Women's Weekly royal correspondent Juliet Rieden says it's a real endorsement of Catherine's work and her place in the family that her new title was announced by King Charles so quickly.
"Catherine automatically stepped into that role of being the most photographed young woman in the royal family. That is the mantle that comes with the Princess of Wales." Cultural historian Dr Cindy McCreery says the problems during Diana's time in the role has ultimately changed how the royal family would handle the Princess of Wales.
I think Catherine is much smarter than Dianne. She is beautiful and will be a wonderful Queen someday. Dianne got too big for herself and self destructed.
Stop it already
Infamous? Really ?
Is anyone going to comment on how calculating and manipulative Kate Middleton was to swap uni, to Uni of St Andrews, enrol in the same subjects as William & her actions to snare the future king? Or is gossip restricted to hating the coloured lady & adoring the white lady?
Wow, the Woman's Weekly influence, or should that be effluents, is really coming to the fore. NoMoreIta SpillTheBoard
No
what
Can somebody please retire Buttrose! This is entirely the wrong platform and the level of obsessiveness is surely mental illness.
You spelt Meghan wrong
No don't think so Lyla Tim Joe Flo
No way, Kate Middleton just does not have what it takes. No personality nor confidence. Diana was and always will be in a class of her own. This one is a pretender🤣
Catherine Princess of Wales is a completely different person! she met her husband whilst studying at University together. Diana was a young 19year old girl not at all knowing the ways of the world. So, Catherine will carve her own way in the future. She is super intelligent.
Not quite after 25 years ... when Charles, Prince of Wales, married Camilla, she became Princess of Wales, but chose to use her lower title of Duchess of Cornwall. Whether out of respect for Diana, or on the advice of the media adviser, who knows?
No
No. Catherine is Catherine. Let her create her own path. She will do fine as the Princess of Wales.
Hope not
Ridiculous to compare the two. Catherine is a wonderful mature woman who is dearly loved by her husband. Diana was a beautiful naive girl not loved but deceived by her new husband
This isn’t news. This is tabloid trash.
Not newsworthy. Do better ABC.
No way Jose
For the love of our Aunty of yesteryear, would the ABC please cease this embarrassing and pointless tabloid bullshit⁉️ We have Sky 9, 7 & 10 to perpetuate this verbal diarrhoea!!
🤦🏻♂️ notnews
Methinks Murdoch and Fairfax now control the ABC.. So much negative and disrespectful journalism
Does this mean Catherine should look out , would hate to see her murdered like Diana
Catherine is forging her own path and shouldnt be burdoned with Dianas memory. They r 2 very different women. Catherine is very much loved & supported by WillIam and their beautiful children, by her parents & family and GB. Diana sadly was very alone except for her boys & public
The media love talking about Diana. She had a cult following but probably has no relevance for people born the past 25 years. Kate is lovely. She is getting lovelier every year. Always looks magnificent, has a nice family and the Royal family are very lucky to have her.
Oh, come on ABC. This is not a story. This is tabloid fodder.
Well she appears as manipulative
What a childishly ridiculous comparison and question. Obviously theirABC hired a hormonal tween to write it. The title is famous, not infamous, you blockheads.
'but is Catherine the new Diana?' No ... and the media needs to stop their nonsense ...
No-one will be like Diana. She was unique. Kate can forge her own role (if she's capable).
Leigh, get a life.
We don’t care.
Charles had everything in life but he never loved Diana his true love was Camilla
Just stop
no.
What next Ita....this
So by this measure Diana was the new Mary of Teck, so if Kate is the new Diana does that actually make her the new Mary? Or has every new PoW been the 'new' Joan of Kent? Oh and why is this 'news'
A New Idea article! The comparisons are fuelled by the media. Kate is her own person, a mature woman who has forged her own path. Give it a rest.
Are you reading and repeating stories from New Idea?
Comparing Catherine to Diana is meaningless.
Cate and Williams have held themselves in highest decency despite so public limelight on them. I think the British must be very positive about these 2 next in line
The ABC is becoming like Chanel 9. No wonder Australian TV has to rate amongst the worlds worst.
Are you asking if she'll be murdered for not putting up with a childish Englishman that covers other women?
Ita's ABC. She's turned it into the women's weekly. ItaButtrose time to go. 😡
Chalk and Cheese comes to mind.
Who cares? If the people don’t care who the Princess of Wales, why should we?
ABCNews continuing it's slide to become a sideline of Women's Weekly. sackIta sackStevens
Garbage like this is beginning to make me sympathise with the ‘defund the abc’ crew
'And then perhaps this story will repeat, with Prince George's wife, another new Princess of Wales.' (Says the writer of the article). How do you know he will have a wife? He might be a Not that there's anything wrong with that.
No.
Catherine is Catherine, I wish you media outlets would stop the comparison.
Give it a break, ffs
No.
Ita, Aunty is not Womens Weekly. Sincerely, me.
Just stop.
Stop shoving news of this family to every Australian throat! you are funded by Australian people! Majority of Australian- specially young Australian do not give a Damon about this family!!
At this stage Catherine is way in front of Diana, she is married, and she is not sleeping around with Egyptians in Paris. Why do you ask?
Only the racist divisive ABC could cast aspersions against Kate, who was clearly the most outstanding decent person at the funeral of HRH QE2. Typical of the ABC to attempt to destroy what is good, what is conservative, The ABC hates the Monarchy and Australia.
News?! More like Women's Weekly! 🤮
If you’re going to write rubbish, how about some editing? Two names misspelt & incorrectly calling the King, Prince Charles.
no- please stop the comparison.
Look into Kate’s uncle… she’s no Diana
Indigenous Welsh don't want the foreign English to call themselves titles of Wales. It is a bloody disgrace. Imagine a Welshman being King of England!
Brood mare?
Jeez, I feel sorry for any remaining journalists at the ABC.
Seriously? Must be a slow news week!
Doubt, nor should she be. The title is not the person. Kate has had time to adjust to being part of the firm. She's mature and appears confident. She will have entirely different issues to contend with in Wales.
Horrific! This is how women are treated in Iran by IRI thugs. Be their voice.
Markle not Markel, bears not bares, Wallis not Wallace
Enough with this tabloid nonsense, report some actual news!
This pointless 'news' article is bad enough without the execrable grammar.
In Australia why do we even care 😕
Only if the Media are part and parcel of PR Fluff machine maintaining an unelected & unaccountable hereditary monarchy
There have been many other women who have been Princess of Wales and Catherine doesn't have to be like any of them.
Nope
No Catherine will carve out her own path as Princess of Wales. The constant comparisons in the media are ridiculous.
No
Why on earth does she need to be? Maybe she could, and hear me out here, just be herself. Weird, I know.
