In fact, Kate is the first working-class woman ("non-blueblood") to marry into the royal family in modern history; the last time it happened was in 1660. Therefore, Kate has become an example of the upward mobility possible in modern England, in addition to demonstrating that the royal family is prepared to relax tradition and become more relevant in today's society.
