Kate Middleton is reportedly not afraid to stand up for herself.

In recent months, a lot of things have been said about the Duchess of Cambridge. And some of the negative statements about them allegedly came from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Middleton hasn’t had the opportunity to defend herself from the public. But this is something that she might consider doing when she feels the need to.

According to New UK, Middleton is aware of everything that’s being written and said about her both good and bad. And she’s not afraid to correct these claims when the time comes.

Royal insiders previously claimed that Middleton and Prince William were hurt by their portrayal in Finding Freedom. In the book, their feud with Prince Harry and Markle was discussed.

The source said that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge felt that they were pegged as the villains in Finding Freedom. As such, the royal couple is driven to clear their names against the so-called smear campaign surrounding them. 

Middleton also reportedly tried to come in between Prince William and Prince Harry to smoothen the royal siblings' relationship. As such, it was very upsetting for her to see the brothers fall out. 

But at the end of the day, the future queen consort still hopes that time can heal all wounds. But to have everything brought up repeatedly against them is making it difficult for them to reach a point where they can let bygones be bygones. 

The insider also said that the difficulties that they are facing only brought the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge much closer to each other.

Prince William and Middleton are reportedly dedicated to their royal roles, as well as the struggles that come with it. And all of these things have made their marriage stronger. 

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also made headlines this week amid claims that Prince William made a damning assessment of Prince Harry and Markle’s erratic behavior.

In the book Battle of Brothers, author Robert Lacey said that Prince William’s commitment to the monarchy meant that he cannot always side with Prince Harry.

Prince William and Prince Harry's conversations in the Oak Room helped turn the former from a fragile schoolboy into a tough young man. As such, Prince William wouldn't let his brother or even his sister-in-law threaten the legacy that was entrusted to him by Queen Elizabeth.
