Kate Middleton 'tore up' rulebook to grow 'firm friendship' with Queen Mary of Denmark

Princess of Wales and Queen Mary of Denmark visit the Danner Crisis Centre in 2022.

Kate Middleton reportedly "tore up" the royal rulebook to pursue a “firm friendship” with Queen Mary of Denmark outside the usual channels.

The Princess of Wales is one of the most senior members of the British Royal Family but she’s not afraid to push certain boundaries when it comes to royal protocol. In recent years she and Prince William have been taking a more personal approach at engagements, agreeing to be in selfies.

She reportedly “tore up” the rulebook to reach out to Mary of Denmark in her own way "years ago", helping to form a “firm friendship” with her.
