According to a news released by the British Express on March 18 local time, a royal commentator claimed that Kate Middleton was admired for the qualities lacked by Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson and was regarded as Queen Elizabeth's "special favorite".
The day before, Kate and her husband, Prince William, took part in the St. Patrick's Day parade for the first time in nearly two years. William is a colonel in the Irish Guard, and he and Kate have participated in annual events together many times in the past. It was only because of the impact of the epidemic that they were absent from this major event last year and the year before.
This year the royal couple travelled to Aldershot, about 40 miles southwest of London, to join the Irish Guards in the annual st. Patrick's Day parade.
During the event, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge distributed clover corsages and took part in the guarding celebrations at their barracks.
Later, they sat down with all the soldiers of the barracks for a group photo and then met some of the soldiers and their families at the Junior Ranks restaurant.
Although she has not participated in this important event for two years, Princess Kate is not shy, and she has shown confidence and dignity as always in previous years.
Kate has been a full member of the royal family since 2011 and is now an experienced professional member of the royal family.
It was because of her excellent performance in royal family activities that royal commentator Ashley Pearson claimed that the Queen was "very fond of" Princess Kate, who had traits that other members of the royal family lacked.
Ms Pearson said in the 2016 Amazon gold documentary William and Kate: The Journey: "It is said that Queen Elizabeth is very fond of Kate Middleton. The Queen loves her middle-class values and her close relationships with her family. Princess Kate never tried to get extra attention for herself. She didn't have any flashy or glamorous performances. ”
Ms Pearson also claimed that Her Majesty had hoped to see these features of Kate in her two daughters-in-law, Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson, but the Queen was disappointed and did not do so.
In the documentary, the commentator said: "Kate has been dragging the royal family, which Queen Elizabeth very much wanted from Diana and Ferguson, but that didn't happen."
After the Queen's daughter-in-law, Ferguson, married Prince Andrew in 1986, the royal family saw her quite a few scandals. The Duchess of York was also photographed with some indecent photographs during her marriage to the Prince, which were published in the Mirror in 1992 and they had to divorce ten years later.
Another daughter-in-law, Princess Diana, caused a huge controversy in an interview with Martin Bashir in 1995, when she talked about "the three of us" in her marriage to Prince Charles.
The "three" diana referred to were herself, Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
The Princess of Wales admitted she had an affair of her own, saying that Charles and Camilla's affair made her feel worthless.
By contrast, the Duchess of Cambridge has rarely been involved in scandals since she joined the royal family in 2011. Ms Pearson pointed out that Kate was the Queen's "special favourite".
She said: "There are a lot of people who think Kate is someone the Queen particularly likes because Kate has always supported the family, supported William and never seems to make a mistake."
Since Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, resigned from the royal family and moved to the United States, Kate has taken on more responsibilities within the royal family.
By the time the Queen celebrated her 70th anniversary on the throne, she had taken a step back from royal official duties and had become more dependent on the rest of the royal family.
A source told the Daily Mail in January that the Queen "takes Kate's support for the royal family's work very seriously and will rely on her more than ever." ”
It is reported that due to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arranged a busy royal schedule in advance. Next, they will be separated from the three royal babies for a week as they embark on a series of overseas royal journeys.
Such a dignified, elegant, and dutiful Princess Kate, it is no wonder that the Queen loves her very much.
