Reese Witherspoon thinks Duchess Catherine is "magnificent".
The ‘Big Little Lies’ star was thrilled to meet the Duchess of Cambridge in 2011 and says she "immediately fell under her spell" when they first met.
Writing in her new book ‘Whiskey in a Teacup’, she shared: "The scream that issued from my lips upon receiving [the invitation] – you would have thought I was going to die. I wake up early, mind you, but on that day I was up at 4 a.m. doing my hair. That’s early, even for me. ‘I’ve never seen you this excited,’ my husband said. He wasn’t kidding.
"Jim took pictures of me in the car. You can see rays of happiness shooting out of my face. I love Kate Middleton that much. And she did not disappoint! She was just lovely and warm, elegant and composed. She also told a joke, and I immediately fell under her spell. She’s just as magnificent as she seems to be. She’s a very compassionate, socially conscious, deeply caring person."
And Reese thinks the Duchess of Cambridge – who has Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, three, and Prince Louis, five months, with her husband Prince William – is a "special person" and she is "in awe of that kind of dedication".
She added: "It takes a very special person to decide to commit to that kind of life, to choose to be under public scrutiny every moment. Now that she’s in that position, her entire life is in service, forever. I am so in awe of that kind of dedication."
