King Charles is “delighted” with how Princess Kate stepped up to lead the Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day commemorations, according to a royal expert.
It was the first time Kate had attended the service at the National Memorial Arboretum, laying a wreath for the first time and meeting families of military personnel as well as veterans.
She was also seen at Remembrance Sunday alongside key members of the Royal Family, including the King.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes King Charles will be elated with Kate stepping up to the plate, as she said: “I’m sure the King is delighted every time Catherine steps up to perform high-profile duties.

“He must recognise that she is an absolutely key figure in the future of the monarchy, and - just like William - he is proud of how completely she has embraced her role.”
The royal expert added that Kate was the “very picture of a modern future Queen, carrying out one of the most solemn duties in the royal calendar”.
She continued to say the future Queen “showed her commitment to the Remembrance events by taking a prominent role at the Albert Hall commemoration, the Cenotaph service and then at the Arboretum”.
The Princess of Wales is currently working out the balance of dealing with a hectic family life, as she and Prince William share three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, whilst also managing the hectic royal calendar.
Bond claimed: “All working mums suffer mum guilt to a greater or lesser degree, and I’m sure Catherine is no exception, but she is fortunate enough to be able to more or less ring-fence school holidays and to arrange her schedule so she can do many of the daily school runs.
“People might complain that she’s especially privileged to be able to do that, but most people know they will be able to retire one day.

“That is not the case for Catherine. So I admire her for prioritising her children in these early years, and for protecting her own health after suffering such a serious cancer diagnosis.”
Armistice Day will not be the last time that the princess will be in the public eye this year, as she will be doing more events in the lead up to Christmas.
The expert continued: “We seem to be seeing plenty of her this Autumn, and soon she’ll be taking centre stage for her big Christmas carol concert.”
