Expert Hilary Fordwich said, "The universal admiration of Princess Catherine has rendered her the monarchy’s saving grace in our current turbulent times.”

Hilary went on to claim the Princess of Wales popularity is due to her “authenticity, her dedication to family, duty and country, as well as her understated elegance and lack of any celebrity-seeking pretenses."

The proof of Kate Middleton’s popularity was on full display during her royal visit to Italy, her first following her cancer diagnosis, the expert said and added “The crowds were packed and eager to catch even just a glimpse of her as she went about her schedule."

Another royal expert and former royal aide Ailsa Anderson has said Kate Middleton is our future queen. “As Queen Elizabeth used to say, you have to be seen to be believed. She is glamorous, she is beautiful.”

The expert continued, “She is warm and approachable. On the back of the king's successful visit to the States, William and Kate are upping their game."

Meanwhile, the report further says during Kate's trip to Italy, local reporter Paolo Rosato told People magazine that the Princess of Wales "is like Diana was."
