Tominey said in a video shared with The Telegraph that Kate Middleton is the “wife of a future kind and the mother of a future king,” which makes her a very powerful person. Tominey also believes that there’s no competition between Kate and Meghan Markle. Some people compared the two but the royal expert believes that Kate’s role gives her the advantage.
“You could say, when it comes to their generation, you could say [Kate and Prince William] are ruling the royal roost,” Tominey explained.
Kate And Prince William’s Popularity With The Public
Kate and Prince William are loved by many. Kate in particular has grown in popularity during the pandemic. She managed to carry out her royal duties despite the lockdown. She turned to Zoom and continued to work with charitable organizations.
She even managed to publish a photo book called Hold Still, featuring images that tell the story of how life was in the U.K. during the pandemic.
The royal couple is very popular with the public compared to Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, who is next in line for the crown.
Kate and Prince William ranked fourth and third respectively, in a study about their popularity, which was conducted by YouGov. Meanwhile, Charles and Camilla took the sixth and tenth spots.
Will The Crown Be Passed On To Prince William Instead Of Prince Charles?
Some people asked whether the crown would be passed on to the Cambridges instead of Prince Charles when Queen Elizabeth died. However, the royals, including Prince William, don’t support the idea.
Royal expert Simon Vigar said The Queen always follows the rules and that means there’s no way she’ll ask Prince Charles to step aside.
Prince William And Kate Almost Didn’t Become The Duke And Duchess Of Cambridge
A report by Elle revealed that Prince William and Kate Middleton almost didn’t get their new moniker on the event of their wedding day. The titles Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were reportedly given to a different royal, who turned them down because of certain reasons.
The titles were given to Prince Edward when he married Sophie in 1999. He rejected it in favor of becoming the Earl of Wessex, which paved the way for the title to be given to Prince William and Kate Middleton 12 years after.
