While she may not be everyone’s cup of Earl Grey, you cannot deny that there are many things women could be learning from her example today. In my humble opinion we have been long overdue a role model like Kate.

Let the royal lessons begin…

Trends come and go, fashions change and seasons come and go but steadfast determination and patience win in the end.

It’s actually rather sexy to be conservative and dignified - men rarely treat with respect the kind of girls who give themselves away too easily to any boy who pays them attention.

Remember that the best things come to those who wait. True love waits. Never settle for less.

Let the fruits of the spirit be what people notice about you above all things. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

There is strength in silence...Beautiful things don’t ask for attention and Kate knows this. Moderate your social media, know when to shut your mouth and most importantly - never use hate words... You only need to show the world what you wish them to see. Exclusivity is elegant.

Family come first...Support your spouse, always. Until death do you part. Even if they are irritating you today, remember your vows now bind you and the mirror always reflects back.

Do not let your emotions rule you. No one likes to keep the company of an emotional hothead.

Stand for something. Find a cause that you connect with and help to raise awareness - life has more meaning when you do things beyond simply trying to meet your own selfish needs.

I find Beatons work too stiff myself. The Duchess has a lot of ooomph as to personality and a good photographer or painter could bring that out.
