Catherine is being nurtured for her future roles by members of the family on the workings of Britain’s national institutions.
Nearly 12 years after her marriage, Catherine is being gradually introduced to her future role as the Queen and consort.
In marked contrast to the experience of Diana, Princess of Wales, who complained of being thrown into a life of royal duty with no advice at all, the Princess of Wales will be given a series of private briefings by the King and other staff members.
