Let's be real for a moment—being part of the royal family isn't all glitz and glamour. Sure, Kate Middleton seems to have it all figured out when she's out there attending royal events in London, but there's more to the story.

According to a palace insider who recently spoke to Us Weekly, "Kate still finds these huge public events overwhelming." It turns out that Kate has always been naturally shy, and those massive gatherings can feel like a lot, even for someone as poised as her. Can you imagine? The same woman who carries herself with such grace and elegance is secretly dealing with these feelings behind the scenes.

But here's the interesting part: "Truth be told, [Kate] envies sister-in-law Meghan’s ease in front of crowds," says the insider. However, what Kate might not realize is that she has her own set of strengths. For instance, she's incredibly skilled at putting on that "royal smile" that impresses everyone around her. And honestly, isn't that exactly what matters in these situations?
Here's the thing: Kate knows she has a responsibility to be front and center. After all, one day, these very events will be in honor of her husband, Prince William. It's a role she'll have to embrace for the rest of her life. Queen Elizabeth, William's mom, understands this and has been personally mentoring Kate to prepare her for the role of queen consort.
