Kate Middleton holds the Windsor family’s future in her hands, according to a former royal aide

Patrick Jephson, the late Princess Diana’s former chief of staff, said earlier this year, at the height of royal scandal following the release of Prince Harry’s explosive memoir Spare, that the Princess of Wales could serve as the family’s saviour.

In response to Prince Andrew’s ongoing disgrace, Page Six quoted Jephson as saying, “As the Prince Andrew scandal demonstrates, the monarchy is in desperate need of reassuringly conventional royal performers.”

“Catherine (Kate) is just what these troubled royal times need – it’s no exaggeration that the Windsors’ future lies in her hands,” he added.

“It helps that Catherine, like Diana, has that indefinable but essential royal quality: presence,” Jephson continued, adding that Kate has “mastered the ultimate long game of the monarchy.”

“She has the bearing, the gravitas, the regal factor that already sets her apart from other royal women as a future queen,” Jephson continued.

Jephson’s sentiments were echoed again recently by Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell, who said: “The future rests on Kate, and that’s an enormous responsibility because if she decided that she didn’t want to be a part of her marriage any more, then I think the royal family would collapse.”
