'''Princess Victoria, Duchess of Cambridge''' (Victoria William Lauren Charles Cattrall; born 30 December 1992), known previously as ''Lady Victoria Cattrall'', is an {{wp|English}} professional tennis player, activist, and a member of the {{wp|British royal family}}. Born as the illegitimate daughter of [[William VI of the United Kingdom|King William VI]] and actress, {{wp|Kim Cattrall}}, Victoria originally lived out the majority of her childhood years in the {{wp|United States}} alongside her mother before subsequently relocating eastward to the {{wp|United Kingdom}} instead. Then, upon being introduced to tennis by her royal half-aunt, the [[Catherine, Princess Royal|''Princess Royal'']] at the age of twelve, Victoria's interest in the sport would begin to gradually develop over time, with the princess initially taking part in several local tennis competitions herself on a generally active basis. Soon afterwards, in 2011, Victoria was able to win her first {{wp|The Championships|Wimbledon Championships}} tournament that year, after having initially finished runner-up to {{wp|Serena Williams}} in the previous year. Then, Victoria would proceed to win another {{wp|The Championships|Wimbledon Championships}} title in the following year of 2012, before promptly announcing that she would be taking a temporary break instead from the sport. Nevertheless, not long after her return to the championships, Victoria's professional career was marked with further overall success, with a double 2017 and 2018 win so far at the {{wp|French Open}} tournament, aswell as including her most recent victory at that year's {{wp|US Open (tennis)|US Open}} tournament, which came about after a rather contentious final against {{wp|Naomi Osaka}}. Later on, around August 2021, Catherine publicly stated that her participation in the {{wp|The Championships|2022 Wimbledon Championships}} tournament would be her last in her professional tennis career, before further stating that she is expecting to entirely retire from the sport itself on the same year.

Having personally endured a considerable amount of media scrutiny throughout her childhood years as a result of her rather illegitimate birth status, Victoria herself has since been personally outspoken against what she referred to as a "vapidly sensationalist media culture", along with being generally outspoken aswell on other social media issues, which includes both cyberbullying and media privacy. Furthermore, in addition to being an outspoken opponent of {{wp|anti-Semitism}} in general alongside her half-sister, [[Alexandra I of the United Kingdom|Queen Alexandra]], Victoria herself has also become known for her various anti-war statements, which primarily revolves around her own primary criticism of the ongoing {{wp|War on Terror}} conflict, which has often garnered the princess both praise and criticism from the general public.

Afterwards, Victoria's subsequent teenage years were marked with some general setbacks at her first secondary school, though this did little to impede her academic studies. An {{wp|University of Oxford|Oxford}} graduate, Victoria would soon begin to make a name for herself as a young broadcaster and journalist for the {{wp|BBC}}, during which time she was then launched into further prominence as the host of her own modestly acclaimed travel show, ''Rediscovering India with Victoria Cattrall''. In addition to that, Victoria is also the {{wp|The New York Times|''New York Times''}} best-selling author of ''Naked Consequences'' (2015), ''Donald Trump: America's Pandora Box'' (2017), and lastly, a more recent publication of hers, ''The Rogue Prince'' (2019), which subsequently won her a {{wp|Pulitzer Prize}} award the same year.

On the surface, despite being the firstborn child of a {{wp|British}} heir apparent, Victoria herself was immediately excluded from any potential succession rights, as neither the [[William of the United Kingdom|''Prince of Wales'']] nor {{wp|Kim Cattrall|Cattrall}} herself were ever married to one another at the time of Victoria's birth. Irrespective of this, despite her rather illegitimate status, Victoria's upbringing proved to be rather stable overall, as a result of a confidential agreement reached between Victoria's parents with the {{wp|British}} royal family and government, whereby Victoria and her mother would be provided with a considerable amount of financial aid in order to alleviate any potential woes, along with the granting of the courtesy title of {{wp|Lady}} to both the younger and older Cattrall themselves. At the same time, by the [[William VI of the United Kingdom|''Prince of Wales'']]'s own courtesy and approval, both Cattralls were allowed to take up residence at the royal residence of [[Wales House]] itself, which had then served as the princess's own birthplace, along with being a secondary residence for members of the {{wp|British royal family}} in the {{wp|United States}}. Furthermore, beginning from the age of three, despite finding herself then distantly separated from her [[William VI of the United Kingdom|father]] due to the latter's ascension to the throne, both Victoria and {{wp|Kim Cattrall|Cattrall}} continued to remain in contact, either directly or indirectly with Victoria's own biological father, whom despite his newfound duties, was nevertheless able to travel abroad to the {{wp|United States}} on various occasions, thereby allowing a young Victoria to establish a rather respectful and warm relationship with her own biological father. On the other hand, following the marriage between Victoria's mother to an {{wp|American}} audio equipment designer, {{wp|Mark Levinson}} in 1998, a then six year old Victoria was said to had a rather "dismissive and indifferent" approach towards her stepfather in particular, with the older {{wp|Kim Cattrall|Cattrall}} herself later noting on how a young Victoria would "burst into leaps of joy in the presence of her biological father, while otherwise receding into a state of moodiness in the presence of her stepfather instead".

In addition to that, Victoria's apparent interest in the game of tennis would also begin to develop over time, as a result of the young princess herself being exposed to the sport itself by her own father during his many visits to their {{wp|New York (state)|New York}} home. Soon, it was not long before Victoria's own interest in the sport would quickly catch her father's eye, leading the latter to subsequently have the young princess enrolled in a tennis academy for children, thereby allowing her to hone her skills further in the sport, particularly during the weekends, when she would often have the most amount of time available to spend at the academy.

Even then, despite afterwards relocating to the {{wp|United Kingdom}}, Victoria's passion for the sport remained generally unfazed by this new transition, although her interests in other sports aswell would also begin to develop, with other sports such as football and archery gradually becoming one of Victoria's many preferred sports during her occasional free times.   


Afterwards, beginning from the age of seven, under the direct sponsorship of her own biological father abroad, Victoria was enrolled in her first educational institution, namely the {{wp|Westmere Elementary School}}, located in {{wp|Albany, New York|Albany}}, {{wp|New York (state)|New York}}, and not far from their own [[Wales House]] residence nearby. However, unbeknownst to the young Victoria, in a joint concerted effort involving both her {{wp|Kim Cattrall|mother}} and the school's administrators, Victoria, in addition to being officially enrolled in the school under her own full name, would also have her then stepfather, {{wp|Mark Levinson}} be documented as her official father instead, in a ruse meant to allow the young Victoria to undergo a relatively normal life in public without also attracting unwanted attention arising from her own controversial biological ties to her [[William VI of the United Kingdom|father]], whom was the reigning {{wp|British}} monarch at the time. However, while the ruse itself proved to be overall successful in its primary intention, it was otherwise believed that on the other hand, it also contributed significantly to the deterioration in the already strained relationship between Victoria and her stepfather, {{wp|Mark Levinson}}, whose mandated appearances at events held by the school in the place of Victoria's own biological father proving to be a major sore spot for herself.

Eventually, around 2003, after just three years into learning at her {{wp|New York (state)|New York}} {{wp|Westmere Elementary School|primary school}}, a now ten year old Victoria subsequently found herself relocating eastward to the {{wp|United Kingdom}}, following a contentious divorce involving her {{wp|Kim Cattrall|mother}} and {{wp|Mark Levinson|stepfather}}, which was reportedly caused by Victoria's {{wp|Kim Cattrall|mother}} having accepted an offer from Victoria's own biological father, [[William VI of the United Kingdom|King William VI]], to begin living in the {{wp|United Kingdom}} instead, where the latter believed that the young soon-to-be princess would be more accustomed to, an assumption made more plausible by the fact that both [[William VI of the United Kingdom|William]] and Victoria have already shared a deeply respectful and loving relationship with one another, despite their years' long separation. Soon enough, the two's initially concealed entry into the {{wp|United Kingdom}} would eventually become known to the general {{wp|British}} public, when the two were photographed together with the main members of the {{wp|British royal family}} in an official {{wp|Christmas}}-themed photograph that year marking their apparent official inclusion into the rest of the royal family itself.

Early Life

Victoria was born on December 30th 1992 as the firstborn but illegitimate child of William, Prince of Wales and English-Canadian actress, Kim Cattrall. Born Victoria William Lauren Charles Cattrall, she was first named after her own mother, whose full name was Kim Victoria Cattrall, followed by the likes of her own father, William, Prince of Wales and afterwards her own paternal grandparents, namely King Charles III and Queen Lauren themselves, while also sharing her mother's distinct Cattrall family name.

On the surface, despite being the firstborn child of a British heir apparent, Victoria herself was immediately excluded from any potential succession rights, as neither the Prince of Wales nor Cattrall herself were ever married to one another at the time of Victoria's birth. Irrespective of this, despite her rather illegitimate status, Victoria's upbringing proved to be rather stable overall, as a result of a confidential agreement reached between Victoria's parents with the British royal family and government, whereby Victoria and her mother would be provided with a considerable amount of financial aid in order to alleviate any potential woes, along with the granting of the courtesy title of Lady to both the younger and older Cattrall themselves. At the same time, by the Prince of Wales's own courtesy and approval, both Cattralls were allowed to take up residence at the royal residence of Wales House itself, which had then served as the princess's own birthplace, along with being a secondary residence for members of the British royal family in the United States. Furthermore, beginning from the age of three, despite finding herself then distantly separated from her father due to the latter's ascension to the throne, both Victoria and Cattrall continued to remain in contact, either directly or indirectly with Victoria's own biological father, whom despite his newfound duties, was nevertheless able to travel abroad to the United States on various occasions, thereby allowing a young Victoria to establish a rather respectful and warm relationship with her own biological father. On the other hand, following the marriage between Victoria's mother to an American audio equipment designer, Mark Levinson in 1998, a then six year old Victoria was said to had a rather "dismissive and indifferent" approach towards her stepfather in particular, with the older Cattrall herself later noting on how a young Victoria would "burst into leaps of joy in the presence of her biological father, while otherwise receding into a state of moodiness in the presence of her stepfather instead".

In addition to that, Victoria's lifelong interest in the game of tennis would also begin to develop over time, as a result of her having been exposed to the sport itself by her father during the latter's many visits to their New York home. Soon enough, it was not long before Victoria's own interest in the sport would quickly catch her father's eye, leading the latter to subsequently have the young princess enrolled at a tennis academy for children, thereby allowing her to hone her skills further in the sport, particularly during the weekends, when she would often have the most amount of time available to spend at the academy. Even then, despite afterwards relocating to the United Kingdom, Victoria's passion for the sport remained generally unfazed by this new transition, although her interests in other sports aswell would also begin to develop, with other sports such as football and archery gradually becoming one of Victoria's many preferred sports during her occasional free times.

Afterwards, beginning from the age of seven, under the direct sponsorship of her own biological father abroad, Victoria was enrolled in her first educational institution, namely the Westmere Elementary School, located in Albany, New York, and not far from their own Wales House residence nearby. However, unbeknownst to the young Victoria, in a joint concerted effort involving both her mother and the school's administrators, Victoria, in addition to being officially enrolled in the school under her own full name, would also have her then stepfather, Mark Levinson be documented as her official father instead, in a ruse meant to allow the young Victoria to undergo a relatively normal life in public without also attracting unwanted attention arising from her own controversial biological ties to her father, whom was the reigning British monarch at the time. However, while the ruse itself proved to be overall successful in its primary intention, it was otherwise believed that on the other hand, it also contributed significantly to the deterioration in the already strained relationship between Victoria and her stepfather, Mark Levinson, whose mandated appearances at events held by the school in the place of Victoria's own biological father proving to be a major sore spot for herself.

Moving to the United Kingdom

Eventually, around 2003, after just three years into learning at her New York primary school, a now ten year old Victoria subsequently found herself relocating eastward to the United Kingdom, following a contentious divorce involving her mother and stepfather, which was reportedly caused by Victoria's mother having accepted an offer from Victoria's own biological father, King William VI, to begin living in the United Kingdom instead, where the latter believed that the young soon-to-be princess would be more accustomed to, an assumption made more plausible by the fact that both William and Victoria have already shared a deeply respectful and loving relationship with one another, despite their years' long separation. Soon enough, the two's initially concealed entry into the United Kingdom would eventually become known to the general British public, when the two were photographed together with the main members of the British royal family in an official Christmas-themed photograph that year marking their apparent official inclusion into the rest of the royal family itself.

Soon afterwards, in adjusting to their new life in the United Kingdom, both Victoria and Cattrall would begin to appear more frequently alongside members of the royal family in public events and alike, while Victoria, along with her younger half-sister, Alexandra, were then enrolled together at the Primrose Hill Primary School in London, where Victoria, despite finding herself somewhat initially isolated from her new classmates for the first few days or so, was nevertheless able to perform "exceedingly well" in her studies, particularly in the subjects of Science and Physical Education. Then, upon completing her last two primary education years at the school, she was afterwards enrolled at the Regent High School, London for her subsequent secondary school years. Almost immediately, in contrast to her primary school years, which Victoria personally described as "rather merrily and blissful throughout", her secondary school years however would later be spoken about by the princess in a more negative light, with the princess herself later revealing how she was reportedly subjected to "near-constant verbal bullying" by her classmates, whom according to Victoria herself, would often harass or ridicule the princess due to her infamous status as a royal bastard. As a result, after just a couple of months into her studies there, with reasons primarily including her initially poor academic performance to her almost frequent engagement in physical altercations on school grounds with her tormentors, Victoria herself, along with a number of her tormentors, were ultimately expelled from the school by the school's administrators, although thanks to an intervention by Victoria's father, the real reasons behind Victoria's expulsion from the school were ultimately kept hidden by the school administrators themselves, in an effort to avoid the teenage princess's academic future being jeapordised by virtue of the princess being tied back to her issues at her previous secondary school.

Nevertheless, not long after she was first expelled from Regent High School, Victoria herself was subsequently enrolled at an entirely new secondary school of her own, namely the all-girls Wimbledon High School. Almost immediately, this transition proved to be an overall success in alleviating Victoria's past setbacks at her previous secondary school, with the teachers at Victoria's new secondary school themselves being quick to positively report on Victoria's academic progress there, with one report in particular mentioning her "commanding and authoritative character", while another progress report specifically praised the princess's "untainted concentration towards her academic studies in general".
