Report claims the Duchess of Cambridge has placed A-list star on a pedestal

Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is completely obsessed with Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, says a new report. From the humanitarian work to her career and, last but not least, her weight, Kate wants to emulate Angie in everything.

A new report in OK! Magazine claims that the Duchess has been admiring Jolie from a distance for a very long while, perhaps secretly dreaming of one day having her enchanted life.

It wasn't, however, until her wedding to Prince William that she got to resemble her idol.

In the months leading up to the momentous event, Kate went on a strict diet and workout routine to be in top shape for the big day.

She's been losing weight ever since, if one is to believe ongoing reports.

“Kate adores how Angelina’s always so graceful and elegant and makes everything look so effortless,” an unnamed but admittedly reliable source dishes for the mag.

“Since [the wedding], she has cut down on food even more. Kate now has the build of a supermodel and can’t believe she’s giving her hero, Angelina, a run for her money on the red carpet,” adds the insider.

Luckily, that's not the only thing for which Kate is reportedly looking up to Jolie. She also wants to emulate her in her humanitarian work and, if possible, adoption.

“She has always said how much she’d like to adopt a couple of kids, just like Angelina. She and Wills think it would be a really modern thing to do,” says an insider.

The Duchess also wants to become more involved in charity work sometime soon. For it, she's using Princess Diana and the same Angelina as role models, with one being very active in AIDS and anti-land mines campaigns, and the other working as a UN Goodwill Ambassador.

“Kate intends to show the world she’s a strong, independent woman – just like Angie,” says the spy.
