King Charles Gives Kate Middleton Blessing To Do The One Thing He Never Let Diana Do

Royal commentators say the Princess of Wales has been encouraged by King Charles himself to step into the spotlight, despite his well-known discomfort with Princess Diana’s overwhelming popularity during their marriage.

In the past, royal insiders suggested there were worries that Prince William and Kate Middleton’s public appeal could eclipse King Charles and Queen Camilla. However, one expert now claims the King has accepted—and approved—this shift.

During his marriage to Diana, Charles reportedly struggled with how public attention gravitated toward her. Large crowds often focused on Diana alone, leaving him feeling sidelined and frustrated.

Diana openly discussed this tension in her 1995 Panorama interview, explaining how constant media focus on her created emotional strain. She noted that the imbalance made sharing public duties difficult and led to complicated personal challenges.

More recently, similar comparisons have emerged involving Kate. Reports claim her unexpected appearance at the Chelsea Flower Show drew more enthusiasm than Charles and Camilla’s visit later the same day.

Royal expert Robert Jobson argues that Charles now understands this dynamic and has given his blessing for William and Kate to command public attention. He believes the King recognizes that the monarchy’s future depends on appealing to younger generations.

William and Kate have embraced modern communication by actively using social media. Through curated posts and behind-the-scenes videos—such as content shared during the Coronation weekend—they aim to remain relatable, visible, and relevant to the public.
