The duchesses’ true colours come shining through as the Queen takes Kate into her confidence.

Queen Crowns Kate... As Hurricane Meghan Rages!

Ask any palace courtier and they’ll tell you the Duchess of Cambridge is the royal equivalent of Superwoman, juggling three young children as she amps up her work calendar, while never putting a foot wrong in public. And it seems that the Queen agrees.

Palace sources reveal the Monarch has taken Prince William’s wife into her confidence more than ever before.

It’s a desperate bid to save the embattled Windsors from the unprecedented public backlash since the Duchess of Sussex began, according to those in the know, “recklessly toying with the royal family’s reputation”.

STEPPING UP

Woman’s Day understands that the Queen has fast-tracked Kate’s rise up the family hierarchy, as an acknowledgement and reward for the 37-year-old’s diligence ever since the once-stellar publicity surrounding Kensington Palace’s “fab four” of Kate, William and Prince Harry with his new wife Meghan began to sour.

“Kate saw things were spiralling out of control months ago,” says a royal aide. “As soon as news leaked that Harry and William had fallen out over Meghan’s diva demands, Kate immediately put her hand up to take on more royal engagements than ever before.

“This is despite the fact that these glamorous events, which require many hours of hair styling and makeup, mean much more time away from her young children.
