Princess of Wales Kate Middleton has been very good at managing expectations, a royal expert has claimed.
Speaking to the People, royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith says, “She [Kate] has been very good at managing expectations, and it’s wise for her to downplay it a bit because when she does more than people anticipated, it has a greater impact.”
Smith continued, “It’s evident that she is feeling closer to 100 percent than one would have thought at this stage.”
Another royal expert Ingrid Seward reflected on Kate Middleton’s return to royal duties following her cancer..
