It’s clear to those around the Duchess of Cambridge that in the decade she’s been a royal, Kate Middleton has put a lot of work into understanding her role and its place in the bigger picture of the monarchy. Rebecca Priestley, Kate’s former private secretary, told the Daily Mail that when it came time to decide just what philanthropic direction to go in, Kate had “clearly put a lot of thought in it and made very clear that, for her, it was about listening and learning.” These were lifelong commitments she was about to make — something it’s clear the future queen doesn’t take lightly.

In order to decide and plan out what her role as a royal would be, Priestley says the duchess put the work into understanding the impact she could make. “She wanted to learn,” Priestly said. “There were a lot of under-the-radar visits and she saw people privately to help her understand the issues she wanted to put her name to,” (via the Daily Mail).

What Kate adds to the family, though, goes beyond her willingness to learn or her commitment to care. Patrick Jephson, Princess Diana’s former chief of staff, explained, “As the Prince Andrew scandal shows, the monarchy is in desperate need of reassuringly conventional royal performers.” He added, “Catherine is just what these troubled royal times need,” per Page Six. Jephson went on to say that “it’s no exaggeration that the Windsors’ future lies in her hands.”
