Kate Middleton has been deeply committed to her royal duties despite health struggles. The Princess of Wales returned to her public duties with full force after undergoing cancer treatment, despite being advised to take it slow. As the future Queen of England, experts say, Middleton is already 'disciplined', and her commitment to the Crown reflects in her work. They hailed her ability to seamlessly manage the responsibilities of a mother, wife, and working royal.

Royal experts Hilary Fordwich and Richard Fitzwilliam recently discussed Middleton’s daily routine as she prepares for her future role. Fordwich told Fox News Digital, “Her emphasis on a ruthless discipline in her regimented daily routine and commitment to self-improvement has helped her." She continued, “She divides her time meticulously between parenting, supporting the heir to the throne, and her royal duties and manages to fit in an intense workout regime.” The expert further opined that the mother of three “can combine tradition with a modern, more middle-class approach to family” when it comes to raising her children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Heaping praise on the Princess, the expert said, “This, on top of her dedication to duty, is seen as essential for the monarchy’s relevance and continuity.”

Middleton is currently in remission after undergoing preventive chemotherapy for an undisclosed form of cancer. Her cancer announcement came last year, after she had an abdominal surgery. Following her health scare, Fitzwilliams believes that Middleton’s life-threatening illness made her ‘tough.’ He further explained, “When they have a clear goal, as Kate has, the maintaining of the monarchy and bringing up her family means the experience, although traumatic, can be used to advantage in the years ahead.”

He also claims the 43-year-old has grown more confident as a public speaker, which highlights her partnership with Prince William. The expert said, “She is a fashion icon... which she uses to enormous advantage. And she and William are so close, as their PDA clearly shows. They are the monarchy’s future. They work brilliantly as a team now, and they will continue to do so when William becomes king.” Middleton had her husband by her side throughout, as he took a break from his royal duties to support her during her cancer battle.

Earlier, royal author Valentine Low also told People magazine that Middleton "takes things seriously – and thank goodness for that." She echoed the Princess's determination to support the future King while becoming resilient herself. Low gushed, “She has this public image of being nice and smiley... but she is strong-minded, strong-willed, and prepared to fight for what she wants and what she thinks is right.” According to sources, Middleton has supposedly become the most popular royal within the family.
