When she first started taking part in official royal engagements, the Princess of Wales had one particular habit that she had to learn to correct, but it became something of a running joke in the Royal Family
These days, the Princess of Wales rarely puts a foot wrong and is always picture-perfect when she undertakes official royal engagements. But, just like everyone else, when she was a beginner she didn’t have it all quite down to pat straight away and it took her some practice to get into the swing of things.
Despite the fact that Kate had been Prince William’s long-term girlfriend for many years, it was only after their wedding that she was able to start conducting royal duties and at first she had one particular habit that became something of a running joke in the House of Windsor.
In an interview marking the late Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday, Kate revealed that her in-laws would “tease” her about the habit, which she had to learn to correct over time.
Kate explained that it even occurred during her very first engagement with the late Queen, saying: ” The most memorable engagement for me I suppose was an away day to Leicester and I went without William so I was rather apprehensive about that.
“I think there is a real art to walkabouts, everyone teases me in the family that I spend far too long chatting so I think I’ve still got to learn a little bit more and pick up a few more tips I suppose.”
