Kate Middleton makes Queen Elizabeth II herself her “example” of how to behave and work as a key member of the royal family. Kate wed Prince William in a glorious ceremony at London’s Westminster Abbey last year and has been adored by all ever since.
Since her marriage all reports indicate that Duchess Kate gets on smashingly well with the queen and is learning how to be in the royal family by observing her grandmother-in-law. As we reported a while ago on CDL, the Queen is said to be simply crazy about Kate – sadly the same can’t be said about the monarch’s feelings of disgust towards Pippa Middleton.
Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told The Sunday Times: “When the queen and Philip took Kate to Leicester for the first jubilee visit outside London I was struck by the body language they had and how clearly fond of each other they are.”
“I think she is looking to the queen as an example – you can see in the way she comports herself with a certain discipline.”
Elizabeth is not the only member of the royal family Catherine enjoys spending time with – it was recently revealed she has also been meeting with her father-in-law Prince Charles to discuss cultural issues.
A source said: “She and Prince Charles spend a lot of time together. They go on visits to the opera and art galleries; they share passions that neither William nor his brother Harry share. They get on very well. [Queen Elizabeth] has also made a lot of time for the duchess. They have a warm relationship as was evidenced when they went to
Leicester.”
Do you think that Kate can live up to Queen Elizabeth’s fine example? Let us know in the comments below.
