Kate Middleton’s unshakable resilience and “ruthless” discipline are forging her path to become a future queen, a royal expert has said. The Princess of Wales, 43, is said to hold
significant influence over the House of Windsor — and is already gearing up for her husband Prince William’s ascension to the throne. According to a royal commentator, the beloved royal’s
no-nonsense approach to decision-making within the Firm has prepared her for the future. “Her emphasis on a ruthless discipline in her regimented daily routine and commitment to
self-improvement has helped her,” Hilary Fordwich told Fox News. “She divides her time meticulously between parenting, supporting the heir to the throne, and her royal duties and manages to
fit in an intense workout regime.” EXPLORE MORE “Regarding her three children, she can combine tradition with a modern, more middle-class approach to family,” she added. “This, on top of her
dedication to duty, is seen as essential for the monarchy’s relevance and continuity.” It comes just days after a well-placed royal source told People that Princess Catherine is the most
popular member of the British royal family. “She takes things seriously — and thank goodness for that,” a palace insider told the outlet. Simon Lewis, a former Buckingham Palace
communications chief, said that the mom of three is “very much seen as a player at the center of team Windsor.” Elsewhere, royal author Valentine Low told the outlet that over the years, the
princess had “developed a toughness” that has helped her navigate royal life. “She has this public image of being nice and smiley,” Low said. “But she is strong-minded, strong-willed, and
prepared to fight for what she wants and what she thinks is right.” Indeed, renowned royal expert and commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said that the future queen has been through the
wringer, and has come out stronger as a result. “The onset of a life-threatening illness can make a person tough,” he told Fox News, referring to Middleton’s bout with cancer. START YOUR DAY

and bringing up her family means the experience, although traumatic, can be used to advantage in the years ahead.” Fitzwilliams added that the princess “needed confidence as a public
speaker, which she now has.” “She is a fashion icon, which she uses to enormous advantage. And she and William are so close, as their PDA clearly shows,” he went on. “They are the monarchy’s
future. They work brilliantly as a team now, and they will continue to do so when William becomes king.”
