Kate Middleton and Prince William are a team when it comes to establishing their role in the monarchy. According to a report, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge carefully plotted her career within the firm to prepare her for her future role as queen consort.
Kate Middleton And Prince William Planned Out Duchess' Royal Career With Space For Parenting
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will play a very important role in the monarchy in the future. Prince William made sure that his wife is as ready as him when the time comes that they have to take over the throne.
Kate Middleton has wowed royal fans and experts with her growing confidence. She used to be shy and timid, but she has transformed into a confident and assertive royal.
Apparently, she didn't change overnight. She and her husband planned it strategically, methodically, and meticulously.
"Everything is all part of a long-term plan that she and William have worked out together," an anonymous source close to the royal household said, per Evening Standard.
Middleton received an intense backlash from royal critics because unlike her sister-in-law Meghan Markle, she didn't hit the ground running when she joined the firm. Some even mocked her saying the Duchess of Sussex achieved more things than her even if she has been part of the royal family for a decade already while Prince Harry's wife only worked for the royal family for less than two years.
But Middleton played her part well and it is evident in her longevity in the firm. Also, Prince William and Middleton made sure that family life is part of their plan because they wanted to be hands-on parents to their children.
"Her royal career has been built in an unprecedented way, upon the need to have space for parenting," another anonymous insider said. "There was criticism in the early days of their marriage when they were said not to be doing enough, whereas in fact they were pursuing a different strategy, with the entire agreement of the Queen and Prince Charles. The priority was for the two to spend time together as a young married couple, and for their early married life not to be put in the straitjacket of royal service."
Kate Middleton Is A Young Version Of Queen Elizabeth
Kate Middleton, who is reportedly close to the Queen, seemed to have learned the monarch's game plan. She is unflappable and uncomplaining. She keeps her cool and remains calm headed just like how the Queen faced even the lowest times in her life while in the throne.
The outlet noted that the Duchess of Cambridge has a spine of steel and Queen Elizabeth saw it, so she prompted her granddaughter-in-law to Dame Grand Cross, the highest female rank in the Royal Victorian Order.
With Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew out, the Cambridges and Cornwalls have to step up and Prince William's wife is more than ready to step-up, just like Queen Elizabeth II when her father died.
"There’s no one else to take on the royal workload — and Kate has very willingly stepped into that role," said royal expert Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine.
So what can royal fans expect from the future queen?
"I would compare her to a young Princess Elizabeth," Seward explained. "Kate has always known her destiny and is ready for it now - unlike Diana, who shied away from it and never wanted it. She has understood her role from the beginning and made it her ambition to do it properly."
Do you agree that Middleton has transformed and is now more ready to be the future queen consort?
