'THE QUEEN WILL PLAN A SPECIAL SURPRISE FOR KATE'S ANNIVERSARY'

This April, it will be 10 years since Kate Middleton married Prince William and became an official member of the royal family – and OK! can reveal the Queen is likely to mark the anniversary in style.

In 2019, Her Majesty chose to celebrate eight years of the Duchess of Cambridge being part of The Firm by appointing her a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order.

And chatting to OK!, royal expert Duncan Larcombe says, “It’s highly likely she’ll be planning a special secret something to honour Kate’s 10 years in the royal family – something she can do to mark it. Kate and the Queen have a fantastic relationship. Kate strikes that balance between bowing to her as head of the royal family in public but being able to check in with her as the great grandmother to her children.”

Like all families, the royals have found things diffcult amid the pandemic. But Duncan reveals Kate and the Queen have stayed in close contact throughout – and it is believed it was Kate who taught Her Majesty how to use Zoom video calls.

“Kate has her own direct line to speak to the Queen and she calls her to check in on her and give her updates on the children,” he says. “She always leans on her for advice. It’s believed Kate was the one to teach the Queen how to use Zoom and that’s been lovely, so she can see her greatgrandkids and stay connected.”
