In a new book dedicated to the British royal family, “Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family”, the author, Tom Quinn, evokes for the first time the “horrible medical test” that undergo Kate Middleton a few days before her marriage to Prince William.

Coming from a noble family and perfectly educated in protocol, the Duchess of Cambridge seems to be the ideal wife for the future sovereign. However, there is even more important in the eyes of the royal family to be able to access the throne: fertility. In fact, the future sovereign must be able to ensure the succession of the Windsor family. Also, there was no exception for Kate Middleton who had to prove that she was indeed fertile.

“This type of test is always carried out to ensure that a future queen can have children. If Kate had not been fertile, there is no doubt that the marriage would not have taken place”, explains Tom Quinn in his book. In the end, the princess will have done her duty well since she had three children with the prince: George, Charlotte and Louis.

This test, which is today considered by critics as old-fashioned, even discriminatory, was a requirement that many other princesses had to comply with.
