Imagine being scrutinized this closely. Mad respect for Princess Catherine for handling everything with such grace and class.

When my mother passed 19 yrs ago I lost it before, during and after the funeral. I could not stop crying. After she was buried I couldn't stay away from the cemetery. I was completely lost without her. The only person who could pull me out of my grief was my sister-in-law. She'd get me out of the house and drive me up to the Smokies because she knew I loved it there. She made me laugh when I wanted to cry. I couldn't have gotten through losing my mother without my sister-in-laws help.

Kate seems truly dedicated to her husband and Royalty. She follows directions well and loves the entire public relations among royals. She does a good job and makes them look good.

Catherine always has an unerring sense of how to conduct herself. She will be a magnificent queen.

I watched a great interview with Queen Rania who said that all the queens of the world would consult her Majesty for her wisdom as there has been no other woman in their position for as long as she and it was her Majesty who helped them in their roles in their countries and inspired them. What a legacy, influencing Royals, politicians and the public alike.

The Queen was a perfect example of strength, grace and composure. Her family exhibited the same qualities. Princess Anne was a rock, she was fabulous. Princess Katherine was strength as well. They honored the Queen well.

Her broach is the “Prince (Princess) of Wales Plume” and literally formal recognition of her new role.. she proved herself with her actions to the RF over 10 yrs before they were engaged and put through the most intense scrutiny from press and public without a word of complaint.

Princess Kate represents beauty and grace. We are so lucky to have her.

Holding in tears is a huge sign of strength. Now, she can grief in peace without the public watching.

Princess Anne and Princess Catherine… nothing but respect for the two of them

Princess Catherine will one day be a great Oueen. She is truly sad about the loss of Oueen Elizabeth II.

Oh my goodness I can see the gulp 😢. How strong she must be to hold back those tears. Do you know how hard it is to not let a single tear fall when you are truly grieving? 😔

Thank God for Princess Catherine. She has remained kind, respectful and loyal. Watching her hold back all her sadness was painful.

My heart goes out to them. I can’t imagine not being able to show emotion. Especially from someone you were so close to. Grandmothers are so special. I just lost mine back on August 17th and I haven’t been the same. Regardless of all the drama you can see the pain in all of them. Once the family Matriarch is gone it’s like the main thread that holds the family together is gone. I pray that they all find peace and healing through this most difficult time.

I’ve never been more grateful to be “ordinary” and able to grieve the loss of my parent in relative privacy, without the glare and criticism of the world.

[sandahlzoo]

This hurts my heart. Her family loved her. Many memories play through their minds and to exploit any of those is unfair. RIP. Ma’am.

Princess Catherine' is the epitome of grace and dignity. Even under extremely sad and exhausting circumstances She is remaining Gracious.

I’m just going to say it …. I absolutely adore Princess Catherine ❤ She is everything a royal should be. She balances her royal duties so perfectly with class, grace, humility and tact. I have so much respect for her. The Princess and the Prince of Wales are fantastic parents and will be a phenomenal King 🤴 and Queen 🫅 one day . Praying for the comfort of all the royal family during this sad time 🙏🏻😢🙏🏻😢🙏🏻😢

So I went back and watched what this was talking about with her gulping back her emotions and it really choked me up. It makes so much sense that the queen would want to spend time with Catherine to help prepare her way for being the future Queen. It even says a lot about Catherine that she would embrace the queen and take advantage of all she could learn from her. I remember seeing Catherine showing the Queen the garden that she had been apart of.
