One of Kate’s relatives who definitely WON’T be at the ceremony or post-wedding parties is her cousin Katrina Darling, a 20-year-old burlesque dancer who works the cabaret scene in Sunderland.

Her signature act, aptly titled God Save The Queen, ends with her dressed in nothing more than red nipple tassels and a tiny thong.

Dubbed the “North-East’s original Cheesecake Sex Pistol” on posters for her performance, she covers herself in balloons in one of her acts and then pops them one by one.

Her other props include fire jets and an eight-foot python.  
  
She and Kate are related because her grandmother Jane Darling was sister to Kate’s great-grandfather Thomas Harrison.
