Prince William and Kate Middleton have been married for nearly 13 years. The Prince and Princess of Wales, whose royal titles changed over from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after King Charles took the throne, have both worked hard to build up their reputations with the public . And Kate, who now holds the same title that Princess Diana once held, has in some ways become the face of the royal family — just like William’s mother.

Still, despite the similarities between the two women in that sense, William said before he and Kate even wed that he never wanted her to feel like she had to "fill" his mother’s "shoes."

When William and Kate first met at the University of St. Andrews in 2001, he could see there was something special about her. However, the two knew each other for at least a year before they started dating, and while they hit a couple of bumps in the road during their eight-year dating relationship, they ultimately always came back to each other.

In William and Kate’s engagement interview back in 2010, William made it clear that he had no expectations for Kate to fill his mother’s shoes but rather wanted her to be her own person. "No one is trying to fill my mother’s shoes," William said in the interview. "It’s about carving your own future and your own destiny, and Kate will do a very good job at that."

Kate Middleton keeps Princess Diana close to her

Although Kate never met William’s mother, the Prince of Wales proposed with Diana’s engagement ring and called it a way of "keeping her close" to it all. Kate has since found other ways to honor Diana, often looking to her past outfits for fashion inspiration and even wearing her jewelry.

Kate has taken her role as the Princess of Wales seriously, but she has never lost sight of who she is. One of Diana’s biggest roles as a royal was actually just being a mother to her two children, which she considered her biggest joy. Kate seems to have become the same way, always choosing to put her own children ahead of her royal duties. And while some people think Kate’s work ethic is lacking , others think she is just doing her best to be a hands-on mother while also being one of the most famous women in the world.

Queen Elizabeth Shock: Monarch Sparks Speculation That Blue Could Be Bad Luck Since She Wore The Shade To Princess Diana, Sarah Ferguson’s Weddings

Queen Elizabeth also wore blue to Princess Margaret’s wedding as well as Princess Anne’s nuptials. And just like Wales and the Yorks, both royal marriages also ended in divorce.

Style Expert Reveals That Color Blue Suits Queen Elizabeth That’s Why She Wears It To Royal Weddings"There’s an old superstition on wearing blue to weddings - ‘Married in blue, you will always be true.’ Therefore, it’s surprising that the Queen has worn blue to so many royal weddings which have ended in divorce. Blue can often symbolize strength and authority, so it’s definitely a color that’s fit for a Queen. It’s interesting that both the Queen and the Queen Mother wore blue to Diana and Sarah Ferguson’s weddings. The similar color choices show the unity and bond the two had, showing the love the Queen has for her mother and family. They also both wore blue dresses to Prince William’s christening," they told Express.

The style experts also claimed that the color blue is a cold shade, unlike green, purple, and yellow, which are oftentimes described as warm hues. But warmer colors reportedly match the general feeling of weddings.

Queen Elizabeth Wore Yellow, Green To Cambridges And Sussexes Weddings For A Reason

Several years later, the queen attended the royal weddings of Prince William and Kate Middleton and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. But for both occasions, she did not wear a blue outfit. Instead, she wore yellow attire to the wedding of the Cambridges, and she chose green when she attended the Sussexes’ wedding.

According to the style experts, both colors represent spring, growth, and new beginnings. And these are the descriptions that can be used when talking about the new generation of royals.

Meanwhile, the queen’s daughter-in-law, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, previously revealed why her grandmother typically wears bright colors instead of dark ones. She said that Her Majesty wants to make sure that royal fans can easily spot her amid a massive crowd of people.

"She needs to stand out for people to be able to say ‘I saw the Queen.’ Don’t forget that when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are two, three, four, 10, 15 deep, and someone wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the queen’s hat as she went past," Sophie said in the documentary The Queen at 90 (via Reader’s Digest).

Princess Anne Heartbreak: Prince Charles' Sister Regrets Her Treatment To Princess Diana? Royal Reportedly Had A Hard Time Moving On After Sister-In-Law's Death

Queen Elizabeth's only daughter Princess Anne has become the epitome of a well-rounded royal. As the eldest child of the British Royal household, Princess Anne learned to be stern in her early years. History has shown that Princess Anne and then sister-in-law, the late Princess Diana, were not best friends. The two were never close with one another, and insiders shared that Princess Anne made no effort to befriend the young royal.

What Is The Age Difference Between Princess Anne And Princess Diana?

Palace insiders believe that one of the greatest dividers of Princess Anne's relationship with Princess Diana was the age gap. There was an eleven-year age gap between the two royals. Princess Diana was especially young when she married Prince Charles. Furthermore, Princess Anne learned that Diana was an emotionally charged young woman, very different from her stern and direct ways.

According to insiders, Princess Anne would often share with her friends that drama would follow wherever Princess Diana went. A source stated:

"It's not Diana's fault that Anne never took to her. Diana was intimidated by her, and Charles never made much of an effort to help his new wife bond with his sister."

Princess Anne's Disappointment Over Being A Godmother

There are stories in the palace that Princess Anne was disappointed with Princess Diana when she was overlooked as a godmother to her nephews. When Prince William was born, Princess Anne was not named a godmother. Her younger brother Prince Charles assured her that she would be a godmother to their next child.

When Prince Harry came along, Princess Diana decided to give the role of godmother to her ex-flatmate, Carolyn Bartholomew. This decision sealed the fate of Princess Anne and Princess Diana's relationship.

A royal source shared:

"It caused a huge upset behind the scenes."

When Princess Diana and Prince Charles separated, Princess Anne was rumored to be relieved and more than welcomed the news. According to sources, Princess Anne was glad that she no longer had to cope with Diana's mood swings.

An unnamed tipster said:

"Anne was glad she wouldn't have to put on fake friendliness and deal with what she called the tedium of Diana's mood swings."

Princess Anne Regrets Treatment Towards Diana

In 1997, news broke out that Princess Diana was involved in a fatal car crash in Paris. When confirmation came that the Princess of Wales perished in the car accident, Princess Anne was one of the first royals to voice her regrets of not cherishing her time with Diana.

The gruff Princess Anne had difficulty accepting the young Princess's death. A royal insider revealed:

"Anne's not one for shows of emotion. She's like her mother in that way. But Diana's death got to her. Deep down, she did regret not making more of an effort with her. Most people knew they weren't on great terms, so the mourning period and funeral afterward was tough on Anne."

Royal experts believe that, if Princess Diana and Prince Charles were still together, the relationship between Princess Anne and the late "People's Princess" would have been a different story.

Sources claimed that Princess Anne thinks about the what-ifs with Princess Diana until now. Furthermore, the Princess Royal reportedly also regretted not being there for Diana during her lowest point.

Stanton said this about Middleton, per Showbiz CheatSheet:

"We see this genuine authenticity with Kate and her willingness to pursue her passion in a way that connects with the public, as well as her willingness to step outside of the box compared to other royals. She’s very comfortable in her own skin in all manners of life and we see this through her style too — we see her just as confident in her bolder more regal outfits as she is in a polo shirt and jeans, just like Princess Diana was."
