KEY POINTS

  • Kate Middleton is the new strength of the royal family
  • The Duchess of Cambridge may be dropping pregnancy clues
  • Kate Middleton has stepped up her role after Megxit

Kate Middleton has reportedly become the new strength of the royal family after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their decision to quit The Firm.

While speaking with Express, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said that after a series of blows to the royal family with Prince Andrew’s scandal and the recent Megxit, the Duchess of Cambridge evidently stepped up.

“After the debacle of Andrew and Megxit, the Royal Family has undoubtedly received some severe body blows in recent months. If one follows recent royal activities, another theme emerges, heartening for the monarchy. Kate has received universal praise for her activities. These have included launching a nationwide survey to help the under-fives and her help for Children’s Mental Health Week. It also includes her podcast interview about motherhood and raising children, her own happy childhood and also the problems in raising a family,” he said.

Other than Middleton, Prince William has also stepped up his royal duties after the scandals that plagued the royal family. The Duke of Cambridge launched the Earshot Prize to encourage those seeking to solve the environmental problems the world faces, and this is likely to be a prestigious award.

Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles have also taken more duties, and they have also been representing the royal family positively.

“The Prince of Wales carried out last month a highly sensitive visit to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories successfully. Camilla has spoken powerfully about the taboo of domestic abuse,” Fitzwilliams said.

Meanwhile, Middleton also made headlines this week after key signs that could reveal her fourth pregnancy were unveiled. Body language expert Judi James told Express that future queen has been dropping confusing clues to determine her pregnancy.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen her where they wouldn’t be some speculation because she had a signature body language position when she stands which is that she’ll either have the clutch ban of her hands clasped almost under the belly,” she said.
