in any way.
Also, I never said Kate isn't good. I simply said that wasn't her personal style before. She HAD to adjust to her new life with everything, including wardrobe style, that's been picked for the royals years, centuries, before her. And I actually like Kate and how she managed the whole thing, changing herself in accordance to her royal duties and being respectful towards the rules she has to live by as a royalty.
I went to a private school and to be honest, while I got a great education (probably no better than a public school) I couldn't wait to get away from the snobbiness. I just couldn't stand it and some people can't. There's honesty and freedom in not being in that who's who in the zoo etc. It was expected I'd marry a private school wealthy boy, and I didn't. Never regretted it. Many of my friends stayed in that class - some are happy, some aren't but MOST don't give a damn about the disadvantaged and less fortunate in society. They live in an elite world in many ways, and any charity they do is mostly for show. Not saying they're all like this but in my experience the genuine, intelligent, authentic funny and talented people who had to work for it were far better company. Don't mean to offend anyone, just my experience... getting back to Kate, the thing I LOVE about her is that everyone show has even known her said she has always been kind. She still is - that's the magic about her, she's inherently a good person
I don't know about kind...there were many discussions and talks while she was dating William that she was very outstandish and her sister and her did not mingle or even give the time of the day to people that they thought didn't fit with them. Those were very carefully and mysteriously shut down the minute things became serious with William. I think she and her sister are very much like the Kardashians, however unlike the Kardashians they have an image to keep up with now.
@@kanamenoname210 as an introvert who keeps getting accused of thinking am better than other people because am not friendly, I don't really know if I believe that she is terrible because she doesn't mingle. Sometimes people put you up on a pedestal and then expect you to appease to them otherwise you are snobbish.
@@nusaibahibraheem8183 here's the thing, an introvert probably would not wear a see-through skirt with her undies on a public stage, they probably won't go out of their way to be introduced to a prince, they also probably wouldn't party all night and drink with said prince and their friends. She has done things throughtout her 20s that kind of kicks out the introvert theor, so the whole introvert thing is honestly an easy cop out. I am an introvert, but like all normal humans, we have both introverted and extroverted sides, so I doubt that she is an extreme introvert and doesn't mingle with people like that. And if you plan on becoming a girlfriend or queen, there are certain traits you kind of have to incorporate in your personality and grow in your mind.
@@kanamenoname210 excellent comment.
@@kanamenoname210 👏👏👏👏
I didn’t attend a prestigious university, however, I agree that you can upgrade other areas of your life. The way I dress at work, the way I speak, the people I choose to associate with all say something about who I am. I’m not saying that I exclude certain people, but I am career driven and I focus on what’s important.

All families are dysfunctional. No person is perfect in every area at every time of life. And if someone was perfect, no one would want to be around them
@@miggy7165 i agree but i think the royal family is on a whole other level. Hearing Meghan Markle talk about her experience brings that to light. They had concerns about what color her baby's skin would be and they wouldn't allow her outside for palace for long periods of time or to seek mental help???? That's not something we should see as acceptable at all
@@ethereallioness I agree
@@ethereallioness that’s beyond toxic. It’s sick and twisted. Definitely not something to overlook. These people are evil and just plain deranged.
I think what makes her experience different from Meghan's is that they had a long relationship. Plus, being born British she already had a sense of what the Royal Family was like and William chose to wait until she knew exactly what she was getting into, which is where Harry failed miserably, and it's probably the main reason why Kate ultimately thrived in the family. Not to mention William has always been the most level-headed and she also seems to have a more docile character herself, she doesn't seem like the type to dwell on negative comments (which she has received a lot of, especially during the "Waity Katie" days). Even if the greater family is dysfunctional, it's not like they have to see the toxic relatives everyday either. Like all families, they only have to endure them for a few hours on special events and then they'll go back home to their kids and move on.
So agree with you Anna, Kate's mom is the best mother a girl can have. Carol was a great role model for her girls - the most important component that so many girls (including me) did not have while growing up. And she had worked her way up to give her children a better position in life - there is nothing wrong with this!
Good luck.
Exactly..a great wife and mother is golden...and if you can afford to send your kids to a good school, and they are intelligent enough to do well at school/university, then the parents have done a good job.
You really are a mentally strong woman. You make me feel like you are as strong and determined as successful businessmen. I really admire you Anna!
I love how Kate never posted anything, not a single comment on any social media. Her quietness, her refusal to interact with tabloids gave her grace and dignity. She has such elegance. If she went o Facebook etc she would have downgraded herself and never recovered. Lafiea should be very careful with social media. What an icon. Something to notice is that the queen also don't engage on social media. A quiet and gentle spirit truly sets a women apart. Something is only valuable if it is rare.
Members of royal family can't have any social media actually :) the official ones are not used for them.
Perfectly said!
Subtly is key! 🔑
Well i agree with that...
They are not even allowed to take selfies, right?
Kate's personality, look and style is out of this world and the color of your blouse is just outstanding.
Agreed. The blouse looks amazing on her!
Kate's style is from a royal family, not her own. There are rules to follow once you're royalty 😉

Good to see you back! Kate Middleton is one of my favorite public figures. While I do believe her power to network was so important, I also believe her personality had a place on it. She seems to be such a genuine person, one who has a lot of empathy and compassion for others - something William certainly appreciated granted who his mother was.
Couldn't agree more
Honestly I feel she wasn't even planning any of this. She was just living life the way it was coming to her.
Agreed
No lol she stalked William for years to the point the media called her Waity Kaity
I very much doubt that. She seemed pretty sure she wanted William, and Im sure the royal family were checking her out when they broke up. The fact that she showed herself to be 100% classy dint hurt. Meghan on the other hand...
@@marissashantez6051 lol William and the media called her duchess do little before Megan came along and Williams own family refers to her by Kate middleclass. Nothing classy about Her. She would dance topless and flash her butt to people in collage . She stalked William for years and kept trying to flirt with Harry . Waity Kaity is the opposite of class .
well good... because that's what she wants you to think!
I admire kate she's a lady period . She didn't voice her oppinions she just carried on . I can't be like kate in a situation where someone talks bad about me lol I have no endurance for that lol
I feel as bright as a sunny day when you welcome us to your videos. I just love the sensation. It's almost impossible not shadow your greeting speech and answer a "THANK YOU, ANNA" out loud.
Dear Anna, could you please make a few videos on etiquette? The main rules to follow in everyday life including dining
10:40 agree 💯 %
i went to a private school and i was very mad at my mother for that but im realising that thx to that strict environment and education ive gained a lot of knowledge that allows me to move through life more easily
A lot of people seem to dislike private schools, but I totally do not understand them. Private schools are simply better at educating the students and you're also able to meet people from every class and part of the society there.
She was groomed for where she’s at now. That’s my understanding. They weren’t and aren’t just basic middle class
The Middleton family are considered lower middle class in England and there's nothing wrong with that.
I’ve cut people off throughout my life and now at 25 feel as though I’m ‘starting from scratch’ to a certain extent. Luckily I’ve had the chance to meet many lovely & interesting people through my youtube channel, and with your advice I’m sure I can make positive changes to my life ❤️ thank you Anna
Nailed it Anna. Look at the process not the person. The power of intention. Some things are happenstance but you must go through life with intention.
“No matter how strongly you feel sometimes, it is important, that you feel in your stomach, that you have the courage to let go.”
You often told us about the importance of mindset, of therapy. Here it is: the deeper reason.
Kate marrying into royalty and her classy style, reminds me of Grace Kelly. Both of them do feminine, classy and elegant.
Grace Kelly had a very sad marriage though... She was very unhappy, and died at 55
Anna..how abt Meghan story..wanna hear your opinion😊
and depressed
Well, Meghan has shown how 'great' it is to marry into a royal family. Where your only goal in life is to live of taxes and attend oppenings of kindergardens. Who doesn't want that?
@@PosiTiva85 You must understand what means be royal.
I love it when Anna always keeps saying mindset is key ❤️
I honestly want to thank you Anna for all the things you have given freely and for your constant effort to elevate other women. Also, for your endurance because many people don’t understand and have been nasty to you, but you have gracefully continue doing your good deeds regardless of their opinion. We need more women uplifting each other and if we all upgrade our standards, we will soon elevate everyone around us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you’re a gem. My take from this is how we must know our value and not be desperate for anyone that we put down dignity and self respect. And definitely we are the sum of everything that we surround ourselves with. Watch your friends and acquaintances, do they reflect what we want to see or are they degrading us? 😍Much love for everyone here. 🙏
Personality and character is key. The upgrading process is based on each of our personal and individual traits, along with the very things that Anna Bey has always advocated; networking, strategizing, investing in education, and self-improvement. Loved your story-telling talents, Anna.
After going through a tough breakup .. I'm finally taking control of my life by watching your videos and learning do much.. you're such an inspiration Anna
.. thank you for your content
Princess Ameera from Saudi Arabia. She is currently divorced from the royal family, but her story is actually worth listening to.
Princess ameera is definitely goals,even after her divorce she went on to marry another billionaire
@@MissUniverse1111 She could afford it, she’s really pretty
I never heard of her before, so googled her and she's so pretty!!
Ameera was a princess even before, or at least her mother was, I am not sure. But the queen of Marocco's Story would be fascinating to listen to.
(Cough Cough) We are not all ladies, you have lots of us FABULOUS men that love you too! ❤️😄
Ciao, gorgeous :D
Awwwe
Aww I love this comment 🥰🤗 my dear elegant gentleman
I read Kate’s biography few years ago and I started to admire her (and her mother...) from reading her story. And when I was younger, I read Farah Pahlavi autobiography, wife of the Iranian Shah. Just read how they met and you’ll find this maybe even more amazing!
Could we have a video on how to place yourself into the correct social circles? Especially if your significant other isn't social?
Join some clubs or take up new social hobbies and be passionate about them.
This is the proof that transformation never stops
The way you analysed this is fantastic, so well structured, clearly laid out and explained - particularly for those who aren't British and who might not know about the rigid class barriers 👏
Thank you Anna for this heat-warming story about Kate Middleton. She has a wonderful family and a keen sense of self-worth. May they be blessed as their children grow to be productive, considerate and kind.
Once again Anna you have graced us with more high quality content, thank you. Being a teenager, I am so blessed to have found your channel and to be able to develop myself from such an age. Fortunately, I have been lucky enough to attend a private college next year, therefore your advice has motivated me to learn more about the art of networking- if I want to make the most of my opportunity.
Thank you once again, Anna 🥰
Please cover Princess Mary of Denmark. She is amazing and so is her love story with Prince Frederick.
Agreed!!
Yes! I love Princess Mary
@@rsmaier7806 and people also want to love in luxury because why not?. Its enjoyable
I'm 25 and feel so trapped / behind in my life like nothing can change for me, but when I watch your videos Anna I know I can change my life for the better
Just don’t make desperate moves .
don't give up easily always you will reach wherever you're headed just stay strong and keep going ♥️
I simply love Kate’s story, she is a really role model, but her mother is my ambition role. I want to know how to raise my doughter as she did with Kate and Pippa. She did the right level up!
Yeah, you should raise your daughter to be dependent on men & find a rich man..prince charming. so that she can become a princess overnight. Stuck in the Cinderella era 😂😂 rather teaching your daughter to build her empire
@Joan In Florida not related to my comment ... Logic is 0 😂😂
So I don't get it , are you getting anything out of it 😂😂
@Joan In Florida Yeah, right! Queen of England! And enjoy the wealth looted from the various countries across the world. That's never something I would want my daughter to be. What is the point of upgrading your social status if it were only to find yourself sharing the sins of colonizers and imperialists?
@Joan In Florida Good that you realise that. At the minimum, an English woman can start with not trying to find a 'catch'. Marriage and upgrading one's social status is not the sole purpose of one's life. Seek better.
@Joan In Florida She doesn't! Because as you rightly pointed out, she is one of the descendants of those colonizers. And I have absolutely no self-esteem issues, FYI. But maybe you should think about what the Royal family does that they deserve the kind of respect and adulation their receive when so many others in your own country deserve better for the work they do. And maybe think about why a successful woman has to put in so much effort to marry just a rich man when she shouldn't be needing to do that! It is 2022 after all.
I love the dignity she mustered during their break-up. I learned about the need to set boundaries during such situations. I previously felt very strongly about this past person but did not have the strength to end it amicably. It took some time before I could forgive the person, move on to take control of my life, and be joyful, even without someone beside me. Thank you, Anna, for this story and for the insights that I gained from it.
The family support is key
Hello Anna. Can you talk about Vivienne Westwood's transformation? She started out as a typical punk look, but now has more sophisticated outfits. But, I think, she's still being a punk, because punk is an attitude and not just an aesthetic. I love your channel, You are so elegant.
Estee Lauder might be a good one as well.
@@kwclove7623 yes, good idea! Anna, check out for brave, succesful Hungarian women!!!! we are all around the world, but they forget that from this little country how many beautiful elegant women made an extraordinary life abroad.
Vivienne Westwood still has an over the top design style so they are not simple and elegant. They are still punkish in a way. When she ran Seditionaries with Malcolm McClaren she used the Royal family as a style influence hence the tartan kilts worn by punks and those fitted tweed coats worn by the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret.
I’m not sure if I feel happy for Kate or worried for Kate. What we see externally is not often reality, especially in the “aristocratic”‘ circles. Every time I see a video on the royals, I think of Princess Diana 😢
I'm sure she pays a high price for that. And I am sure this past month must have been incredibly difficult for her. But if I was from the UK, I would think she would be an ideal queen for the Country due to her posture when it comes to adversities.
Like Anna said in the video, there is a complete overhaul that she had to do to get to where she is and that came with some hurt and sacrifices. The track record isn’t great in that family.
@@jumafaro Certainly. She as poised and composed as can be in public.
She has William to lean on❤
Kate/Catherine is very, very thin and tiny. She hasn't always been that small. It seems unhealthy to me, and she would look better with a few curves.
Excellent video. 💗 One thing I wanted to add: Make sure you work hard on your mental health. Make sure you truly, deep down, FEEL in every cell of your body, that you DESERVE everything you’re working towards. From personal experience...I unknowingly sabotaged many opportunities I had because I subconsciously felt I didn’t deserve the best.
My main takeaway from Kate's story is that your destiny is in your own hands!
She had a boost from mom and dad. They started the social climbing game long before she was born, so by the time she was hunting for a husband it wasn't that difficult.
That is an arrogant view. Only God is in charge.
The biggest inspiration there about Kate was knowing she has all connection and support that she have to her family but the most important thing is she didn't forget how to be elegant and feminine she is to every situation that makes her the most outstanding woman to William.💕

Maybe other girls parents did that same thing as kates did. Put their daughters on the same path as hers orchestrate their lives so they cross paths with william. Kate was the one that succeeded.
EXACTLY
Meghan Markle attended private schools and private university all her life. And she literally frequented Soho House in London just to met Harry. She ain't no different from Kate. But nobody points out at it.
Maybe not just the parents :-). I guess when William signed into St Andrews there was an even bigger run on it than usually, especially of young girls. ... And let's assume the palace made sure that especially the girls in the same house as William were carefully screened for their backgrounds, looks etc.
I love her humility, despite her status . The fact that she never explains herself is a great trait for women to have. 🙏🏾 very feminine and elegant .
For sure! It’s a very attractive trait!
Thats so true!! I never thought about that 🥰
As the Queen of England, she lives by this motto - “Never Complain & Never Explain.” I believe Kate has caught on quite well.
Best comment. 💖
@@cynthiaavila6844 no
I see you talking about networking and it makes sense...if we think of a pre-COVID world. I watch this video and wonder how to network. It feels most of our lives is behind a screen, at home. That would be nice to see a video on how to network during this crazy time.
Great video. BTW Anna, that color purple looks amazing on you! You should wear it more often!
I heard that Kate's grandmother (Carole's mom) worked very hard to upgrade her family's lives, always moving into more expensive areas as they progressed. Part of the transformation actually started 2 generations before Kate.
This sounds like my story on a much smaller level of course. I met my hubby at uni and participated in belly dancing and that’s where my husband saw me for the second time, which is when we first spoke-he first saw me in the library.
So guy liked a bit of naughty girl😊
@@maplephichaironnarongsongk5485 I think so😏😉
Michael Middleton is from an upper middle class background & went to public school Clifton College. (British ‘Public schools’ traditionally are the most prestigious fee-paying schools, which have boarders or a mix of boarders & day pupils).
Kate went to top Public schools, inc. Marlborough. As Anna says, Kate went to “prestigious schools”.
Through the breakup, she stayed classy and dignified…didn’t spill secrets, give interviews, or sell her story. He was so young and VERY desirable at the time (those of you who are too young to remember, trust me he was considered one of the world’s most eligible bachelors) girls were all over him and this allowed him to “get it out of his system” 😅- he didn’t want to cheat on her- quite a mature decision…His parents had a divorce and infidelity and I think that made quite an impression. So glad he ultimately chose Catherine as his forever Princess, she wears it well💜👸🏻
I did not expect to enjoy this video but I was pleasantly surprised! The ultimate takeaway is that she handled herself with grace and dignity, and that is something we can all learn from. 👍
Her clothes...elegant and classic and sexy and formal and modern and conservative. Love..lovee. just love.
This! One of your best presentations, most definitely! Thank you! I like Kate because: Kate is Kate! She; I believe, is not afraid to be herself! Which is, approachable! And, she is not afraid to continue to grow as an individual, making her memorable! She epitomizes kindness, and thoughtfulness! I am fairly certain that Princess Diana would have adored her! And like Diana, I’ve a feeling that she too will make her mark upon the world - in her own way, in her own timing! I would love to meet her one day! We are firmly in her corner! Expect “Even Greater Things,” in 2021! Shalom! ⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️🇺🇸⭐️
Kate Middleton is a true lady of class, straight from a fairy tale who commands admiration. I can't help but wonder who may have been her mentor through the years, maybe her mother. 💜🌟
Definitely her mother who is a power house.
Excellent story, great role model for us. My favorite part is that Kate always carried herself like a lady, with class no matter the situation.
She is from a middle class family but her great great grandmother made a trust fund so she could go to private school
That's the best thing to do when you want to build an empire prepare for your future generation
@Christina Bonvillian how am I wrong
And her parents had made a fortune.
You are so bright, outspoken, and energetic in this video - I love it! You seem so happy. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge with us ❤️
I know people say she’s boring but I love Kate’s style
Hi Anna, I have heard you say in the past that you have had struggles with your hair color. I just wanted to say that the color of your hair in this video is spot on! I think it looks great with your skin and just makes you look so elegant! I like the touch of eyeshadow on the outer edges of your eyes, too. It makes your eyes "level up"! A very elegant eye look! Beautiful!
Carol the mom is a Capricorn, they’re whole goal in life is status and wealth. But they also love tradition. Kate is also a Capricorn. The mom knew what she had to do and Kate knew the mission. The stars were just align for the family tbh
You should cover King Philip and queen Leticia from Spain. She was the ultimate upgrade 🥰
Definitely
I've always admired Kate. Now I admire her mother even more.
It’s totally true! And makes sense.
In case it’s unaffordable to go to universities/ private schools... you can work for them! As you said money comes and goes. Elite people also are humans and some of them are humble they can get close to you and you never know they might admire, fall in love with you... NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE 🙂
Can you do a video on Kate's style and physical transformation? I am so drawn to her personal style and I would love to hear you break it down and discuss how we can incorporate it into our own! Kate is so lady-like and I just love it because their are not a lot of women in the public eye that carry themselves the way she does. Great video! I really enjoyed it!
Kate has aged terribly.
@@babdullah5025 she still looks better than most people her age, unless they've had a ton of work done.
@@madisonh800 I'm her age and I don't have wrinkles like her and nothing has tauched my face except for moisturizers. Her diet doesn't seem to be good and this ages you. She also looks very thin.

@@madisonh800 I' m a few years younger than kate and kate looks 15 years older than me. I have friends as old as Kate who look much younger than her and don' t have the priviledged life she has
It was said at the time of their break up, she went to Mahiki nightclub (owned by Willam´s friend Guy Pelly) with some hot guy Rupert Finch and he had his arm on her all night. William was not happy hearing someone could be hitting ´his girl´ even though he had broken up with her. He called her up the very next day 😂😂.
