Biography
Kate is an experienced US diplomat who has spent her career working behind the scenes in war-torn areas to make the world a better place. She has previously worked in Baghdad, Iraq and served as second-in-charge at the US embassies in Beirut, Lebanon and Islamabad, Pakistan.

She was supposed to go to Kabul for her next assignment, but is forced by President William Rayburn to serve as the US ambassador to the UK, which is a far more formal and attention-grabbing position. She is uncomfortable, but reluctantly accepts it.

Kate moves to London with her husband, Hal Wyler, who is also an experienced diplomat.

Personal Life
At the time of her appointment to US Ambassador to the UK, she was planning on divorcing her husband of ten years due to his handling of the evacuation of Kabul.
