Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, once contemplated refusing the title of Princess of Wales due to concerns about being compared to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. In a new book by Robert Jobson titled “Catherine, The Princess of Wales: A Biography of the Future Queen,” it was revealed that Middleton felt anxious about inheriting Diana’s iconic title, which was closely associated with the beloved royal figure who tragically passed away in 1997.
Jobson highlighted the discussions surrounding the similarities and differences between Middleton and Diana, both in the public domain and within the royal household, which added to the pressure on Middleton. The prospect of being constantly compared to Diana caused stress for Middleton, to the extent that she considered following in the footsteps of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, who chose not to adopt the Princess of Wales title.
