【英文原文】

She is known to us as Prince William's devoted girlfriend - and is rarely seen away from his side。

  But in her schooldays, Kate Middleton was something of a superstar in her own right。

  The young Kate was a real golden girl - excelling at sport, drama and music。

  Kate joined the £13,000-a-year St Andrew's School at the age of eight and thrived until she left five years later。

  She also took part in plays, learned ballet and tap, and was a skilled flautist and singer。

  Just a quick flick through one of the school's year books, published in June 1995, her final year, demonstrates how Kate's star shone。

  As well as victories with the under-12/13 hockey team, she played goal defence for the under-13 netball team during one of its most successful seasons。

  She was also a keen swimmer and athlete, and on prize-giving day was given a cup for outstanding sporting achievement overall。

  One contemporary remembers Kate extremely fondly, saying: 'She was a really lovely, warm girl who didn't have a bad bone in her body. I couldn't speak of her more highly.'
