Watch: Kate Middleton channels a duchess


Looks like Kate Middleton was a natural in the spotlight long before she made her way to the royal stage.

In this 1993 video from her St. Andrew’s School production of My Fair Lady, 11-year-old Kate plays Eliza Doolittle, a flower salesgirl who – how appropriate – learns to transform herself into a duchess.

The hilariously adorable footage shows Kate learning how to erase her cockney accent and speak more formally.

It’s a role Audrey Hepburn famously brought to the big screen, and we have to say that young Kate gives Audrey a run for her money.
