Some experts and fans are hoping that Kate Middleton can do the near impossible, salvage the family brand and keep the monarchy intact. Is it too much to ask of a mere mortal? Whatever the case may be, the task of saving the royal family’s image is a big one but if anyone has what it takes, Kate has shown her mettle.
So why is it that some are questioning if she will become a queen when her husband is crowned?
