Kate Middleton taking a big step for the sake of monarchy this year

Kate Middleton is now stepping into her role as a royal as she prepares for a busy year ahead.

According to a royal insider quoted as OK! The 41-year-old Princess of Wales is taking on more responsibilities than ever before because it’s important to the monarchy.

“She’s busier than ever,” the insider revealed. “She feels it’s more important to the monarchy than anything she’s ever seen outside and that people don’t just associate it with relaxing in the summer.”

After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle step down from their senior royal roles in 2020, Kate and Prince William have to step in to carry out the duties that were assigned to the former.

“King Charles is thrilled that Kate wants to do extra events and duties,” the insider noted. “Particularly because British people are more apt to come out and see her in the summer, she’s getting an audience that waits all year to see her.”

Earlier, a body language expert pointed out that Kate exuded ‘huge confidence’ as she performed solo at Wimbledon.

Body language expert Darren Stanton noted that her “body language is always really open, with open palm gestures. When Kate walks, she’s obviously very beautiful and passionate, but her Posture, shoulder placement, and speed also indicate great confidence.

Darren Stanton added that Kate is now “very independent and obviously not afraid to do any kind of engagement without her husband, Prince William”.

“She’s very confident now – more than ever. She’s got that inner source of the power field that Princess Diana once had,” he surmised.
