‘Saving the Royal Family’: Royal Experts say Princess Kate’s Steely Approach in Protecting the Monarchy

Princess Kate is getting a lot of attention inside royal circles right now, and not just for her public appearances. According to insiders, the 43 year old royal has been using what they describe as a smart and deliberate approach as she focuses on what some see as “saving the Royal Family.”

After her major appearance for Remembrance Day earlier this week, people close to the institution say they are impressed by the way she has been positioning herself and the way she seems to understand what the monarchy needs from her.

One royal expert said her success comes from what they call her “steely determination,” along with a cautious mindset that helps her spot anything or anyone that might pose a risk to the monarchy. The expert added that Kate has not appeared to get too close to anyone who does not seem fully supportive of the crown’s long term stability, something that has stood out more as the family continues to face public challenges.

Royal expert Tessa Dunlop pointed to a specific moment back in September, when Kate appeared with Sarah Ferguson at the Duchess of Kent’s funeral. As reported by The Mirror, Dunlop wrote in the Independent, “The sharp contrast between the two women was eye-popping, Kate’s arch face a fitting riposte to the already sombre day.”

She noted that one royal watcher even called Kate the “protective huntress,” describing how Kate once again stepped into a situation in a way that suggested she was shielding the monarchy from potential trouble. Dunlop added that Kate’s “poise and ice-queen exterior” had shaped this new reputation and contributed to what she described as an “alpha epitaph.”

Dunlop continued, “Huntress Kate, the untouchable royal charm, silently signalling that enough is enough. Yards away on the same step, William mirrored his wife’s behaviour in the face of Andrew’s buffoonery.” She explained that Kate has always operated with a focus on the long term and that both she and Prince William have what she called a “brutal, steely streak” when it comes to protecting the monarchy’s image and future.

When discussing Kate’s ability to “see off” people who might bring complications to the Firm, Dunlop also highlighted “her coolness towards Meghan” as an example of the couple’s wariness toward a newcomer “who appeared to neither understand nor value the institution they cleave to.” The idea is not that Kate is hostile but rather that she stays alert around individuals who might not fully align with the institution’s traditions or expectations.

Earlier this week, Kate made another notable appearance when she stepped out without Prince William for the Service of Remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum on Tuesday. Dressed in a military style black coat, she joined attendees for the two minute silence at 11am.

She then laid a wreath in remembrance of those who lost their lives and those who have served in the Armed Forces. It was a simple and respectful moment, but insiders say it also reflects the steady and deliberate way Kate continues to carve out her role, showing the quiet confidence that has royal watchers paying very close attention.
