Kate Middleton follows Prince Philip’s ‘golden rule’ about surviving royal life<\/p>\n
Princess of Wales Kate Middleton is reportedly following Prince Philip\u2019s ‘golden rule’ about surviving royal life.<\/p>\n
Prince William\u2019s grandfather Prince Philip reportedly shared a \u2018golden rule\u2019 with the future queen and seemingly issued a blunt warning about surviving royal life.<\/p>\n
According to the Fox News Digital, Prince Philip warned Kate Middleton on avoiding celebrity status while representing monarchy.<\/p>\n
Prince Philip told Kate Middleton “If you think the attention is on you personally, you\u2019ll end up in trouble.<\/p>\n
“The focus is on your role, what you do, what you support. It\u2019s not focused on you as an individual. You\u2019re not a celebrity. You represent the royal family.”<\/p>\n
The publication quoted Gyles Brandreth\u2019s 2021 book “Philip: The Final Portrait” claiming this.<\/p>\n
The book claims Prince Philip advised that one crucial way to avoid feeling like a star was to “never look at the camera” when photographers were present. <\/p>\n
Philip was reportedly “relieved” that Prince William had found a “level-headed girl” like Kate.<\/p>\n
Brandreth shares “I have been on walkabouts with [the Princess of Wales].<\/p>\n
“She does not look at the camera. Whenever she is interviewed, Catherine talks about the matter at hand, never about herself.” <\/p>\n
Royal expert Hilary Fordwich told the publication it was easy for the Princess of Wales to follow Philip\u2019s advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate Middleton follows Prince Philip’s ‘golden rule’ about surviving royal life Princess of Wales Kate Middleton is reportedly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":392157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,533,2832,532,2831,7710,519,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-392156","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-kate-middleton","12":"tag-prince-of-wales","13":"tag-prince-william","14":"tag-princess-of-wales","15":"tag-royal-families","16":"tag-royal-family","17":"tag-uk-royal-family","18":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115135308692054535","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392156","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=392156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/392157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=392156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=392156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
