This is how Kate Middleton joined the royal family on her own terms

Kate Middleton has never been one to simply fall in line with tradition, she’s a bit of a rebel with making her own rules! A royal author has now revealed how Kate Middleton joined the British monarchy on her own sweet terms. 

On April 29, 2011, both Prince William and Kate Middleton had a life-changing moment at Westminster Abbey, London. Her entry into the royal family came with important responsibilities, but guess what? Kate Middleton wasn’t there to embrace her new role without some boundaries!

Royal author Robert Jobson, in “Catherine, the Princess of Wales: The Biography,” spilled the tea on the key stipulations the Princess of Wales made before joining the royal family, making it clear that things were all about balance. The reason? Family life is her priority.

“This didn’t mean she wouldn’t fulfill royal obligations; far from it,” Jobson stated. “But she wanted to focus her patronage on charities close to her interests and engage deeply with their missions.”

Since then, Kate Middleton has excelled in her royal responsibilities while being an incredible mom to her three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. She has also become one of the most popular faces of the royal family, a fashion icon, and a dedicated philanthropist.
