I’m sure everyone remembers the royal wedding, a stunning ceremony in which Prince William finally tied the knot with Kate Middleton, but in truth, Kate captured the hearts of an entire nation long before her marriage, her natural beauty and graceful manner perfectly embodying the ideal for whom England may one day call their Queen Consort.
So with the intense media buzz surrounding the royal family and the critical success of The King’s Speech, based on the relationship between King George VI and his speech therapist Lionel Logue, it is only a matter of time before we see a biopic of the newest addition to the family, thus marking this as the perfect time to delve into the debate of which actresses could possibly pull off such an important role.
Also, I feel I should mention something that should come as no surprise, I am completely avoiding the attempts at American television films that have broached this subject before, namely William and Kate starring Camilla Luddington, and William and Catherine: A Royal Romance, starring Alice St. Clair.

Only problem with Anne Hathaway is her dire previous attempt at an RP English accent in Becoming Jane.
The main problem with Anne Hathaway is that they look nothing alike. I personally think that Sienna Miller would be the best choice then Katie Holmes.
I personally don’t see too much of a stretch in terms of looks between Anne Hathaway and Kate Middleton. Plus, we all know exactly how much make-up and other aspects can change appearances, just look at Charlize Theron when she played Eileen Wuornos in Monster. Admittedly, I’d say an English actress would be the way to go though.
My choice to play the Duchess is Troian Bellisario.
