Who is Kate Wyler in The Diplomat?
The crisis diplomat in the wrong job, possibly the right one · The Wyler Marriage
Kate Wyler (The crisis diplomat in the wrong job, possibly the right one) is a character in The Diplomat, part of The Wyler Marriage. Kate Wyler packed for Kabul and got London: ambassador to the Court of St James's, a ceremonial posting she's catastrophically overqualified for and temperamentally allergic to — hats, garden photos, a residence the size of her contempt for it. The actual job arrives immediately: a British carrier burning in the Gulf, a Prime Minister spoiling for a war, and a quiet vetting process for a much bigger chair she's the last to hear about. Kate negotiates like she dresses — for function — and the show's pleasure is watching the function win.
