One of Kate Middleton's many charms may be that she seems just like one of us (only, you know, maybe a little prettier, smarter and more stylish and athletic).

And while certainly no pauper, Kate's origins are humble compared to the aristocrats in her social circle—her parents met while working at British Airways.
