Amidst the turbulent times surrounding the royal family, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is taking a strategic approach to maintain stability and focus on the monarchy’s long-term interests.
Stepping back from her royal duties to focus on her recovery from a cancer diagnosis, Kate is emulating the wise tactics of a revered royal figure, the late Queen Mother.
Royal historian Gareth Russell highlighted Kate’s approach, drawing parallels between her and the beloved Queen Mother.
“I do think the Princess of Wales is very like the late Queen Mother,” Russell emphasized, speaking to The Sun.
“The Queen Mother in her lifetime was an extraordinarily popular figure… Part of the secret that she had was that she sees it as a marathon, not a sprint.”
Russell emphasized Kate’s clear long-term vision, noting her ability to avoid getting entangled in day-to-day dramas and headlines.
“You don’t sweat the everyday. You plan five, 10, 15 years and you don’t really let yourself get dragged into easily by the smaller details or the headlines every week,” Russell explained.
Kate’s approach mirrors that of the Queen Mother, who was renowned for her ability to navigate royal matters with grace and foresight.
Like her predecessor, Kate chooses to ignore petty disputes, including the ongoing rift between Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family.
Reports suggest that Prince William is “furious” with Prince Harry for his unofficial royal tour, exacerbating the existing estrangement between the brothers.
However, amidst these tensions, Kate remains focused on the bigger picture, prioritizing the monarchy’s stability and continuity.
As the royal family grapples with internal challenges, Kate Middleton’s strategic mindset and commitment to long-term planning serve as a beacon of stability, ensuring that the monarchy remains resilient in the face of adversity.
