Duchess Kate isn’t a working royal yet because she needs “princess training”



I put this story in the links yesterday, but I thought it was worth talking about in more detail, mostly because the details are so, so funny. You know how Duchess Kate is always compared to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana? You know how Prince William seems to actively encourage the comparisons, as does the press? Well, the good side of those comparisons is that the royal family is trying to “correct” some “mistakes” that were made with Princess Diana. Like, as soon as Diana and Charles were married, Diana was thrown into her full-time princess duties immediately, and she had a full set of charitable commitments within a few months. Diana was overwhelmed, and she felt unprepared. She was 20 years old (maybe 21). The royals don’t want that to happen to Duchess Kate, who is just a few months shy of 30, and who has a university education and barely any job history.
