Royal editor Charlotte Griffiths, speaking with GB News, reflected on Kate's remarkable year despite the barrage of accusations. She highlighted Kate's professionalism in the face of adversity, noting her composed demeanor amidst the storm.
Once labeled 'Waitey Katie' for her decade-long courtship with Prince William, Kate's patience now seems to work in her favor. Griffiths emphasized Kate's strategic approach, describing how she "stood back, stayed calm, stayed quiet, and just waited for Harry and Meghan to thrash it out, tie themselves into knots, thrown in accusations her way by their royal biographer [Omid Scobie] ... and emerged the victor."
In praising Kate, Griffiths noted her ability to wait out the storm, maintaining her grace throughout. The royal commentator Jennie Bond also celebrated Kate's 42nd birthday, expressing admiration for how Kate has embraced her 40s, becoming more comfortable in her role and skin. Bond commended Kate for excelling in her royal duties while remaining relatable to the common people.
In the midst of criticisms and controversies, Kate Middleton has not only weathered the storm but has emerged as a symbol of grace, resilience, and regal composure.
