Kate and Prince William bringing Royal Family 'into modern times'
Prince William and Kate Middleton have been married for over a decade. The couple have recently taken on more involved roles within the Royal Family, earning them praise from fans and royal experts alike. Speaking on the couple's marriage, it has been suggested by royal expert Ingrid Seward that Kate is the "power" behind William and that the Duchess plays an incredibly supportive and active role in William's life. Ms Seward discussed Kate's role with host Kate Thornton on the Royal Beat.
Ms Seward said: "She [Kate] is the power behind William, I feel like.
Referring to one of the guests talking about Heads Together, a campaign set up by the couple and Prince Harry, the royal expert said: "It was Catherine's idea".
The royal expert added: "She's so clever that she implants ideas in William and lets him carry them out in his own way.
"[But] she doesn't take the credit, which is quite remarkable".
