Kate Middleton is lauded for her team spirit as she compliments the royal family.

The Prince of Wales, who recently kept it lowkey and subtle at cousin Peter Phillips wedding to Harriet Sperling, is praised for not stealing the bride’s limelight.

Kate wore a belted Roland Mouret dress for the day.

Speaking on behalf of CasinoHawks, former Royal butler Grant Harrold says: “Kate is aware that the world is looking at her, even when traditionally they should be looking at the bride—and she does what she can to make sure she doesn’t steal the show.”

“She puts a lot of thought into her outfits to make sure she looks the part without overshadowing the bride,” Harrold continues.

“She also wore a bracelet that used to belong to Princess Diana, which was very kind to see,” Harold notes as he lauds the future Queen.
