Princess Diana was one of the most iconic royals in the history of the British monarchy. While the public, as well as, the rest of the world loved her and still loves her, Kate Middleton is, reportedly, fixated on not following her footsteps.

In the course of Princess Di's royal life, she almost always obtained the spotlight. This is why every step she did was in total scrutiny. 

According to Good Housekeeping, there are over 25 obvious "rebellious" acts that the Princess of Wales did during her marriage to Prince Charles. Although these acts were considered to be the real "game-changers" of the monarchy, they were deemed as breaking the royal protocols.

Many fans are convinced that these were the reasons why the public loved her so much. Instead of becoming "another" usual member of the royal family, she became a lot more "human."

Aside from her choices of pieces of clothing, Princess Diana's actions toward the press and media were also seen as "royal mistakes." As it happened, she was frank and candor, regardless of the nature of the issue and interview.

But, among all of her "royal mistakes," her taking the spotlight from the Heir Apparent, Prince Charles was the worse. As per reports, this is something Kate Middleton would not want to follow.

In a scoop made by Express UK, it was claimed that the Duchess of Cambridge is determined to avoid taking the spotlight from her husband, Prince William. She would not allow herself to "outshine her husband," just like what her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana did to Prince Charles.

The reports further explained that Kate Middleton is happy and contented with what she's, currently, doing as a royal. It seemed like she's a total "natural" in adhering to the royal protocols, which is expected of her since Prince William will soon be the king.

Sources also attested that, in everything she does, the Duchess of Cambridge always ensures that she is "one step behind her husband." She follows the prince and his aides, the reports added.

Kate Middleton's previous interview with Tom Bradby was also highlighted. Based on the duchess' statements, she intends to follow Prince William's lead being that she is married to him.

Although royal experts attested that Kate Middleton is making sure that she won't follow Princess Diana's footsteps, some royal fans have been claiming that the duchess' pieces of garments and clothing show definite similarities with the late princess' style.
