(CNN Spanish) --
Until a few months ago, the cheerful image of Elizabeth II - with her beautiful coats of multiple colors and matching hats - was the iconic and much-loved vision of the Queen of the British.
And to see her, as a splendid little piece of color, on official visits and in the midst of the crowds of people during her long reign, was a sign for her subjects that their very dear Her Majesty was still with them, as a symbol of harmony, permanence and historical stability.
That everything was fine, as she had been for 75 years!

And looking back to the present, we are witnessing, before our very eyes, the “creation” of a queen from the not too distant future, in the great –and very positive– coverage that Catherine, Princess of Wales is receiving.
We are undoubtedly witnessing the history of the United Kingdom.
Although also witnesses of moments of crisis, such as the great controversy over Harry and Meghan, including Spare, Prince Harry's memoir, which will be released on January 10, 2023.
King Charles III and Camila, the queen consort, have a great challenge ahead in terms of popularity and acceptance among the British people, and Charles has even had eggs thrown at him at two public events in the same month – and they are 74 and 75 years old! !– Future monarchs are already being thought of intensely.
And it is said that Carlos after a short reign should abdicate.
And this future full of questions is helped a lot by the fact that Catherine, Princess of Wales, since her wedding to Prince William on April 29, 2011, has learned very well everything about the importance of her situation in the monarchy and embodies what she should be a future model queen.
And she is a modern queen, serene, kind, with genuine good humor and (most importantly) a happy woman in love with 3 lovely children!
Better impossible!
And, for this reason, we also follow more than ever the classic and always elegant wardrobe of the Princess of Wales, who dresses with more style than ever and protects English designers (Self Portrait, Catherine Walker, Alexander McQueen, Jenny Packham, Mulberry , Alessandra Rich and Emilia Wickstead), whenever she can!
And that interest in fashion without forgetting the vibrant green, blue or yellow coats worn by Elizabeth II, who said she wore bright colors “so that everyone can see me because I am very short and would 'get lost' in the crowd”.
Due to her gestures of sympathy and enormous kindness with the people, fun moments with her children and evident love and complicity with her husband (the future king!), Catherine is an ideal example to keep the succession of the British monarchy stable.
And the most curious thing is that this future queen attributes her cheerful and balanced character to a very happy childhood in the midst of a well-run middle-class family, and without a drop of blue blood!
Well done Kate!
