The daunting task that Kate Middleton faces: ‘Princess Diana won’t be forgotten'

Hindustan Times  

As the new Princess of Wales, Prince William's wife Catherine is inevitably drawing comparisons with her superstar predecessor, William's late mother Diana, whose legacy still frames Britain's view of its royal family. But the accession of King Charles also heralded another symbolic change: the first Princess of Wales since Diana's death 25 years ago. "Clearly the focus is now on William, Catherine -- Prince and Princess of Wales -- working alongside our new king and queen consort," royal historian Ed Owens told Channel 4 television. Robert Hazell, a constitutional expert at University College London, said Kate would privately be a good sounding board for William in the "lonely" position of Prince of Wales and heir to the throne.
