Kate Middleton has allegedly been putting more pressure on herself ever since she became the new Princess of Wales. Royal fans know that the moniker previously belonged to Princess Diana.

And during her first trip to Wales, Middleton was photographed in a stunning red ensemble that was fittingly called The Spencer. Years ago, Princess Diana also wore a red outfit when she visited Wales.

According to In Touch Weekly, Middleton knows that comparisons between her and Princess Diana will continue for many years to come so she’s feeling so much pressure not to make a single wrong step.

“She takes great pride in her title and appears to be transitioning into her role without a glitch, but she’s feeling the pressure. No one could ever fill Diana’s shoes, not even Kate and she knows that,” the source said.

The source also claimed that Middleton would always want to honor her late mother-in-law’s legacy. But there’s also no denying the fact that she wants to carve her own path as the new Princess of Wales so she’s been hard at work in the past four weeks.

“Charles has been giving Kate and William additional responsibilities and Kate finds it very hard to say no. She’s basically at the king’s beck and calls. She’s taking her perfectionism to the extreme, obsessing about being on top of her game as wife to the next monarch. She struggles to give herself a break and switch off,” the source said.

Still, there’s no denying the fact that Middleton’s anxiety levels are through the roof. As a result, she has been struggling to have decent meals and has lost a considerable amount of weight.

The tabloid insisted that the Princess of Wales has also caused Prince William to worry about her. Luckily, she will always have her husband by her side to help her out.

However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. It’s not true that Middleton is stressing over her role as the new Princess of Wales.

Nothing much changed for Middleton since the queen’s death. She may have been given more royal duties and responsibilities, but she’s also used to her job because she has been doing it for 11 years.

So, there’s really no reason for Middleton to feel stressed out.
