Kate Middleton has demonstrated her ‘suitability to be queen’ with her cheerful public appearances amid the Omid Scobie race, experts tell PALACE CONFIDENTIAL

The Princess of Wales has proven she is fit for the ‘rough life’ of royal life with her eloquent delivery of this week’s events – despite the royal racing row following the publication of Omid Scobie’s book, experts have told Palace Confidential said.

Richard Eden, diary editor of the Daily Mail, noted that Kate’s calm and confident composure during a series of public appearances this week, including the Buckingham Palace Diplomatic Reception and the Royal Variety Show, had demonstrated her “suitability to be queen”.

Her calm comes after King Charles and Kate Middleton were named among the royals who allegedly made comments about Prince Archie’s skin color in a Dutch translation of Scobie’s new book, Endgame.

Royal editor Rebecca English noted that this is not the first time the Princess of Wales has shown courage in times of turmoil. In 2012, French magazine Closer printed images of the then Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing in the south of France in 2012 – but her response was stoic and professional.

After spending time with the royal family in Malaysia on the day the media storm erupted, Rebecca thought Kate was “as cool as a cucumber” and “as elegant and affable as she had ever been” – even though William, on the other hand, was tense and tense. of anger.

Presenter Jo Elvin then asked Mr Eden about Omid Scobie’s constant reference to the Princess of Wales as ‘Katie Keen’ in Endgame – a character from the US cult comic series Archie.

Katy Keene, it turns out, is a well-known character from the cult American comic series Archie. And also happens to be a favorite of Meghan.

Last year, the former actress used her Archetypes podcast series (RIP) to tell listeners about her love for the comic. “I read a lot of Archie Comic books as a kid,” she told Mindy Kaling. “I’ve always wanted this cookie cutter’s perfect life.”

In the 1960s cartoon, later turned into a television series starring Lucy Hale, Katy is the girl next door, longing for fame and dripping with ambition, who eventually becomes a Broadway star.

Meghan, meanwhile, made it clear that she sees herself more as Betty – the kind but meek character from the Archie stories known for rescuing injured birds and helping the homeless.

“I’m the smart one, not the pretty one,” she told Kaling.

During the podcast, Mr Eden further explained: ‘Omid Scobie, a Brit, raised in Britain, who would never have heard of this comic, suddenly heard this term. “Who could he have heard it from?”

“I think he may have given away more than he likes to say,” he added.

The podcast went on to discuss the claim that Harry and Meghan have been excluded from the high society wedding of the year of Harry’s childhood friend Hugh Grosvenor, while William and Kate have both been invited.

Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, and one of the richest men in Britain, is said to have wanted to invite the Sussexes but has apparently decided against it to avoid clashes on his big day amid rising tensions between the royals after the release of Omid Scobie’s new book.

He is said to have chosen the Prince and Princess of Wales over the Sussexes to avoid awkward moments for King Charles and Queen Camilla during the wedding, The Sunday Times reported.

In the podcast, Rebecca explained the matter further: “I think this story is actually a good example of the ongoing unrest that is still reverberating because of Harry and Meghan’s decision two or three years ago.”

‘A story emerged this weekend… that Harry and Meghan were not invited to the wedding because William and Kate and Charles and Camilla were going.’

“It just shows how uncomfortable the situation really is,” she added.

Richard Eden went on to clarify his understanding that Harry and Meghan had originally received a save the date card but were subsequently rejected, adding that the couple informed the New York Post of their situation.

But “the Duke of Westminster effectively had to choose a side, and it is clear which side he chose,” he said.

For Rebecca, the situation highlighted the priorities of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

‘It struck me that we have heard such a deafening silence on the big topic of the week [of] really serious allegations of racism, and there’s no word from the Sussex’s, but they feel they should tell whether they got a save the date card or not.

“I’m losing it, I have to say,” Rebecca concluded.
