Kate Middleton: Four Ways She’s Changed the Royal Family

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has been a crucial member of the royal family since marrying Prince William in 2011.

Along with her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, she is one of the most beloved members of the monarchy.

While Kate does an excellent job of fulfilling her royal duties, she has also shaken up some elements of the royal family.

Here are four ways Kate Middleton has changed the royal family.

1.

Fashion Guidelines

Kate Middleton is known for being one of the most fashionable members of the royal family.

While adhering to most of the rules of royal attire, she has also rebelled once or twice, proving that she is keen to let her character shine through.

For example, she has decided to ditch tights on occasion and wear dresses slightly above the knee.

Kate is fine with breaking the rules when it comes to fashion, and she does it with style.

2.

Raising the Royal Children Her Own Way

Kate is passionate about being involved with her children as they grow up.

She has only one nanny for the children rather than a team, which normally cares for the tots.

Herself and Wills are eager to make sure their children have as normal an upbringing as possible, keeping in mind that they are royalty.

William told BBC News in 2016, “As far as we're concerned, within our family unit, we are a normal family.

I love my children the same way any father does, and I hope George loves me the same way any son does to his father, so we are very normal in that sense.”

3.

Family Photographer

Kate has recently become an official photographer for her royal family.

Since welcoming her first son, Prince George, Kate has been keen to show off her secret talent and has since taken all the pictures for the royal children.

Most recently, Kate photographed her newborn Prince Louis with his sister Charlotte to celebrate the princess' third birthday.

Feeling confident to mix things up, Kate has taken on the role of family photographer and done it exceptionally well.

4.

Relationship with Prince William

Another rule surrounding the royal couples is that they avoid public displays of affection when on official engagements.

While Kate and Wills do keep things PG while out and about, there have been a few times the couple have held hands during outings, which most fans love to see.

Their relationship is one of mutual respect, love, and support, which is evident in their public appearances together.
