Kate Middleton has been working tirelessly on behalf of the royal family ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit The Firm.
As such, a palace insider told New Zealand Woman’s Weekly in its Dec. 21 issue that Middleton deserves a break.
“It will do Kate good to have a quiet day with her immediate family. She has really worked hard this year – not always seen by the public – and deserves some downtime,” the source said.
During her and Prince William’s recent trip to Cardiff, Wales, royal fans asked the couple what their plans are for the holidays.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge admitted that they haven’t laid down all their plans because of the pandemic.
Prince William said that making plans is difficult because they also want to do what’s best for the public.
Meanwhile, Middleton also made headlines this week after it was revealed that she won’t be styled as queen when Prince William ascends the throne.
Rather, the Duchess of Cambridge will be known as queen consort.
According to Express, the title of queen consort usually belongs to the wives of kings.
And since Middleton isn’t a member of the royal family by blood, she cannot be styled as queen when Prince William becomes king.
The same rule will be followed when Prince Charles ascends the throne. His wife, Camilla is supposed to be styled as queen consort when the time comes.
However, as respect to Prince Charles’ first wife, Princess Diana, Clarence House announced that Camilla will be styled as princess consort.
In related news, Middleton and Prince William just released their adorable Christmas card for the NHS workers who have been working tirelessly amid the pandemic.
The Cambridge family’s Christmas photo was taken last autumn outside of their home at Anmer Hall.
In the snap, Prince William and Middleton are sitting on a tree log with their three children.
Prince George is also sitting on a tree log. And he’s wearing a brown long-sleeved collared shirt and pants.
His younger brother, Prince Louis is standing in between Prince William’s legs.
The 2-year-old is wearing a navy-blue sweatshirt and pants.
Princess Charlotte is sitting close to her mom and she’s wearing a brown sweatshirt, dark leggings, and brown boots.
Prince William and Middleton regularly send out Christmas cards to royal fans.
The royal couple also sends out cards to commemorate other special occasions such as their children’s baptisms and birthdays.
