Jittery Royal bride Kate Middleton is being dogged by a nightmare in which she is naked in front of the wedding congregation.
The recurring dream has left her sister Pippa, 27 – who will be maid of honor on Friday – in fits of hysterics. Kate, 29, confessed to imagining herself naked as a worldwide audience of two billion tunes in to see her tie the knot with Prince William. She revealed she suffered a similar anxiety-related dream in 2006 as she prepared to start a new job as an accessory buyer with clothing chain Jigsaw. A Royal source said: “Kate has the last-minute jitters and just wants the day to arrive. It’s hardly surprising considering the stage she is going to be on – with the eyes of the world on her.
“But her nerves have manifested in an interesting way. A recurring dream she hadn’t had for years has raised its head again. “She finds herself in front of the congregation and then becomes suddenly aware she is completely naked. There is a deathly silence – and everyone from the Queen to Prince Philip is staring at her.” The source added: “Kate has joked the worst bit is she can’t work out which parts to cover.” Beaming Kate gave no hint the pressure was getting to her yesterday as she drove away from her family home in Bucklebury, Berks. But The Sun can reveal that to combat the “sheer terror” of her looming walk down the aisle at Westminster Abbey – and fears she may faint – she has begun drinking protein shakes to keep her strength up. If she really did find herself naked there would be plenty of foliage to hide behind, aides revealed yesterday. Trees 20ft high are among blooms the couple has chosen to decorate the Abbey.
