In 2020, Duchess Kate upped her game even further, helping to reassure an anxious nation wracked by COVID. Last year a Palace insider told Best Life, “The Duchess of Cambridge has become one of [the Royal Family’s] greatest assets for her ability to be both an accessible and aspirational figure.”
Not only was the family faced with coronavirus reportedly infecting two senior royals, they had Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s love gesture, Megxit, to deal with. In effect Kate and William became the face of the Royal Family as they doubled their duties as the Queen isolated and Prince Charles recovered from coronavirus.
The source said that the Queen was acutely aware of how well Kate performed. “Her Majesty has always been fond of Catherine, but the Queen was very pleased to see how the duchess rose to the occasion so brilliantly during lockdown and took on some wonderful initiatives.”
