However, according to a royal expert, Kate Middleton’s influence should not be overlooked. In fact, the expert believes the Duchess of Cambridge might be the “most powerful” royal at the moment.

Kate Middleton’s popularity has grown during the pandemic

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has forced many people to rethink the way they approach work. In Kate’s case, the duchess has managed to make the most of the difficult situation.

For example, when the United Kingdom was on lockdown, she continued to carry out royal engagements. Like many folks around the world, Kate jumped on Zoom to work with charitable organizations and promote important causes.

Additionally, Kate worked with the National Portrait Gallery to publish a photo book called Hold Still. The book, which was released in May 2021, features 100 images that document life in the U.K. during the pandemic.

Kate’s recent work has made her more likable to the public. Author Katie Nicholl explained to 60 Minutes Australia, “I think some people might say that the lockdown that we’ve experienced here—well, three of them—in many ways was the unlocking of Kate. I think that the public got to see more of the true duchess than they’ve ever been able to see before.”

Why Kate Middleton is the Most Powerful Royal Family Member

Is Kate Middleton even more powerful than the queen herself? With changing positions of power it’s easy to see how the duchess will soon be leading the royal family.

They may not be next in line, but being so close to the throne puts Kate in a major position of power! It’s a lot to take on as upper ranking members of the British Royal family, but that’s exactly what Kate signed up for when she decided to marry for love.

Ever since their wedding was broadcast for all the world to see, people have been watching Kate’s every move! Her level of influence both in the commonwealth and within the royal family are key. Since Meghan and Harry have stepped away and other members of the family are getting up there in age, that pretty much leaves William and Kate to take the majority of the workload!

The Queen won’t be around forever, and when the time comes for the next royal to take the throne, Kate’s life and responsibilities as a senior royal will change regardless of her title. Will Kate eventually be the head honcho of the British Monarchy? It sure seems that way! What do you think of Kate Middleton’s power in the royal family?
