“Could be your best friend one minute” Royal expert unleashes Kate Middleton’s potential
Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has recently been the subject of comments by a royal expert regarding her temperament, suggesting that she can be incredibly friendly one moment and quite the opposite the next. As she and Prince William approach their 11th wedding anniversary on April 29, insights into the dynamics of their relationship and comparisons with the late Princess Diana have emerged.
Currently, the 42-year-old Duchess is taking a break from her royal duties to recuperate from stomach surgery at a luxury hospital in London. Amidst her recovery, royal analyst Robert Jobson, known for his book “Diana: Closely Guarded Secret,” shared observations in a Mirror article that shed light on the royal couple’s marriage.
Jobson cited a courtier’s remarks about the Duchess’s mood swings, which were likened to those of Princess Diana. “They both have quite extreme mood swings, just as Diana did. She could be your best friend one minute and the next your worst enemy,” the courtier was quoted as saying.
In addition to Kate’s temperamental shifts, Prince William’s temperament was also discussed. The Duke of Cambridge is reportedly known for having a “notably short fuse.” A close royal aide shared with Jobson that William can occasionally lose his temper. “He can be a bit of a shouter when he loses it,” the aide revealed.
However, the same aide noted that both the Duke and Duchess are equally assertive in their disagreements, often leading to heated exchanges. Despite this, their deep understanding of each other usually helps in resolving conflicts swiftly. The aide added, “It’s fair to say the Duke and the Duchess give as good as they get if their disagreement results in raised voices. But they know each other so well, it usually blows over quickly – and she is, on the whole, a major calming influence on him.”
These insights offer a rare glimpse into the personal dynamics of the royal couple, highlighting the complexities and nuances of their relationship. While they maintain a composed and dignified public persona, these revelations suggest a more human side to their marriage, characterized by emotional highs and lows similar to those experienced by many couples. As Kate continues her recovery, the focus remains on her well-being and her anticipated return to royal duties post-Easter.
