Kate Middleton's destiny is all set out. When her husband, Prince William, ascends the throne, Kate Middleton will become Queen Consort. In the meantime, Elizabeth II has put all the necessary in place to ensure that the Duchess of Cambridge has the makings of a queen.

29 April 2011 completely changed her life. On that day, Kate Middleton married Prince William, heir to the British throne. Since this time, Kate Middleton has embraced her royal destiny and has been preparing to become Queen Consort. This Monday, 4 October, The Mirror published excerpts from the documentary “The Making of a Modern Queen”, broadcast on the British channel ITV. For Katie Nicholl, an expert on the royal family, it would appear that Elizabeth II, 95, has a plan in place for Kate Middleton.

According to Katie Nicholl, the Duchess of Cambridge's role in the royal family is twofold. “The first is to produce heirs, which she has done, and the second is to learn how to become queen one day”, she explains in the documentary. First mission accomplished: Kate Middleton has given three children to Prince William: George, Charlotte and Louis. As for her second mission, Prince William's wife is a “queen in the making”, as “we see the Duchess taking on more duties, more royal commitments”, Katie Nicholl notes.

“A duo with the ability to reshape and project the monarchy into the future”

Elizabeth II is well aware of Kate Middleton's power. The young woman could give the British monarchy a real boost and secure its future. Since their marriage, the monarch has gradually given the couple more responsibility. For Katie Nicholl, Kate and William are “a duo that has the ability to reshape and project the monarchy into the future”.

On 28 September in London, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles attended the premiere of the latest James Bond film No Time to Die.
