Kate has been a member of the British royal family for ten years now and the Duchess of Cambridge has found her place within the family. She is also very popular with the British.
She has a confident demeanor and a natural talent for her royal duties, which she performs with flair.
But it hasn’t always been so easy for her. At the very beginning, Kate was a lot more reserved and cautious. She was somewhat in the shadow of her husband Prince William.
As shy as Diana
According to body expert Darren Stanton, Kate was just as shy as her late mother-in-law Princess Diana. “A striking resemblance,” he tells British magazine Marie Claire† “The princess was clearly having to get used to a new life in the spotlight.
“She behaved in a similar way to Princess Diana when she became engaged to Prince Charles. Kate always remained very close to William, constantly looking at him for his approval and reassurance. Diana did the same with Charles.”
According to Stanton, it is very clear that Kate is now much less reliant on Williams’ “approval” in public affairs. “It can now often be seen that she keeps a subtle distance from her husband. She shows that she is more than capable of performing the royal duties.”
