When Princess Catherine started dating Prince William, few thought the college romance would end in marriage.
Now, she’s the queen-in-waiting and raising the future king of England.
There are whispers that few understand the profound impact the Princess of Wales has on the British royal family.
Furthermore, she requested that the causes she supports be of personal interest and share her core values.
According to royal biographer Angela Levin, the Princess of Wales is all too aware of this big responsibility.
“Kate’s a very confident mother.
But even so, she’s acutely aware of the pressure of raising George as the future monarch.
In a Channel 5 documentary, journalist Afua Hagan praised Catherine’s ability to control the press narrative.
This stands in stark contrast to how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle handled their own media coverage.

Catherine’s popularity became evident when she took a break from public duties after undergoing surgery in January 2024.
Clearly, the public can no longer imagine life without her.
When Charles announced his diagnosis, he was met with an outpouring of well-wishes.
Catherine’s cancer announcement, however, momentarily left the world silent and in utter shock.
The public reaction told the palace all it needed to know Catherine had become its most valuable member.
For a few weeks, the princess was all the world could talk about.
Conspiracy theories abounded, and evensome celebrities weighed in with their own two cents on “KateGate.
People loved and respected her, but with her gone, not much love for the institution itself remained.
Catherine, however, can possibly salvage this and fill the queen’s shoes.
