Queen Elizabeth II knew that she would leave a lasting legacy when her 70-year reign came to an end, but she saw a bright future for the monarchy. Her grandson, Prince William, had someone very special helping him for his future reign. Queen Elizabeth recognized early on that Princess Kate “would be a huge support to William when he assumed the throne,” and never doubted how well-suited she was to the role. Royal biographer Christopher Andersen, author of Kate! The Courage, Grace, And Power Of The Woman Who Will Be Queen, wrote about their unique bond for Women’s Day Australia.
