Kate Middleton, Duchess Of Cambridge 'Being Coached By The Queen On How ...
Currently the royal family is experiencing a surge of popularity in the Commonwealth countries, something they hope the Duke and Duchess can build on. According to a new report the royal tour is of such importance that Queen Elizabeth, William's grandmother is taking a personal interest and is advising the Duchess ahead of the trip.
"Most importantly, the Queen can pass on her knowledge of the countries, their cultures, histories and the dos and donts of what to say and not say," a source told The Express.
The 1984 tour undertaken by Prince Charles and Princess Diana is reportedly fresh in the monarch's mind and she's keen that both William and Kate share the spotlight on the trip.
The royal insider went on: "Above all the Queen regards Catherine as the perfect partner for William and she thinks they are a great team.
"She doesn't want to see a repeat of Charles and Diana when they toured Australia and the crowds were only interested in meeting Diana."
We think Kate would do well to listen to the Queen, she has after all had some experience in this kind of stuff after 60 years on the throne. During her reign the queen has visited Australia 16 times and while Kate and Wills might be the fresh faces of the royal family, she's the one with the experience.
Sir John Major, former prime minister, told the paper Kate should take any advice she can from the queen.
"It isn't easy suddenly to find yourself the focus of world attention," he said,
"It takes a lot to get used to but she has very good advice.
He went on: "People forget the Queen may be a monarch but she's also a mother and a grandmother and a very human person. Of course she wants them to be successful and of course she offers help and they'd be foolish not to take it.
"One can see what a good relationship exists."
