Mine would be Kate Middleton , she's stunning, articulate, intelligent and is well loved . She has married into money and fame. Has a beautiful family and her parents seem wonderful too. All in all she has had a pretty easy charmed and lucky life.

I wouldn’t want to be her for anything, especially if she has to watch her DH go off to ‘entertain’ another lady.

Amal Clooney. Smart, beautiful and has George!

Not Kate Middleton, her husband has an affair and she still has to smile on pictures and hold his hand like if they are still in love and together.

I would love to be Angelina Jolie, she is beautiful, smart and she has done lot of charity work. She has beautiful children too.

The girlfriend of an acquaintance. I’d give anything to spend an hour alone with him and have him find me attractive!

Emily Blunt. Smart, successful, beautiful and married to John Krasinki. I can’t imagine much better. And Stanley Tucci’s her BIL, the family dinners would be way more interesting than mine!

Defo not Kate - being married to Wills ‘the reality’, compared to the press fairy tale? Ooft, no thanks. I’d take Jennifer Anniston maybe - gorgeous, loaded, no kids to worry about, and (as far as I know, and I don’t pay attention) single so no pain-in-the-ass man to deal with!

I highly doubt that's true

Gosh no way Kate Middleton - her entire life is just planned out for her, it actually seems really dull.

The only one I can think of is Mila Kunis - she gave up fame to have kids with Ashton Kutcher and seems to live a lovely life in LA and still be the best dressed at the Oscar's this year.

Alexandra Grant. I've been wanting to fuck Keanu since I was too young to know what it meant. This would be my chance 😂

I know her aunt, she confirms the family get togethers are interesting 😊

Probably someone like Lucy Lawless. Just a chilled bold approach to life.

i don't really fangirl anyone, but I do adore the Obamas so I'd trade with Michelle, though I would feel bad for her that she gets my life - I want her family!

Blake lively. Gorgeous, lovely kids, married to Ryan Reynolds. They seem to genuinely have fun together.

Someone like Jane Goodall. She’s had an interesting life and has done a lot for protecting animals and the environment.

Being more shallow, Jon Bon Jovis wife, especially in the 90s. 😍🤣

Definitely not a Royal. Such a pointless existence which no real control over your own life.

Sarah Michelle Gellar - had a fab career very young, can pick and choose what she does now. Happily married. Beautiful. Intelligent. Lovely kids. Seems to have some long standing close friends too

Patrick Stewart's wife or Henry Cavill's next girlfriend.

I've wanted to fuck Patrick Stewart since I was too young to know what that meant! He's 37 years older than me...but his wife is younger than me!

Somebody who is wealthy who isn't at all famous! I honestly don't understand the attraction of being famous. Being well-loved often doesn't last, and everything you do, say, wear etc is constantly scrutinised, especially if you're someone like Kate Middleton. I would hate to be her!

I've said this before on a similar thread - Getrude Bell (except she's dead of course, I'm assuming we can choose dead people).
