Kate Middleton has recently received significant praise from former royal courtiers and staff members, elevating her reputation within royal circles, according to fresh insights revealed in a new publication.
A former staffer from Kensington Palace shared their personal experiences with royal author Tom Quinn in his latest book, “Yes, Ma’am: The Secret Life Of Royal Servants.” Within its pages, the anonymous insider extensively discussed perceptions surrounding Middleton’s resilience and adaptability in comparison to Meghan Markle.

The former palace employee candidly remarked that Kate Middleton “is actually a much stronger person than Meghan in many ways.” This strength, they indicated, stemmed from Middleton’s willingness to receive and implement advice, regardless of its origin within the royal household hierarchy.
The staffer elaborated on Middleton’s approachability and humility, noting she “was always happy to accept advice both from the lower staff, with whom she got on very well, and from the courtiers, even though some of them were initially very snooty about her.”
Despite facing similar challenges to those encountered by Markle, Middleton reportedly navigated internal criticisms and palace politics differently. “It was the same kind of backbiting gossipy criticism that Meghan had to put up with,” explained the former staffer.

Yet, the key distinction between the two royal women, according to the source, lay in their contrasting perceptions of palace expectations and behavior. “What Meghan saw as Kate being pushed around, Kate saw as an essential part of being a member of the Royal Family,” the former palace employee revealed.
Middleton’s adaptability to palace traditions, expectations, and etiquette appears to have fostered respect from both royal insiders and staff, distinguishing her approach significantly from Markle’s experiences. This adaptability and quiet strength have seemingly enhanced Middleton’s stature within royal circles, contributing to her enduring popularity both publicly and privately.
