Meghan Who? Duchess Kate Is Of Greater Importance To The Queen As She Brings "Serenity", Experts Say
What does the Queen really think of Meghan Markle? That seems to be the question on people’s lips lately especially considering Meghan and Harry’s decision to step back from being senior members of the royal family. With all the Sussex-related drama, people understandably look to the Cambridges for some calmness in the storm. And with good reason, too.
Ready for the throne
Kate Middleton and Queen Elizabeth have a lot in common. The Duchess is married to Prince William, who is second in line to the British throne. Based on this, Kate will very likely become a Queen consort one day, possibly wearing the same crown as Her Majesty.
Right now Prince Charles and Camilla are next in line, but this doesn’t prevent Kate from being prepared for the role, anyway. So even as Her Majesty shows Prince Charles the ropes, she’s taking Kate and William under her wings as well.
Royal expert Rebecca Long told Us Weekly that one of the signs that the Queen is preparing Kate is that the Duchess is now getting more responsibilities and the two ladies have frequent discussions about the monarchy and what it entails.
Her favorite Duchess
Since Meghan joined the royal family, people have wondered which of the Duchesses really have Queen Elizabeth’s heart. Sure, the Queen did a great job embracing Meghan despite all the criticism she faced, but as it turns out, her main focus remains on Kate.
One thing that people have praised has been how Kate has calmly and gradually incorporated herself into the life of a royal. She dated William for several years and they have been married since 2011. As a result, she has wormed her way into the hearts of many.
In addition, Queen Elizabeth, known to be a very private woman, approves of Kate’s no-drama lifestyle. There hasn’t been any major scandal with her and even her family members. Things have been smooth-sailing for the most part and this could be something Her Majesty really appreciates.
Royal commentator Neil Sean pointed out to FoxNews that the Duchess of Cambridge has brought "serenity" to the Queen.
No huge tabloid busts up with the in-laws and fathers. What has really evolved is how gently and quietly the queen is sublimely guiding, advising and helping in a very discreet manner the future queen that will be Kate.
Sean further added:
A courtier told me that ‘Kate is the queen’s number one priority as she knows it will be her who the real monarchy will fall onto in the future.’

This aspect has been particularly compared to Meghan Markle whose life and family often ignited major drama since her relationship with Prince Harry was made public.
How’s Kate prepping?
As The Queen takes a close interest to the Duchess, you may wonder how Kate is reacting to all of this.
