Big first for Kate Middleton! The Duchess of Cambridge will open the ball for the reattribution of the royal functions left by Prince Harry. According to DailyMailthe mother of George, Charlotte and Louis would be about to inherit the title of godmother of the Rugby Football Union which her husband’s brother previously held Prince William. Queen Elizabeth II would have voluntarily taken her time before redistributing the patronages of her grandson so as not to offend him. Kate Middleton thus becomes the first member of the royal family to inherit it. And as much to say that the competition is likely to rage with her husband William, godfather of that of Wales since 2016. And on the ground, the couple is not the type to make presents.
When Kate Middleton and Prince William have to wet the jersey during their travels, they are not the last to put on cleats and sportswear to compete face-to-face. Competitors at heart, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge love to compete. The new function attributed to Kate Middleton therefore risks causing great harm to the good understanding between the crowned heads. At this time, it is not yet known which other members have been chosen by the Queen to inherit the duties given up by Harry. But it will not be long…
In March 2020, the decision of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to distance themselves from the Windsor clan became definitively official, the spouses no longer having public functions or remuneration. In a press release, the Sovereign confirmed their intention to abandon the rights and duties that their status had hitherto brought them: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed to Her Majesty The Queen that they will not return as working members of the Royal Family. After conversations with the Duke, the Queen has confirmed that by renouncing work linked to membership in the Royal Family, it is not possible to continue to carry out the responsibilities and duties inherent in a life of service to the public.“. No doubt, Kate Middleton, who has never disappointed Elizabeth II, should perform like a queen!
