KATE MIDDLETON HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY OVER THE YEARS, BUT WHEN SHE FIRST JOINED THE FIRM SHE WAS TEASED OVER A HABIT SHE HAS... KATY HALLAM and EMMA
MACKENZIE 18:52, 31 May 2025 The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is now a seasoned Royal who rarely puts a foot wrong during her official engagements. However, she wasn't always
so polished and it took some time for her to get into the swing of things. Despite being Prince William's long-term girlfriend for many years, it was only after their wedding that Kate
began conducting Royal duties. READ MORE Dr Michael Mosley's widow shares final words they shared before he went missing Initially, she had one particular habit that became a running
joke within the Windsor family. In an interview marking the late Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday, Kate revealed that her in-laws would "tease" her about this habit, which she
had to learn to correct over time. Article continues below Kate shared that this even happened during her very first engagement with the late Queen, saying: "The most memorable
engagement for me I suppose was an away day to Leicester and I went without William so I was rather apprehensive about that. "I think there is a real art to walkabouts, everyone teases
me in the family that I spend far too long chatting so I think I've still got to learn a little bit more and pick up a few more tips I suppose.", reports the Mirror. Kate Middleton
opened up about the Queen's supportive nature during a Royal gathering, remarking on her kindness: "She was very supportive. "The fact she took the time to make sure that I
was happy and looked after for that particular occasion, which probably in everything that she's doing is a very small element, which just shows how caring she is, really." The
Duchess of Cambridge has won the nation's heart, topping YouGov polls last year as the most favoured Royal and maintaining a strong 64 percent public approval rating. Her natural charm
and easy-going attitude while performing Royal duties have significantly contributed to this popularity. Article continues below Yet Kate admitted she's tried to rein in her tendency
for lengthy chats, recalling times when Prince William had to gently prompt her to move along, such as at a wedding they attended. On a recent trip to Jordan for the majestic nuptials of
Crown Prince Al Hussein of Jordan to Princess Rajwa held in 2023, Prince William was captured on video nudging Kate to conclude her exchange with the happy couple, allowing others their
moment to extend their congratulations.
