‘Progressive’ Kate Middleton snubs outdated Royal etiquette

Kate Middleton is praised for reforming herself with modern times.

The Princess of Wales has recently been spotted stepping aside from Royals rules and etiquette and closing her own car door.

Speaking about her new habit, former royal butler Grant Harrold said: “It sounds like a little thing, but it’s very interesting in terms of an example how the Royal Family is evolving and becoming less formal.”

He adds via Select Car Leasing: '

“At one time, opening and closing their doors without any assistance would have been unheard of. You never would have seen the late Queen opening her door at public events. Of course she did it in private, but never at official engagements.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton believe the monarchy needs to be more accountable in the upcoming years.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are expecting to change how things work in the Royal institution when they make King and Queen.

Royal editor, Russell Myers,tells US weekly: “Speaking to people very, very close to William and Kate [Middleton], they have a totally different vision for the monarchy. It needs to be accountable, it needs to speak to the younger generation, not only at home, but abroad.”

Myers adds: “It also needs to create a system that works for the people and certainly what they have tried to do is get their family home life right and then work on the public profile and that’s very, very different to how the Monarch has been structured in generations beforehand.”

“There’s been a lot of talk about a slimmed down monarchy for many, many years, and certainly, if you looked at what [King] Charles’ view of that was maybe 10 years ago, it would have been [Prince] Harry at the center,” he the notes.
