Princess Kate is “adopting” Princess Diana’s style and has started to become “more like her over time” as she has the “common touch”, a royal expert has claimed.
Former royal butler Paul Burrell said the Princess of Wales has “never put a foot wrong” and the royals would “collapse” without her.
He explained Prince William’s wife does exactly what his mother did when she was one of the first people “that actually bent down to speak” to the public.
The expert said, speaking on behalf of Slingo: “I see her speaking to people on their level and that’s what Diana introduced into the Royal Family.
“That’s a classic example of Kate following her mother-in-law, by having that common touch”.
Burrel added Princess Kate is the “jewel in our crown” because “if there wasn’t Kate it would all collapse”.
But the former royal butler went on to say that whilst Kate will never be Diana as she “was unique and a one-off”, the Princess of Wales will be a “close second”.
“She has worked tirelessly, never put a foot wrong and is a great role model for women,” he said,
According to Burrel, the nation is watching “a Queen in waiting” in Kate as the royal “adopts” Diana’s style more and more.
“I see Kate’s similarities with Diana more and more as time goes by, I see her adopting her mother-in-law’s style.
“I see the clean, simple lines, the professional execution of her outfits, which are costumes for a world stage.
“I see Kate adopting Diana’s clean, elegant, professional classic style that she had towards the end of her life, not the fussiness in the 80s.
“As Kate matures I see that similarity even more. I see the solid colours, I see the hat away from her face so people can see her. I see her growing into her role as a Queen in waiting. That’s what we are watching.”
