As the wife of heir to the throne Prince William, the Princess of Wales is a future Queen – and she previously revealed exactly what she will do when she becomes the official Consort
It’s been over three years since Kate became Princess of Wales upon the accession of King Charles. But when her husband Prince William eventually comes to the throne, she will receive another yet promotion.
Kate will become the Queen – the same as Camilla – and will probably be known as Queen Catherine, Catherine being her real first name. When this happens, it is likely that Kate will have an even bigger platform on which to showcase the causes and organisations close to her heart. And on a previous royal engagement at the Chelsea Flower Show, a curious child quizzed her on the first thing she’ll do when she takes the top job.

The question was posed by Saron Fikremariam, a pupil from one of 10 primary schools enjoying the inaugural children’s picnic at the show.
The 11-year-old shared Kate’s swift answer, revealing: “I asked her what’s the first thing she is going to do when she becomes Queen and she said she is going to help kids.”
Elsewhere on the trip to the Flower Show, Kate sat down to enjoy picnic time with the children, where she was asked by the youngsters about royal life, to which Kate replied: “You have to work hard”.
It comes as last year, William opened up about how the monarchy will be modernised under his stewardship in the future. Speaking to actor Eugene Levy in his Reluctant Traveller TV series, he said ‘change’ is central to his vision of modern royalty.
He said: ““I think it’s very important that tradition stays, and tradition has a huge part in all of this but there’s also points where you look at tradition and go is that still fit for purpose today?”
“Is that still the right thing to do? Are we still doing and having the most impact we could be having? So, I like to question things, is what I’m really getting at.
“I think it’s safe to say that change is on my agenda. Change for good – and I embrace that and I enjoy that change,” he continued, saying that those who were too “attached to history” were left without “any flexibility”.
“Because you worry that the chess pieces move too much and therefore no change will happen – and I like a little bit of change,” he declared. “I want to question things more, That’s what I’m saying.”
