Catherine has been credited with bringing fresh energy and glamour back to the Royal Family following her recent visit to Italy.
The Princess of Wales reportedly impressed royal watchers with her popularity during the overseas trip, with experts claiming her presence highlighted the enduring appeal of the monarchy.
One royal commentator said the “extraordinary glamour and youthful star quality” Catherine brings to public engagements had been greatly missed during her time away from royal duties.
The expert added that while palace aides would not want to place pressure on Catherine, they are likely hopeful that the successful Italy tour could lead to more international visits representing Britain and the monarchy.
They also noted that the true influence of the Royal Family becomes especially clear during overseas tours, where senior royals continue to attract huge crowds.
“There are 10 European monarchies in all, and yet it’s our Monarch and our heirs to the throne who consistently draw the biggest crowds wherever they go,” the commentator explained.
The expert further compared the scenes in Italy to the public reaction once seen during tours with Diana, Princess of Wales, saying the enthusiastic crowds cheering for Catherine brought back memories of travelling with Diana over the years.
