Royal Family News: Kate Middleton Wants To Continue Being A Part-Time Royal

According to Omid Scobie in his new book, Endgame, the royal author suggests the Princess of Wales is fine with the way things are right now even though she does significantly less work than other members of the royal family.

In fact, when it comes to royal engagement count, Kate Middleton is always at the very bottom of the list. 

Scobie also said that while Kate lacks a good work ethic, Queen Elizabeth liked her because she was more ‘coachable’ than Prince Charles’ first wife, Princess Diana.

That said, Kate has always maintained that she’s comfortable in the role that she has and always “‘willing to bring the requisite smile and elegance to her duties as princess.”

However, there’s always been some concern about the very little time that Kate does put aside for her work. Scobie writes in his book, “The late Queen, too, would take off blocks of time throughout the year to recharge, but she was also known to carry out at least three hundred engagements annually.

Sources said Kate remains ‘laser focused’ on her duty to the family first, and then the Crown. Where other senior royals are out and about several times a week, meeting people across the length and breadth of the country, Kate has long maintained a smaller work schedule that helped her check off the required royal boxes while saving time for her roles as a mother and a wife.” 

So far Buckingham Palace has not made any comments about the criticism.
