Summary
Royal commentators say Prince William openly revels in Kate Middleton’s popularity, casting the Princess of Wales as the monarchy’s strongest public asset rather than a rival for attention.
Fox News Digital cited author Christopher Andersen and other royal watchers, who said Kate’s “soft power,” family image and modern style have made her the royal family’s brightest star.
Their assessment contrasts William with King Charles, whom Diana said in her 1995 Panorama interview grew jealous during their 1983 Australia tour as crowds focused on her.
Kate’s higher profile has grown as she resumed public duties after her cancer battle and supported the king, with observers saying the couple’s visible affection and unity strengthen the monarchy’s future.
