"The Prince and Princess of Wales will approach their roles in the modest and humble way they've approached their work previously,” the sources further added.

Kate is also said to “appreciate the history” as she follows in the footsteps of Lady Diana, but will “want to look to the future as she creates her own path in the role”, a source said.
