Prince William Said Years Ago That He Never Wanted Kate Middleton to ‘Fill’ His ‘Mother’s Shoes’ as Princess
Prince William and Kate Middleton have been married for nearly 13 years. The Prince and Princess of Wales, whose royal titles changed over from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after King Charles took the throne, have both worked hard to build up their reputations with the public . And Kate, who now holds the same title that Princess Diana once held, has in some ways become the face of the royal family — just like William’s mother.
Still, despite the similarities between the two women in that sense, William said before he and Kate even wed that he never wanted her to feel like she had to "fill" his mother’s "shoes."

When William and Kate first met at the University of St. Andrews in 2001, he could see there was something special about her. However, the two knew each other for at least a year before they started dating, and while they hit a couple of bumps in the road during their eight-year dating relationship, they ultimately always came back to each other.
In William and Kate’s engagement interview back in 2010, William made it clear that he had no expectations for Kate to fill his mother’s shoes but rather wanted her to be her own person. "No one is trying to fill my mother’s shoes," William said in the interview. "It’s about carving your own future and your own destiny, and Kate will do a very good job at that."
Kate Middleton keeps Princess Diana close to her
Although Kate never met William’s mother, the Prince of Wales proposed with Diana’s engagement ring and called it a way of "keeping her close" to it all. Kate has since found other ways to honor Diana, often looking to her past outfits for fashion inspiration and even wearing her jewelry.
Kate has taken her role as the Princess of Wales seriously, but she has never lost sight of who she is. One of Diana’s biggest roles as a royal was actually just being a mother to her two children, which she considered her biggest joy. Kate seems to have become the same way, always choosing to put her own children ahead of her royal duties. And while some people think Kate’s work ethic is lacking , others think she is just doing her best to be a hands-on mother while also being one of the most famous women in the world.

Princess Anne Heartbreak: Prince Charles' Sister Regrets Her Treatment To Princess Diana? Royal Reportedly Had A Hard Time Moving On After Sister-In-Law's DeathPrincess Anne reportedly regrets not cherishing Princess Diana.
Queen Elizabeth's only daughter Princess Anne has become the epitome of a well-rounded royal. As the eldest child of the British Royal household, Princess Anne learned to be stern in her early years. History has shown that Princess Anne and then sister-in-law, the late Princess Diana, were not best friends. The two were never close with one another, and insiders shared that Princess Anne made no effort to befriend the young royal.
What Is The Age Difference Between Princess Anne And Princess Diana?
Palace insiders believe that one of the greatest dividers of Princess Anne's relationship with Princess Diana was the age gap. There was an eleven-year age gap between the two royals. Princess Diana was especially young when she married Prince Charles. Furthermore, Princess Anne learned that Diana was an emotionally charged young woman, very different from her stern and direct ways.
According to insiders, Princess Anne would often share with her friends that drama would follow wherever Princess Diana went. A source stated:

There are stories in the palace that Princess Anne was disappointed with Princess Diana when she was overlooked as a godmother to her nephews. When Prince William was born, Princess Anne was not named a godmother. Her younger brother Prince Charles assured her that she would be a godmother to their next child.
When Prince Harry came along, Princess Diana decided to give the role of godmother to her ex-flatmate, Carolyn Bartholomew. This decision sealed the fate of Princess Anne and Princess Diana's relationship.
A royal source shared:
When Princess Diana and Prince Charles separated, Princess Anne was rumored to be relieved and more than welcomed the news. According to sources, Princess Anne was glad that she no longer had to cope with Diana's mood swings.
An unnamed tipster said:
