After marrying Prince William<\/a> in 2011, Kate Middleton<\/a> became an integral part of the Royal Family<\/a>. Now, the Princess of Wales<\/a> is reportedly preparing for the future<\/a>, which will include her eldest son, Prince George, becoming king<\/a>. According to a royal expert<\/a>, Princess Kate<\/a> is very aware of what will be expected of her child.<\/p>\n

“She will never have a constitutional role, except as regent in a worst-case scenario, if George becomes king before age 18,” royal expert and historian Marlene Koenig told Us Weekly<\/a>. “She is there to be the loving, supportive mom in everything George does, because he is her son first and foremost.”<\/p>\n

Having been in a relationship with Prince William<\/a> for a decade<\/a> prior to their marriage<\/a>, Kate is reportedly under no illusions and “is not naive to her son’s future,” the publication explained.<\/p>\n

“She and William dated for nearly 10 years before their engagement was announced, which allowed her the time and space to learn about her future life as a member of the Royal Family,” Koenig told the outlet. The royal historian noted that Princess Kate will one day take on a new role herself as “a queen consort,” while also being “the mother of a future king.”<\/p>\n

When it comes time for George to become more serious about his destiny<\/a>, King Charles and Prince William will apparently step in to share “the knowledge and practice of their roles” with the young prince, Koenig explained.<\/p>\n

For now, the Princess of Wales reportedly has a “different” role from Charles and William, and is gently preparing her son for the throne, while prioritizing her role as his mother.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate Middleton wears a burgundy coat and matching hat and poses with son Prince George, who is wearing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334851,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[1500,7709,7714,7713,4044,5686,5681,533,12,5683,5682,5684,2832,532,2831,7710,519,5685,7711,7712,263],"class_list":{"0":"post-334850","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-british-royal-family","10":"tag-catherine","11":"tag-catherine-middleton","12":"tag-daily-news","13":"tag-global-news","14":"tag-inkl","15":"tag-kate-middleton","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-news-app","18":"tag-news-headlines","19":"tag-news-today","20":"tag-prince-of-wales","21":"tag-prince-william","22":"tag-princess-of-wales","23":"tag-royal-families","24":"tag-royal-family","25":"tag-today-news","26":"tag-uk-royal-family","27":"tag-william","28":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115008265354169096","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
