Royal Family News: Kate Middleton Gets Prestigious Role After Prince Andrew’s Disgrace?

British royal family news shows that the entire phalanx of senior royals needs to step up in the wake of defections by disgraced royals Prince Andrew, Harry, and Meghan. These three have left a huge void in the royal firmament and it’s no secret that the palace has scrambled to fill key roles left empty by the tarnished trio.

Now it looks like dependable, reliable Kate Middleton could be given another plum assignment once held by Prince Andrew. He was stripped of his royal roles and titles due to a questionable friendship with dead convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Prince Andrew inherited the role from his father Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh. Philip, who died last year at the age of 99, was Colonel of the Grenadier Guards until 2017. After Andrew was gifted the prestigious position he was forced to give it up, “a month before the civil sexual assault case brought against him in the US by Virginia Giuffre was settled in court. The role returned to the Queen by default is now said to be being bestowed upon the Duchess of Cambridge,” according to Woman and Home.

If the role is bestowed upon Kate, she will become the first female Colonel of the Grenadier Guards in 80 years.
