Former BBC correspondent Jennie Bond told the Daily Express: "I believe that if you ask Kate what her primary mission in life is, she would say: 'To be a mother'"[2]. Her family—namely husband William (42) and children George (11), Charlotte (9), and Louis (7)—remain her top priority. Princess Kate plans to uphold this approach in her anticipated role as queen, bucking conventional royal precedent.
Even her wedding 14 years ago symbolized her independence, as she insisted on having her hair down instead of the traditional updo worn by most royals. Notably, King Charles (76) has acknowledged her independent spirit and bestowed on her a rare privilege: the ability to grant royal honors to companies[2]. This privilege positions Kate above both Princess Diana (36, 1997) and Princess Anne (74) within the British monarchy, a distinction NOT held by her predecessors[3].
