In an interview with The Mirror, Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, expressed her appreciation, stating, "Catherine can look back over the past year with satisfaction." Seward emphasized that while Kate's primary focus remains her charitable endeavors, she has also become a skilled diplomat.
Seward noted Kate's growing confidence, mentioning, "She has conquered any fears about being the focus of attention and is able to enjoy playing the piano to the camera or delivering TV addresses with as much confidence as her husband [Prince William]."
Analyzing the positive influence of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Seward predicted, "They will be amongst the first to be invited to visit the new King and Queen of Denmark after the abdication of Queen Margrethe." Concluding her assessment, Seward declared, "At the age of 42, the Princess shows all the signs of being a perfect Queen Consort."
