Marrying into the Royal Family has changed the Princess of Wales’s life immensely and whilst she’s received so many special honours, she’s also lost a huge privilege she’ll never get back again. As she’s the future Queen Consort, it would be astounding to me if Kate continues to vote in UK elections and it’s likely she stopped exercising her right to do so in 2011.
Legally the Princess of Wales can vote, but it’s understood that she and her fellow royals choose not to do so. Speaking previously to TIME, Robert Blackburn, professor of constitutional law at King’s College London, explained that political neutrality is incredibly important to the Royal Family as a whole, not just the monarch.
