Kate Middleton Shares Similarities With Princess Diana; Still More Loved By Royals

Kate Middleton and Princess Diana share a ton of similarities, but one of them is still more loved by the royal family.

The late Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Cambridge are both passionate when it comes to their charity work. While she was still alive, the mom of two championed causes such as leprosy and AIDS, and Middleton followed in her footstep’s years later.

At present, Middleton is working with causes such as addiction and mental health. She is also passionate about art therapy for children.

Both Middleton and Princess Diana also have younger brothers. Princess Diana’s younger brother is Earl Spencer, while Middleton’s younger brother is James Middleton.

Princess Diana and Middleton weren’t meant to be Queen before they married Prince Charles and Prince William, respectively. If Princess Diana did not divorce Prince Charles, she would have automatically been named Queen Consort.

Prince William, who is second in line to the throne, will eventually reign as King. When this happens, his wife, Middleton, will also be named Queen Consort.

But before marrying their spouses, Princess Diana and Middleton led very normal lives. In fact, they also had regular jobs. Princess Diana worked as a preschool teacher, while Middleton worked with Jigsaw as an accessory buyer.

Despite the two female royals’ similarities, it seems that one of them is still more loved by the royal family than the other.

On the online forum site Quora, royal fan Margaret Challen said that one of the reasons why the royal family accepted Middleton very quickly was because she was already 29 years old when she and Prince William decided to tie the knot.

Princess Diana just turned 20 years old when she got married to Prince Charles, who was already in his 30s. Challen is convinced that a lot of relationships that started very early could not stand the test of time. This holds true for Princess Diana and Prince Charles who went their separate ways 11 years after tying the knot.
