Kate Middleton and Prince William are considered crucial to the monarchy.
Their solo royal tours have been well-received by those who admire royalty.
Ailsa Anderson, speaking about Kate’s recent visit to Italy, told People: “As Queen Elizabeth used to say, you have to be seen to be believed.” She also noted that Kate is glamorous and beautiful, as well as warm and approachable.
Following the King’s successful visit to the States, William and Kate are stepping up their efforts,” Anderson added.
Catherine Mayer, an author, told People: “Princess Anne and the other senior working royals are all stretched thin — and none of them are young.” She believes that William and Catherine carry the entire royal family.
“At this moment, after a period of unprecedented turbulence, they are doing a very good job of making it look like the ship is steady,” Mayer said. “That’s why Kate is so important.”
