Katrina is Kate Middleton’s cousin. She quit her job as a banker to focus on her burlesque career after gaining notoriety before the Royal Wedding when her relation to Kate Middleton was revealed.
The Duchess of Cambridge’s great-grandfather Thomas Harrison was the brother of Katrina’s grandmother, making the women second cousins, once removed. The dancer plays up to her royal relation by performing a stripping routine to God Save the Queen. She added: “The great thing about burlesque is that it’s stripping but with the theatrics of things like ballet, magic, and aerial, and it has an element of comedy.” Heavily tattooed Katrina told Inked: “I slowed the pace down a little bit because I don’t want to run out of good real estate too early. I still want to be getting tattoos when I am an older lady.”
Editor-in-Chief Rocky Rakovic said: “Katrina Darling drips with sexuality, grace and tattoo ink—making her the modern day embodiment of the pin-up queens of yore. “The future of mainstream sensuality is feminine figures enhanced by tattoo art.” (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/kate-middletons-burlesque-dancer-cousin-3025305#ixzz31Jw8D700)
