King Charles Gives Kate Middleton Blessing To Do The One Thing He Never Let Diana Do
A royal expert claims the Princess of Wales has the King’s personal approval to assume a leading public role. This comes despite historical tensions, as King Charles was famously jealous of the attention Princess Diana received during their marriage.
Previous reports indicated worries that Prince William and Kate’s popularity could eclipse that of King Charles and Queen Camilla. However, one expert now suggests the monarch has given the couple his blessing to occupy the spotlight.
Princess Diana’s popularity heavily strained her marriage. Charles reportedly grew envious as public adoration consistently focused on his wife, a dynamic Diana herself acknowledged in a 1995 interview.
Similar speculation has emerged regarding Kate, with her appearances sometimes generating more excitement than those of Charles and Camilla. An example was her surprise visit to the Chelsea Flower Show.
According to royal expert Robert Jobson, Charles has permitted Kate to “steal the limelight.” The King recognizes that William, Catherine, and their children are now the natural focus for public attention and media interest.
Jobson explains that for the monarchy to survive, it must remain relevant to younger generations. He notes that while Charles wears the crown, the Wales family will inevitably draw significant public engagement.
William and Kate actively maintain this connection through social media, sharing polished updates and behind-the-scenes glimpses of their work. Their modern approach is seen as key to sustaining the monarchy’s future relevance.
