Kate Middleton Supports the Monarchy by Remaining Steadfast in the Face of Drama
The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, takes her supporting role in the monarchy seriously. Prince William’s wife and daughter-in-law to King Charles III has always maintained steadfast in the face of family drama. This quiet confidence is one of the reasons royal watchers have been so drawn to the mother of three since she formally entered the House of Windsor in 2011.
Kate’s ‘natural, quiet confidence’ draws her to royal watchers
People Magazine reported that Kate began taking her royal duties seriously when she became the Duchess of Cambridge in 2011. One of her first private royal visits was to East Anglia Children’s Hospice, where she impressed the directors and family members whose loved ones received care in the facility.
Tracy Rennie, director of care of the hospice, said of the Princess of Wales to People, “She has this natural, quiet confidence. When she smiles, her whole face smiles.”
In her continued effort to support Britons via the royal family’s patronages, Kate’s easygoing manner is welcomed by those she visits. The Princess of Wales is known for bringing with her prior knowledge and questions that further open up a dialogue regarding the situation surrounding those affected.
Per the People article, photographer Jillian Edelstein spoke of the princess after working alongside Kate with the Imperial War Museum in Nov. 2021, “There was a sense of her – I mean, you sort of think of Princess Diana and the People’s Princess, but she felt so utterly in the moment and so utterly focused and engaged. It was so impressive, really.”

Kate entered the royal family upon her marriage to Prince William in 2011. She quietly immersed herself in the family’s charity work. Kate supports her husband, the late Queen Elizabeth II, and her father-in-law, King Charles III.
She prefers to let her initiatives, such as the Earthshot Prize, which awards grants to creative solutions combating climate change, do the talking for her. Furthermore, Kate initiated the family’s Heads Together campaign. This movement was the first time the royals addressed mental health as one of their causes. Kate’s forward-thinking linked her to Diana, who championed patients during the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s.
Kate has wisely avoided paparazzi drama within the royal family. This drama includes Prince Harry’s allegations that she was unkind to his wife, Meghan Markle.
Kate Middleton represents accessibility to the royals not seen since Princess Diana
The Princess of Wales appears accessible to the public, even as she is poised to become queen someday. She is one of the royal family’s greatest assets and appears controlled during royal events. Her mannerisms draw comparisons to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
A mother of three, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, Kate attends school pickups and drop-offs. She is also active in her children’s sporting events and can be spotted doing the family’s grocery shopping. This normalcy has endeared her to royal family watchers.
