The platinum jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, which is held in England from Thursday June 2 to Sunday 5, will above all be an opportunity for Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle to meet. Since the separation of the Fab Four, a large number of Crown fans have chosen their camp between the two sisters-in-law, thus joining the Kate team or the Meghan team. But while there are many criticisms of the Duchess of Sussex’s behavior, the image of Prince William’s wife often seems more perfect, smoother. And yet, calculator, she had planned everything to integrate the royal family.
The fate of Kate Middleton could have been very different. And in the early 2000s, when the mother of George, Charlotte and Louis is about to start a university course in Edinburgh, she will finally choose that of St. Andrews because that is where the crown prince is. A choice that surprised those around him. “She had always placed Edinburgh as the number 1 choice, and she had been accepted, her place was reserved“confirmed the guidance counselor at Marlborough College boarding school, where she did her schooling. The tabloids then even revealed that “Carole Middleton, a bit upstartwould have pushed his daughter to register there to better meet the prince“, as reported by Bertrand Meyer-Stabley in the book The life of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
Kate Middleton knew where she was going
A first sacrifice, and not the least, which was not the last. But Kate Middleton always knew where she was stepping. If Meghan Markle was somewhat surprised to discover the many protocols associated with life as a member of the royal family, the Duchess of Cambridge was well prepared. “She knew enough, she had seen enough and she had enough experience, so she knew very well what the responsibilities and requirements would be.“, confided in this regard to Kate Middleton Sally Bedell Smith, biographer of the queen, to the British magazine People. And according to her, if Kate Middleton is so comfortable it’s becauseshe carefully studied the royal protocol before submitting to it.
She had to change her voice
And to integrate the royal family, the “commoner” has stopped at nothing. If she is today one of the essential assets of the Crown, she was nevertheless of a shy, reserved nature and her speeches were rare. Accompanied by communicators to overcome all this, the wife of the Duke of Cambridge also agreed to change her voice. “Although Kate was always well spoken, she may not have such a strong accent when she joined the family” assured Jon Briggs, speech expert. An accent that has therefore been worked on in order to disappear. Rigorous and determined, she crossed all these stages proving once again that she has by far the makings of a queen.
