Kate Middleton is apparently taking a page out of the late Queen Elizabeth II‘s book when it comes to handling the royal race row and controversy following Omid Scobie‘s bombshell new book, Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival.
Denise Palmer-Davies, a PR expert who spoke to The Sun, according to the Daily Express UK recently dished: “We know that Kate looked up to the Queen and learned a lot from her.” The source added: “There are so many similarities between the two of them, but it’s now really only since the Queen has passed that we’ve started to notice them.”
Palmer-Davies went on, noting that Queen Elizabeth’s strength and power garnered global respect, and “we now see Kate emerging as this Queen in waiting, who is just as strong and powerful.” By adhering to one of the late royal’s essential principles, the Princess of Wales, 41, is demonstrating her commitment to fulfilling her royal duties, Palmer-Davies said.
Kate Middleton Is Reportedly Adhering To Queen Elizabeth II's Teachings Amid Royal Race Row
The expert added that Princess Kate is following the Queen's "never complain, never explain" rule regarding the royal race row. "We have seen her out and about, at important engagements, smiling, and showing the world she is strong - and that’s the shield," she said. "It’s a shield of strength and stoicism really."
After all, when arriving at the Royal Variety Performance last month, Princess Kate appeared radiant in a chic and elegant turquoise gown from Safiyaa with striking shoulder detailing and graceful, flowing sleeves.
Despite the recent turmoil for the royal family, including the race row that arose after the publication of the controversial book Endgame, the Duchess of Cambridge appeared unfazed as she paired her gown with a beaming smile.
Though senior royals in the UK have reportedly expressed "dismay" over the book’s claims regarding concerns about the skin color of Prince Archie expressed by unnamed senior royals, Kate appeared composed and stylish in her attire for the event held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. As they mingled with performers, Kate and her husband Prince William were caught in a snapshot chatting with none other than Cher.
Kate's ensemble for that evening consisted of the eye-catching gown with cape sleeves designed by Safiyaa, a beloved brand of Meghan Markle's, which she accessorized with an exquisite crystal bracelet, J. Crew earrings, Gianvito Rossi suede pumps, and a clutch from Jenny Packham.
Amidst all the glitz and glamor of the evening, the new book by royal reporter Scobie, Endgame, caused a stir due to its coverage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's claims of racism within the royal family. While William and Kate have remained silent on the topic, Scobie later clarified that the inclusion of certain names in the Dutch edition of the book was a result of translation errors.
The Waleses had to make their way through a throng of reporters who were keen on eliciting their comments before they could enter the event hall. A video captured by People Magazine reveals that the onlookers shouted questions pertaining to Scobie's book and a viral on-air discussion about it held by Piers Morgan.
William and Kate faced questions like: "Did you watch the Piers Morgan show last night, Your Royal Highnesses?" and as Vanity Fair reports: "Your Royal Highness, have you got a comment about Omid Scobie’s book?"
Scobie said in an interview that aired on Monday, November 27th on Good Morning America that he does "know who made the comments about Archie's skin color," but reportedly never meant to reveal it in his book.
"The names [King Charles and Princess Kate] were mentioned in letters between Meghan and Charles that were exchanged sometime after the Oprah interview," he added.
Scobie's recently published book, Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival, has caused quite a stir since its release on November 28th regarding the Sussexes, King Charles, Princess Kate and racism accusations within the royal family.
