If there is someone that people can compare Kate Middleton with, it is probably Prince Philip. The Duchess of Cambridge has been continuously receiving praises for her work in the Royal Family, but she never tries to outshine anyone.
Just like how Prince Philip shows his support to Queen Elizabeth II, Kate Middleton is doing the same. She remains to be a great support system behind Prince William since day one. Despite people loving her more, she chooses to be in the sideline to let her husband take the spotlight.
The 38-year-old royal may be the future Queen, but her strength "lies in her partnership" with the Duke of Cambridge. Sarah Gristwood, author of Elizabeth: The Queen and the Crown, told People that their alliance could be called a modern royal marriage that was a love match.
But no matter how modern it is, it remains to be old-fashioned, as she continues to be a supportive figure behind her husband. The mother-of-three's support plays a crucial role in the Duke of Cambridge's future role as the next King.
Although she is a star in her own right, she knows her place within the Royal Family. Royal biographer Penny Junor commended Kate Middleton for not trying to outshine Prince William in any way, even though she still has "a lot to say herself."
She can be compared to Prince Philip, who continuously supports Queen Elizabeth. She has successfully found her confidence when doing her royal duties.
A source even added that Kate Middleton would take on "whatever she needs to," making her and Prince William a "formidable team." Now, she returns to the frontline to do her royal duties in-person after three months of COVID-19 lockdown.
According to Daily Mail, she made her first official engagement by visiting a local garden center. When the lockdown began, she remained to be at the forefront, conducting online interviews and visits by using video calls. She managed to continue her royal patronages and charities and had supported the frontline workers that helped to fight coronavirus.
Express noted that her works behind the camera didn't go unnoticed. Kate Middleton once again gained praise for her Hold Still photography project amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
She pioneered a photography competition to show the real face of the coronavirus and how it affected people's life by asking the British people to take photos of their everyday lives and new normal. Even Sophie, Countess of Wessex, joined the cause to show her support to Kate Middleton.
