“Princess Anne and the other senior working royals are all stretched thin — and none of them are young,” Catherine Mayer, author of the upcoming book Divide and Rule: Royal Women and Their Battles, told People

Meanwhile, expert Russell Myers says:

“Catherine is undoubtedly a central force in the monarchy’s popularity and ability to achieve its goals and move forward. There is no better time for her to return,” Myers added.

Queen’s former secretary Ailsa Anderson says: “She is our future queen. As Queen Elizabeth used to say, you have to be seen to be believed. She is glamorous, she is beautiful. She is warm and approachable,” Anderson said. “On the back of the king’s successful visit to the States, William and Kate are upping their game. It is a clear signal she is back in business.”
