Prince William and Kate Middleton are Royal Family's true power players

The royal commentators and fans see Prince William and Kate Middleton as the Royal Family's true power players.

The Duchess of Cambridge is preparing more than ever for her role as future queen consort alongside husband Prince William, taking on more royal duties in absence of the Queen as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who stepped back as senior working royals last year.

Nicola Alpe, a columnist, wrote: "For a while it looked as if Harry and Megan would be the power couple of the Royal Family, but even if they were still there, Wills and Kate are now operating entirely on another level."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had a year filled with memorable public moments. And, during there engagements, they have proved themselves as fabulous royal couple.

The columnist added: "Whether it's playing the paps at their own game by releasing snaps of the next generation of heirs, to changing the way we think and talk about early childhood education and mental health, to absolutely bringing it in the style and appropriate affection stakes during public appearances,  Prince William and The Duchess of Cambridge are the Royal Family's true power players."
