'Kate draws on late Queen's dignity but adds her own informality to the role'

ok.co.uk:

The Princess of Wales is continuously praised for the way she has expertly navigated life in the Royal Family and made a name for herself in her main areas of interest, such as early years development.

While she brings her own character to the role - whether it is sitting on the floor to join in with activities or trying any local foods offered to her - there are key figures who have been instrumental in creating the future Queen we see before us.

Of course it is Prince William who has been the guiding hand for his wife over the years as she slowly got to grips with the demands of life in the public eye, but the influence and example of the late Queen cannot be overstated.

Looking much further ahead to the future, a leading royal expert has explained how far the Princess will tap into the expertise she witnessed first hand or whether she will take an entirely fresh approach when Prince William is on the throne.
