Princess Kate Middleton is redefining her royal role as she prepares for her future as queen. In a new Us Weekly cover story, experts opened up about how Kate, 43, can adjust to the commitments of the crown following her cancer diagnosis and treatment. “Her ability to manage this transition will set a precedent for how the royal family balances duty with personal well-being in the future,” royal commentator Afua Acheampong-Hagan told Us. When it comes to “the balance between tradition and modernity,” Kate and her husband, Prince William, will have their work cut out for them “at a time when discussions about the relevance of the royal family are ongoing.” Fellow royal commentator Amanda Matta, meanwhile, said that Kate’s focus on her family was “reinforced” throughout her health battle, telling Us, “Kate’s ability to blend hands-on parenting with her role reflects a modern, relatable approach to royal life.” For more exclusive updates and top stories, read below:
