Kate Middleton News & Update: Duchess Not a Queen Material

If the rumors are any indication, Kate Middleton has been following the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth to gain her favorable attention and also her admiration. She has been constantly disparaged and considered in no a fashion icon that Princess Diana once used to be.

After failing miserably to copy Princess Diana's style quotient, it looks like Kate Middleton is now focusing her attention on Queen Elizabeth and her fashion sense when she was younger. However, based on recent photographs from the Royal Trust Collection of Queen Elizabeth's ball gown, it is clear that Middleton is nowhere close to being as stylish and sophisticated as Queen Elizabeth used to be.

In other reports, Countess Sophie Wessex has condemned Kate Middleton as being so hypocrite so as to win favors of the queen and become her favorite. In fact, she is also accused of boasting about raising her children like any normal household when she only brings them out when there are public photo shoots.

Countess Sophie Wessex, on the other hand, has been keeping her kids away from the media attention as much as possible. In fact, she also pointed out that Lady Louise was not even aware that Queen Elizabeth is her grandmother.

The reason why Kate Middleton has such a hard time earning acceptance of Queen Elizabeth and Countess Sophie Wessex is because of the latter's love for history and horses. On the other hand, Duchess of Cambridge is only interested in fashion, fame and the lifestyle that comes with her title. As hard as Middleton may try, Queen Elizabeth is far from convinced that the mother of Prince George and Princess Charlotte is ready to take the queen's mantle.
