The Princess of Wales is ‘rising above the drama’, royal expert says

The Princess of Wales is ‘rising above the drama’ following her brother-in-law’s explosive memoir, a royal expert has claimed.

Kate Middleton, 41 – who this week attended public engagements at a hospital in Liverpool and a nursery in Luton – was praised for ‘putting duty before herself’.

‘She’s doing a job that not only puts a smile on her face, but brings smiles to the faces of others,’ author Katie Nicholl told OK! Magazine. ‘She doesn’t do drama and she never has.’

The writer behind The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy And The Future Of The Crown told the outlet the King Charles III will be channeling the same ‘back to business’ attitude his family is known for.

‘She’s leading by example and putting duty before herself,’ Katie added. 

Kate yesterday revealed her youngest son Louis is ‘rugby mad’ on a visit to England’s wheelchair rugby league team to celebrate their World Cup title.

The princess, patron of the Rugby Football League, hosted a reception for the team at Hampton Court Palace on Thursday afternoon to mark the victory in November’s tournament, which was England’s first since the inaugural competition in 2008.

Speaking to the team about their 28-24 victory over France, she added: ‘You’ve set the bar high haven’t you? Which is good.’

As she told the team she and the family had watched the final on TV, the mother-of-three said the family loved competing against each other – particularly siblings Prince George, Prince Charlotte and Prince Louis.

After hearing about Kate’s sporty side, the players invited her in for a training session – an offer she couldn’t turn down.

‘I’d love to come and play,’ she said. ‘There’s no excuse now. We’re going to have to have a family training session.’

Elsewhere this week, she shared an adorable moment with a little girl dressed up as Snow White during her visit to Foxcubs Nursery in Luton.

The mother-of-three looked delighted to play in the sand with a sweet pupil, who appeared to be dressed up as the iconic fairytale heroine.

The little girl smiles as she and Kate work on their masterpiece, and the royal can be heard asking her if she’s been reading a story.

William and Kate toured the new Royal Liverpool University Hospital and smiled, joked and posed for a large number of photos with NHS staff, who they thanked for their efforts during the winter months.

Photos of the royal couple appeared online shortly after their visit as delighted fans posted their selfies with the Prince and Princess.

Despite scathing attacks from Prince Harry in his memoir Spare, including claims William pushed him over during an argument about Meghan, the Waleses were greeted with a huge cheer from the crowd as they arrived in the city.

Although there is no official protocol on selfies, the royals have a rule against signing autographs, so that they can’t be sold for large amounts of money. 

And in the early days of camera phones, they seemed to shy away from being snapped with members of the public with Princes William and Harry and King Charles all voicing their dislike of the method.

However, in recent years, they’ve become commonplace, with Charles posing for his first selfie all the way back in 2014, and other royals from Sophie Wessex to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following suit.
