Kate Middleton says her husband, Prince William, helped her prepare to succeed his late mother, Princess Diana. “You’re going to be a fantastic Princess of Wales,” a royal admirer congratulated the Duchess of Cambridge on June 4, to which Middleton replied, “That’s really sweet.” Before nodding to her husband, she said, “I’m in good hands.”

The exchange, which occurred during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee festivities, went popular on social media recently.

When the Queen, 96, dies, Middleton, 40, will inherit the title made famous by Diana.
