Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge might have won Prince William over with her charm, but did her education at Marlborough College help prepare her for marriage to the future king? A new report has pointed out just how many alumni are now married to powerful men, speculating that the elite school is some sort of training school for wives.

That sounds a little bit creepy, but clearly Kate's education must've helped to mould her into the lovely lady she is today, but how much does her schooling actually matter?

The now Duchess attended the £30,000 a year school alongside sister Pippa and it was through her social group at Marlborough that she was introduced to William when they were teenagers. While the school definitely gave her the social links to meet the future king, could it also have equipped her with the skills to hack such a high profile marriage?

Kate's in pretty good company as a 'Marlborough Mrs' both the prime minister David Cameron and chancellor George Osbourne's wives, Samantha and Frances, went to the school as did the wife of the Governor of the Bank of England, Diana Fox.

And it's not just political men that the Marlborough ladies appear to be attracted to, Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinsten is married to alumni Georgina Chapman while Amanda Rosenberg is dating Google founder Sergey Brin.

The Telegraph spoke to a former pupil about what might make the Marlborough girls so attractive, who told them: "Given that public schools can be viewed as an elitist male club, for the Marlborough girls being inside this club helps them understand this type of man, making them more desirable and better potential partners."

Another claimed the rigours of the school program would more than benefit girls in later life when it came to climbing the social ladder.

"We were taught to be proactive, to push ourselves, get things done, and be happy, too. I can talk to anyone of any age or gender with total confidence," Old Malburian Sasha Howard, 24 told the paper.

Kate is known to have flourished at the school after struggling at her previous Downe House. So could the school been the extra ingredient that shy Catherine needed to snag a prince?
