Kate Middleton has been part of the royal firm for almost a decade now. When the commoner married Prince William back in 2010, it opened up a whole new door to the royals' world.

Both Prince William and Kate Middleton have strayed slightly from the traditional royal actions, and there is one person that they credit it to.

The late Princess Diana, Prince William’s mother, has greatly influenced the Prince, which Kate Middleton has been supportive of. Despite the Duchess of Cambridge not having met the Princess of Wales, she does influence a lot from the ‘People’s Princess.’

Prince William has opened up about how his mother would have been so proud of him and Kate Middleton. In an interview with the Mirror, the Duke of Cambridge shared that Princess Diana would have loved Kate Middleton.

According to royal aides, Kate Middleton chose to keep Diana’s memory alive through simple and small gestures in her family and the royal firm's daily activities.

One of the most noticeable odes that Kate Middleton has taken from Princess Diana is how she sits on engagements.

Royal etiquette is super important in the royal firm, and there are certain actions that the royal members have to stick to.

Princess Diana was known to break these walls, and one way was her way of sitting. This has become such a big deal to the media that it has been dubbed as the ‘Duchess slant.’

Kate Middleton has adopted this way of sitting, which reminds many royal aides and people of Princess Diana.

The Duchess of Cambridge also often rocks fashion that is comparable to the late Princess’s way of dressing. There have been side by side photos of the two royal wives wearing almost identical clothing.

William’s ode to Princess Diana is continuing her vision of her philanthropic ideas. The Prince’s and Kate’s way of bringing up their children has also been credited majorly to how Diana was to William and his brother, Prince Harry.

Diana, a doting mother, broke the barriers of how the royal wives carried out their motherly duties, which can be clearly seen with Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.

Recently Kate was said to have repurposed one of Princess Diana’s jewels, recreating it to something wearable daily as a remembrance of the Princess’s work in the royal firm.
