Kate’s use of soft power is earning her comparisons to the late Queen Mother.
In her 12 years as a working member of the royal family, Princess Kate’s confidence has grown exponentially and she has learned to master the delicate art of soft power, a royal expert said.
“People always used to describe the Queen Mother as ‘steel in a velvet glove,’” royal expert Jennie Bond told . “She was always charming, gentle, and much admired. But she was also the strength behind her husband, George VI, and at the Palace her opinion counted. I think Kate has some of those same qualities.”
Bond, a former BBC royal correspondent, said of Kate “she has learned the craft of being a royal over a number of years and earned her place as a senior member of the family. Gradually, she has also earned the respect of the public and, I believe, the rest of the family. We look at her now not just as William’s wife, but as our future Queen.
Bond said she wasn’t surprised at Kate’s role in the Palace’s statement: “She knew that the family’s reputation was on the line and, along with William, she wasn’t prepared simply to stand by and let that reputation be trashed,” she said. “I think people will admire her for resisting the age-old strategy of ignoring criticism, however damaging it can be.”
