Kate Middleton Preparing For Her Role As Queen Consort
A source told Us Weekly that Kate Middleton has been preparing for her role as queen consort for years. Queen Elizabeth also helped trained the Duchess of Cambridge, and she has also passed on some of her royal engagements and titles to Middleton.
There are whispers that the Duchess of Cambridge would soon take over as the head of the Grenadier Guards, a role which was previously given to Prince Andrew. But when the latter was stripped of his royal titles, the role was returned to the queen.
Royal fans know that Her Majesty could no longer take on more duties because of her age. At 96, she has not been attending royal engagements just like she used to. So, Middleton taking over the important role would be a wonderful help for the queen.

At the time, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were accused of being out of touch. After all, they were photographed greeting children from behind a metal wall, among many other things.
“Foreign tours are an opportunity to reflect. You learn so much. What is on the minds of Prime Ministers? The hopes and ambitions of school children. The day-to-day challenges faced by families and communities. I know that this tour has brought into even sharper focus questions about the past and the future. In Belize, Jamaica, and The Bahamas, that future is for the people to decide upon… Catherine and I are committed to service. For us, that's not telling people what to do. It is about serving and supporting them in whatever way they think best, by using the platform we are lucky to have,” Prince William said in his statement (via Town & Country).
