Kate Middleton praised for her quiet conference ever since she joined Prince William and the Royal family.

The Princess of Wales, who first met Prince William during their university in

St. Andrew’s, had some captivating personality reason.

Writing for Woman & Home, royal editor Duncan Larcombe notes: “I first met Kate in 2005, when little—if anything—was known about the beautiful St Andrews undergraduate who had caught the eye of our future king.”

“At the time, she had been told that if journalists or photographers approached her, she needed to simply smile and act as though she was pleased to see them.”

“My conversation with Kate during a ski trip in Switzerland that year was brief, and instead I ended up speaking to Prince William as she quietly slipped away,”

Larcombe said: “But in our encounter I was struck by how sincere she seemed to be, and someone who had her head well and truly on her shoulders.”

“For some, a royal encounter is too much to contemplate, but Kate has always taken it in her stride,” wrote Larcombe.

“She might have married into the Royal Family, with all the trappings that come with that, but her relatability is just what's needed in this turbulent time for the Firm.”
