Kate Middleton and Prince William were recently praised by a royal expert for their great partnership.

While speaking with New Magazine, royal expert Jennie Bond said that the royal couple is a great double act.

“And it seems a very equal partnership – she doesn’t let him hog the limelight. They’re great together. Their relationship is solid and her relationship with the royal family is on solid ground. I think she’ll be a very dignified queen,” she said.

Bond also said that Middleton must have always been aware that becoming a queen consort will be her destiny the first time she met Prince William.

“That long training she had, going out with William for close to 10 years before they married gave her a good idea of life in the royal goldfish bowl. She and Will are a great double act,” she said.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, Prince William and Middleton didn’t shy away from performing their royal duties. They also helped boost the public’s morale during this difficult time.

“Communicating through Zoom seems to be her forte. She’s previously made the odd speech and said hello, but before we haven’t seen her up close, informal and chatty in this way. She’s coming across as a warm young woman, from her dimples to her lovely smile, and she has an engaging way of talking to people. She’s so natural and she’s been an absolute star during the lockdown,” Bond gushed.

The royal expert also praised Middleton for her ability to connect with young people. One of the reasons may have to do with the fact that she has three children.

“Kate’s been reaching out to communities having real difficulties and schools and asking the kids what kindness means,” she said.

Bond also said that there’s no contest between Middleton and Meghan Markle because the former is very far from the latter.

“She’s not as strong-headed or independent, but that makes her a model future queen. The royal family is hugely relieved that she is such an asset,” the source said.

Middleton and Prince William started making public appearances again amid the coronavirus pandemic earlier this month.
