Prince William and Duchess Kate have everything a modern monarchy needs.
A former employee of the two is sure of that.
London - Prince William and Duchess Kate have been a couple for a decade.
In addition to their royal obligations, the couple also seem to master their family life with flying colors.
Her former private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, is therefore perfectly certain that Prince William and Duchess Kate have the best chance of modernizing the English monarchy when their time comes.
William and Kate: the royal dream couple
"They couldn't have gotten a better couple," said her former private secretary Lowther-Pinkerton in the current Royal issue of
People magazine
.
Their different origins would be very helpful for the royal couple, according to the ex-employee.
Kate comes from a hard working family.
It offers the perfect balance for William, the future king.
William, on the other hand, benefits from his knowledge of the British royal family. "He has the experience of knowing where the institution is and can see how it is developing," says Lowther-Pinkerton.
"The Duchess brings this pragmatic awareness of what it is like to come from a decent, down-to-earth family." The two therefore support and complement each other.
Duchess Kate and Prince William for modernizing the monarchy
In addition to their close cohesion, there are also modern issues that are driving the modernization of the monarchy.
Their charitable work, for example, on the subject of mental health, parenting or climate change plays a major role.
In other words, topics to which the British royal family had little reference so far, as another employee thinks.
But their behavior in the private sphere also plays a role, as a family friend reveals. As parents, the two would combine the legacy of tradition with modern upbringing, so the acquaintance. For Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, the former private secretary, there is no doubt that Prince William and Duchess Kate are "the modern face of the institution". Most recently, secret plans about Queen Elizabeth leaked out.
