Diana’s Legacy: Why Prince William will be a Better Husband than Charles

Richard Kay, a reporter friend of the late Princess Diana, has this to say as to why he thinks Prince William will make a better husband to Kate than “cold” Prince Charles ever was to Diana. Patronizing, but with a lot of truth. Let’s hope our new princess won’t have to suffer the same ill fate the late Diana went through during her marriage. It’s already been reported that Prince William wants to ease Kate Middleton’s transition into royal life, which would be of great benefit to her.

However, her closest protectors are likely to be Insp Karen Llewellyn, 45, and Sgt Emma Probert, 39, who have shifted roles from their previous jobs with Princesses Beatrice & Eugenie. The two female officers are said to be experts in martial arts and escape tactics.

A Scotland Yard source said: “It was thought very important to have two female members of the team who will get on well with Kate. They have been specially chosen for their experience and the fact that they are easy to get on with.” Beatrice and Eugenie were said to be “sad but philosophical” at losing Emma.“They got on really well with her but they understand that Kate is the priority at the moment,”
