According to RadarOnline.com, Kate Middleton’s surprising entrance was warmly welcomed as she began a clandestine royal training program that culminated in her being “crowned queen” in a very low-key ceremony.
A source said: “Kate wore a crown and has been taking lessons in what it means to be queen ahead of King Charles’ death, and was crowned in a hush-hush ceremony to prepare her for what’s coming.” It follows months of Kate behaving like a queen in public.
For her first solo official appearance this spring, Princess Kate Middleton dazzled a London fashion crowd on May 13 when she gave 29-year-old Patrick McDowell the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design at a British Fashion Council event. She wore a perfectly tailored olive-green Victoria Beckham pantsuit and a white silk blouse.
A sleeveless item known as the “Wales jacket” drew the Princess of Wales’ attention as she looked at the clothing on exhibit, McDowell said. “She said, ‘Why would you call it that?’ with a big smile,” the winning designer shared, marveling: “What a moment, to be sharing jokes with our future queen.”
The 43-year-old’s amazing power and charm are further demonstrated by his elegant appearance. Following her cancer diagnosis and successful treatment last year, Middleton has upped the frequency and visibility of her public appearances in recent weeks. This is all due to duty.
A source told Radaronline.com that “these are tenuous times for the monarchy,” citing King Charles III, 76, who is more than a year into his own cancer battle, his heir, Prince William, 42, who is “under intense pressure due to his position as king-in-waiting,” and ongoing family drama with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “still giving them grief.”
The most senior royal males are thus “falling apart behind the scenes,” the person continued. But “strong, resilient” Middleton has taken the lead as they spiral. She is still more popular than the majority of royals.
The mother of three is favored by 72% of Britons, which is only surpassed by William, who is favored by 75% of his future subjects, according to a May YouGov poll. Princess Anne, 74, came in second with 69%, followed by Charles with 61%.
No words. Princess Catherine the winner.

Only the disgraced Prince Andrew’s five percent was surpassed by Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, with twenty percent. Middleton, 31, “has always followed the rules and managed to avoid the pitfalls that plagued other royal women, like the late Princess Diana, especially when dealing with the media,” according to an insider. “She feels it’s her duty to step up and protect the crown.”
Charles is still receiving therapy more than a year after receiving a diagnosis of an unidentified type of cancer. Buckingham Palace described his brief hospital stay in March as “temporary side effects.”
His Majesty acknowledged the following month that receiving the diagnosis had been “a daunting and at times frightening experience.” Despite his health difficulties, he has persisted on doing as much as he can, including public appearances and governmental obligations.
“William and Kate are worried perhaps he’s taking on too much and could be jeopardizing his health,” according to our insider. Queen Camilla, his 77-year-old wife, is caught between duty and affection. The insider continued: “She’s distracted by his illness and overwhelmed by the thought of losing him.”

The insider claimed that while Charles is concentrating on his health, William has been driven by resentment at his 40-year-old brother Prince Harry and his 43-year-old bride, as well as with exacting the revenge his father won’t allow.
Although they promised the late queen that they would give up their coveted His/Her Royal Highness titles when they moved to California in 2020 as senior royals, it was revealed in April that Markle is still using them. The insider continued: “She’s distracted by his illness and overwhelmed by the thought of losing him.”
“It’s been talked about at the palace that when William becomes king, he plans to strip the Sussexes of their HRH titles,” our source said. A few days later, William was shocked once more when Harry criticized the royal family for the decision after losing his years-long court battle against a 2020 government ruling that denied him and his family compulsory police protection when they travel to Britain.
In a shocking BBC interview on May 2, he asserted that despite his considerable distance from Charles and William, his father refused to talk to him. “I would love reconciliation with my family,” he said – adding: “There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”
