The Queen’s biographer Sally Bedell Smith spoke to People magazine about Kate saying, “She knows what resonates. She will have absorbed a lot from this Queen.” She added that Kate, “looks to the reigning matriarch for timeless wisdom—while putting her own modern spin on the role.”

This has been demonstrated in Kate’s, “willingness to adapt to royal life, even mirroring the Queen’s style, be it regularly wearing jewels on loan from Her Majesty or wearing bright colors on royal engagements, just as the Queen is famous for doing.”

Her Majesty celebrated her Platinum Jubilee this June, an event which marked 70 years on the throne. Kate married into the royal family 11 years ago and, “has learned by observing.”

According to the outlet, “the Queen and Kate share key qualifications for the job: quiet stoicism, unerring discretion, and firm loyalty. Their opinions on contentious political issues are never heard, their commitment to the throne is unwavering, and their public images are tightly controlled. Kate also embodies the Queen’s unofficial motto for public life: ‘Never complain, never explain.’”

Historian Sarah Gristwood, author of Elizabeth: Queen and Crown, told the outlet that, “The Queen has always preferred to do rather than say. With her audiences with her prime ministers, if there has been actual advice, it would be a discreet ‘I think that went rather well,’ rather than actual instruction.”

Of Kate she said, “It’s a personal willingness to conform to the requirements of the institution. That sounds like an unappealing, unglamorous virtue, but it’s an important one if you’re going to be a successful cog in the royal wheel.”
