Princess Kate has been preparing for years to get ready for what lies ahead of her, as she is set to become our Queen Consort when William takes the throne
When Kate officially joined the Royal Family upon her marriage to Prince William, she became the future Queen and began a years-long program of training that would prepare her fully for the role that lies ahead of her.
And a royal expert has revealed that there’s one “clever” way the Palace has helped train the Princess of Wales to one day become Queen Consort when William takes the throne when the time comes. Their plan has helped Kate over the last decade to get ready for what will be the biggest job of her life, but she has already completed one key part of it.
Katie Nicholl, royal author, explained that one aspect of Kate’s job was completed when Prince George was born, because she provided the Windsor’s with an heir, and secured the line of succession. This is, however, only one aspect of the future Queen’s job, and she has also had to learn how to embody the role itself.
The expert explained back in 2020, in True Royalty’s Kate: The Making of a Future Queen: “There are two roles to a future Queen. One is to produce heirs, which she has done, and the other is to learn how to one day become Queen and that is very much what we are seeing. We are seeing a Queen-in-waiting. We are seeing the Duchess take on more duties, more royal engagements, more of a public profile than ever before.
“She’s taking on more patronages, she’s taking on patronages from the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. This is all very deliberate, it’s very much part of the Palace machine bringing her from the shadows of Anmer and into the forefront, into the the spotlight, because they are very clever.
“They realise the power of Kate and the potential of Kate and William as this young, glamorous, dynamic duo who actually do have the ability to reshape and project the monarchy into the future.”
Nicholl added: “What you see is pretty much what you get. She’s very kind, she’s very thoughtful, she’s very easy to get along with. She’s been very well brought up, she comes from a lovely family, she’s got two feet on the ground. The people who know her are very loyal to her and they love her.”
