The Duchess of Cambridge's school years were extremely miserable due to the bullying she suffered in high school, Daily Star reported referring to the author of books about the royal family Katie Nicholl.
The biographer said that Kate Middleton moved to Downe House boarding school for girls at the age of 13, while most of the students have been attending it since the age of 11. The future wife of Prince William was already in the established team, which did not accept the new student.
The writer added that Kate was slimmer and taller than her classmates.
"Everyone wanted to be the best, the fittest, the prettiest. I think Kate was miserable from the start," Kate's former schoolmate Emma Sayle said.
"It does make a difference going from eleven," another former Downe House student named Georgina Rylance told the Sunday Times , according to Nicholl.
"You have two years of bonding, your first time away all together. Even some of the most popular girls in my school had a hard time when they came in at thirteen."
"Being especially slender and a head taller than her peers, she stood out for the wrong reasons and was teased for being gangly and lanky," Nicholl said.
"It is a very cliquey school and there was a lot of pressure," Sayle added. "The girls were all high achievers, and there were lots of girls with eating disorders."
