Kate Middleton is now taking more roles in the monarchy. After she takes in some of Queen Elizabeth II's patronages, it is said to be a sign that Her Majesty trusts her granddaughter-in-law so much. This only proves that they now have a better relationship compared before.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl revealed that Kate Middleton and Queen Elizabeth are both quite shy, so it took them a lot of time before they got very close. Now, the two women have a "very easy relationship," thanks to their effort to get along with each other.
According to Fox News, the Queen loves seeing the Duchess of Cambridge. She also likes to spend time with her and hear things about her great-grandchildren.
Kate Middleton got married to Prince William in 2011, making her part of the royal family. The royal couple shares three kids together, Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis, 1.
The future queen consort is known for being a hands-on mom. She also makes "a conscious effort" to make the grandmother of her husband feel that she is involved in the lives of their children.
Kate Middleton and her family are expected to join Queen Elizabeth at Sandringham for the Christmas gathering this year. Allegedly, the family matriarch is looking forward to this event to spend time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Hence, Kate and her husband, Prince William, will make their duties and put the royal family first.
Meanwhile, Express reported that Queen Elizabeth is now preparing Kate Middleton for her future role as the queen consort. As the wife of the second heir to the throne, Kate also has a role to fill in. With the trust the Queen gives her, she is confident that Kate can perfectly portray her future role.
Kate Middleton now has a busy schedule until Christmas Day. Last week, she joined Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Princess Anne at the NATO reception at the Buckingham Palace, while Prince William was in the Middle East for a royal tour.
She also has a new charity role, taking the monarch's 65-year patronage as the new patron of Family Action. Earlier this summer, Kate Middleton was also announced as the new patron of the Royal Photographic Society, which Queen Elizabeth held for 67 years. This only proves that the Queen has huge faith in Kate.
The Queen and Prince Philip have hundreds of charity patronages. Despite his retirement, the Duke of Edinburgh keeps some of these causes.
