ROYAL brides can expect their lives to dramatically change when they marry a prince, Kate Middleton included.
And in a hope to prepare her for the role, the Queen was on hand to teach her future granddaughter-in-law the ways of being a royal before her wedding to Prince William in April 2011.
Commentator Ashley Pearson said that the Duchess was given lessons on how to become a “royal wife” from the Queen herself.
She revealed that one of her main lessons was how to protect her modesty during public engagements.
Speaking on Amazon Prime’s Kate Middleton: Working Class to Windsor, she said: “From the beginning, Kate Middleton had a great deal of support from the Royal Family which was really instructed by the Queen.
“This was to make sure she knew as much as she could possibly know and what to do in every situation – bearing in mind, of course, that she didn’t grow up in this world.”
She added: “There were things like learning how to get out of a carriage without exposing your modesty and learning how to bend down to get flowers from a young girl without exposing your modesty.
“Things that you would never think you’d have to learn but, of course, a woman in her position would certainly need to know.
“There were all kinds of small details and little bits of etiquette – how to sit, who to curtsy to, who not to curtsy to, what fork to use and whatever else they felt she needed to know.
“She was actually given lessons on how to be a royal wife.”
