Queen Elizabeth Is Reportedly a 'Fan' of How Relatable Kate Middleton Has Been Recently


Kate Middleton has got to be feeling very good right now because she is reportedly in very high favor with her boss—a.ka. her grandmother-in-law and the Queen of England. It’s easy to forget as we fawn over Middleton’s fashion and enviable hair that when she’s out at engagements and on royal tours, it’s all in service and at the behest of Queen Elizabeth II.

“The Queen is a fan,” a source told Vanity Fair‘s royal reporter, Katie Nicholl. “Kate is unflappable. Her mantra is very like the Queen’s keep calm and carry on approach in life, and she has the added benefit of making the Royal Family seem almost normal and in touch.” There’s been a lot of drama surrounding the family of late, including rumors of sibling rifts and lawsuits against certain tabloids, so it makes sense that the queen would appreciate the Duchess of Cambridge’s calm, cool, and collected demeanor at the time. Reportedly, the monarch was also very happy with Middleton and Prince William’s recent royal tour of Pakistan.

“It feels very much like this has been Kate’s year,” royal biographer Claudia Joseph told Vanity Fair. “She looks happy, in control and there’s a new confidence about her. “I think Kate seems much happier than a year ago. She has three lovely children, has been honored by the Queen for her hard work and is really well liked not just here but around the world.”

“She’s very much the girl next door, from how she dresses to how she behaves and interacts with people on engagements,” Joseph continued. “She is likeable and relatable and that has made her very popular.” And there definitely have been lots of good stories about the Duchess of Cambridge lately—like when she was spotted shopping at a chain store with Prince George and Princess Charlotte for Halloween costumes or how she had a mom’s night out at a pub with women from the kids’ school. She’s also reportedly trying to help her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, after the Duchess of Sussex opened up about how difficult she’s finding it to handle the tabloid scrutiny.

“They [the Cambridges] seem to be making a real effort and it’s paying off,” another source told Vanity Fair. “They are getting great press.”

Well done, Kate. But now can you give an interview about every single hair product you use?

Kate Middleton Reportedly Had a Secret Night Out With Moms From George and Charlotte's School


The logistics of Kate Middleton‘s daily life as a royal look pretty different than, well, basically everyone else’s in the world. Most of us do not wake up within the gated walls of a literal palace, and when we want to dash out—to, say, the store or for drinks with friends—we don’t have to travel with a protection officer. But by all accounts, the Duchess of Cambridge tries to keep some normalcy in her life and the lives of her three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

So if there’s a drinks night out with other parents from St. Thomas’s Battersea, where George and Charlotte go to school, she’s going to be there. The Daily Mail reports that Middleton attended a party with other “school-run mums” at the Hollywood Arms pub in Chelsea last month. The event was apparently a meet and greet for the parents of new students at the school, and it was held in a private room called the Boulevard Bar that holds about 80 people.

The Daily Mail says that the duchess was able to come and ago without fanfare thanks to a special entrance from an alley in the back directly into the pub and only brought one low-key bodyguard with her. There are rumors that the door was installed for Prince Harry back in his going-out days, when the pub was a big place to see and be seen.

This isn’t the first time Kate Middleton has slipped out for some decidedly “normal” activities. She was spotted at U.K. supermarket chain store Sainsbury’s shopping for Halloween costumes with George and Charlotte in tow. “You don’t expect to see that when you go shopping,” fellow shopper Kathy Whittaker said. “I couldn’t concentrate on my shopping.” But she added that the royal “seemed so down to earth and beautiful as always.”

Cheers to a relatable duchess.

Kate Middleton Reportedly Hates Seeing Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ‘So Miserable’


If royal reports are to be believed (and it’s always a good idea to take them with a grain of salt), Kate Middleton is emerging as something of a family peacemaker when it comes to the situation between Prince William, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle.

This all comes on the heels of the revealing documentary, Harry and Meghan: An African Journey, where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex opened up about their struggles in the public eye. “Any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable, and so that was made really challenging,” Markle said. “And then when you have a newborn, you know. And especially as a woman…it’s a lot. So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed. It’s um…yeah. I guess, also, thank you for asking, because not many people have asked if I’m okay, but it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes.”

Meanwhile, Prince Harry (sort of) addressed the rumors of a rift with his older brother. “Part of this role and part of this job, this family, being under the pressure that it’s under, inevitably stuff happens,” he said. “But look, we’re brothers, we’ll always be brothers. We’re certainly on different paths at the moment, but I’ll always be there for him and as I know he’ll always be there for me.”

Us Weekly reports that the Duchess of Cambridge hates seeing the Sussexes “so miserable.” Yesterday, it was reported that Middleton had reached out to Markle privately in an effort to help.

“While Kate’s concerned about Harry and Meghan’s well-being, she tries to stay out of the drama,” their source said. Apparently she also “hopes William and Harry will eventually heal the rift and let bygones be bygones.”

“The way she sees it, life’s too short to make enemies, especially with loved ones,” the Us Weekly source added. “She’s very levelheaded like that. Kate’s a family girl.”

This Is How Kate Middleton Is Reportedly Trying to Help Meghan Markle Behind the Scenes


There are very few people in the world who can relate to what Meghan Markle‘s life has been like since becoming a royal, but Kate Middleton is one of them. Of course, neither woman’s experience is exactly the same and neither were their lives before marrying Prince William and Prince Harry—but man, they must have a lot to talk about.

Given Markle’s recent comments about not being “okay” and the struggles she has faced with the British tabloid press, it’s not surprising to hear from royal sources that Middleton is trying to help her sister-in-law. “Behind the scenes I’m told Kate is doing her best to bring everyone together and help Meghan,” Phil Dampier, who has written several books on the royals, told Express UK. “I’m told she has reached out to Meghan and spoken to her on the phone. Kate feels sorry for her and knows that Meghan is struggling.”

“Any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable and so that was made really challenging,” the Duchess of Sussex told journalist Tom Bradby in Harry and Meghan: An African Journey. “And then when you have a newborn, you know—especially as a woman, it’s really, it’s a lot.”

Middleton, of course, has gone through three pregnancies in the public eye with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. But she suffered some of her most harsh press before she and William were married in 2011, when she was dubbed “Waity Katie” by the tabloids and her family’s commoner status was often discussed. Some of the criticism of Markle has been racially-tinged, which is an obvious difference, but the two women both came from the non-royal world and have had to adapt to the ways and protocols of the family.

It would seem natural for them to lean on each other at times—hopefully over a nice glass of wine.

Kate Middleton Made an Unexpected Appearance to Shop for Halloween Costumes


Kate Middleton‘s schedule usually involves events of a prestigious caliber: royal tours, speaking at a charity fundraisers, attending red carpets. But this week, unsuspecting locals found out that Middleton’s calendar also includes classic parenting activities, like taking her kids shopping for last-minute Halloween costumes.

Middleton, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte paid a visit to Sainsbury’s, a U.K. supermarket chain, to pick out costumes, the Mirror reports.

Unlike most occasions the royal family attend, the Duchess of Cambridge’s costume excursion was 100% casual. Princess George and Princess Charlotte followed their mother through the store to browse costumes. As they shopped, Middleton made some time to chat with royal fans in the store; She reportedly asked some children what they were planning on wearing for Halloween this year. Out of respect for the family’s privacy, her bodyguard reportedly asked shoppers to not take pictures.

Shopper Kathy Whittaker told the Mirror about the memorable sighting. “You don’t expect to see that when you go shopping,” she said. “I couldn’t concentrate on my shopping.” (Relatable.)

Even though Middleton was making a routine shopping trip, she was unsurprisingly wearing a polished outfit for her errand. “Kate was wearing black trousers and a black polo neck. Charlotte was wearing a little checkered skirt but I couldn’t see anything else,” Whittaker told the Mirror. “She just seemed so down to earth and beautiful as always.”

It’s unclear which costumes the royals landed on for Halloween 2019. But, perhaps like the rest of the Internet, the Duchess of Cambridge will settle on a Euphoria-inspired look, glittery makeup and all.
