Kate Middleton transformed from role of 'back-up' to 'dominant star' at royal Christmas
Since joining the Royal Family, Kate Middleton has seemed to have an increasingly important royal role. The Duchess of Cambridge has been a senior member of the family and will often attend traditional royal events.
While the Queen has ruled out the ceremony this year due to coronavirus restrictions, the service usually takes place annually.
Kate’s important role at this event may have changed since she married Prince William in 2011, Judi suggested.
She said: “The Christmas Day walk to church at Sandringham used to be an opportunity to see the royals together in one large family group, complete with excited-looking children.
“Also to glimpse their rather more relaxed and less formal side as they celebrated the day with the rest of the nation.

“The rifts and scandals that rocked the royals had an impact on this traditional gathering though, thrusting Kate in particular into the spotlight as she progressed from a ‘back-seat’-looking royal bride to the Firm’s pivotal, dominant star turn in the space of a few years.”
Kate joined the Royal Family when she married Prince William at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011.
It was later that year Kate made her first appearance at the royal church service.
When she stepped out, the mother-of-three joined Prince William and Prince Harry as they closely followed Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
Kate had been part of the Royal Family for many months when she made her first Christmas appearance.
However, Judi claimed she still took a back seat at the service.
“Kate’s first Christmas saw her pushed back down the royal line-up, walking behind a very confident-looking Charles while wearing the kind of smile that suggested she saw herself as more of a back-up to some of the top tier royals,” Judi added.
“Kate wears a wide-brimmed hat that settles over the top of her eyes and her dimpled smile suggests some levels of diffidence.”
Kate’s role in the Royal Family appears to have grown since she first joined.
The mother-of-three has been given extra titles and responsibilities as she prepares to one day be Queen Consort.
Judi claimed this has led to an increase in confidence from the royal which has been visible at the Christmas Day church service.
Last year, Kate and Prince William’s three young children made their debut.
It was during this time that the Duchess seemed to go from taking a backseat to presenting herself as a leader in the family, the expert continued.
She said: “This was Kate’s moment as the new, deserving star and potential leader of the royal firm as she stands oozing confidence at the front of the royal group, taking her moment in front of the cameras with Charlotte with a very calm smile of pride.”
