Kate Middleton's burlesque dancer cousin Katrina Darling posing for Playboy Kate Middleton's cousin, an obscure burlesque dancer who goes by the name Katrina Darling, is about to get significantly more exposed in the U.S. Darling will be Playboy magazine's September cover girl, The Post reports.

"I'm sure Prince Harry is an adorable guy, but I am a taken woman and Eton College men are not my cup of tea - too prestigious," she explained. I like my men rough around the edges!
