Esther Krakue, a royal commentator, recently made an appearance on the Royal Report and stated Kate has been compared to Queen Elizabeth due to her popularity.
Esther explained: “Princess Catherine has effectively become the main ambassador for the royal family. One of the things that have made the royal family so durable over the years is their ability to adapt and understand the times that they are in and to really take some social cues from the environment, and nobody embodies that better than Princess Kate.”

Esther said: “[Kate] also understands the institution and the sense of duty and service that you must have to be a working royal. People are looking forward to her and her husband eventually becoming king and queen of this country.”

“Gradually, she has also earned the respect of the public and, I believe, of the rest of the family. We look at her now not just as William’s wife, but as our future Queen.”
