Duchess of Cambridge’s Future Role as Queen: Queen Elizabeth II Proud of Her Protege

The British Royal Family has been through a lot of challenges lately, but there is one thing that the Queen is proud of – the Duchess of Cambridge's remarkable rise to future queen.

According to Woman's Day, the monarch has confided in her closest aides that she feels her work with Catherine is done, and she's all set to one day be Queen Consort to the future King William.

Palace insiders reveal that the Queen has poured everything into preparing Catherine for the road ahead, and she's proved to be an A-plus student.

The Duchess of Cambridge, who wowed at the recent Earthshot Prize, a climate initiative that is the brainchild of Prince William, has been a wonderful addition and asset to the Royal Family ever since she married Wills, says a source.

Kate's climb to the top of Royal popularity polls, and the Queen's affections, has been a slow, and at times fraught, journey.

Before she and William were engaged, Kate copped a barrage of toxicity from within and outside of the monarchy, says a source.

However, her silent strength and resilience earned her a lot of respect from the Queen, which has only grown over the years.

As soon as Wills and Kate made things official, the Queen took Kate under her wing and slowly but surely taught her everything she knew about the job.

Kate proved an excellent pupil, and the Queen's instinct that she was born to rule has proven right several times over since then.

The Duchess of Cambridge has received praise for presenting an award and giving a short speech during the televised ceremony of her husband's inaugural The Earthshot Prize.

Kate accompanied Prince William to the star-studded event on October 17 and presented the final award to the Republic of Costa Rica, despite the Royal Family's tendency to avoid taking to the stage in a Hollywood way.

Speaking on the podcast Royally Obsessed, Royal commentator Rachel Bowie said that the Royals are not like stepping up to the microphone in a Hollywood way.

However, Kate did an excellent job despite being out of her comfort zone.

Before presenting the Protect and Restore Nature award, Kate called for action to save the planet and warned of the impact of climate change on the next generation.

Speaking directly to a global audience, the Duchess of Cambridge said, “Nature is vital to us all.

A thriving natural world regulates our climate, nurtures our physical and mental health and helps feed our families.

But for too long we've neglected our wild spaces and now we're facing a number of tipping points.

If we don't act now, we will permanently destabilise our planet and we will rob our children of the future they deserve.”

The Earthshot Prize was launched by the Duke of Cambridge and Sir David Attenborough last year, in a bid to create positivity within the climate change debate.

The Duchess of Cambridge's speech was well received, and she was praised for her eloquence and grace.

The Queen is happy with the Duchess's progress and feels that she is ready to take on the role of Queen Consort when the time comes.

Her Majesty believes that Catherine has what it takes to be a great queen, and she has no doubt that she will be an asset to the Royal Family for many years to come.

In conclusion, the Duchess of Cambridge's spectacular ascension to future Queen has been a slow and at times fraught journey, but it has been worth it.

The Queen is proud of her protege and feels that she has done an excellent job in preparing Catherine for the road ahead.
