PRINCE William is “steering Kate Middleton into Diana's footsteps”, according to former royal butler Paul Burrell. The former staff member, who worked for the Royal Family for 21 years, added that the Princess of Wales has “never put a foot wrong.” Speaking to Closer , Paul claimed: “He’s steering Kate into Diana’s footsteps.
“I see the way she dresses and the way she behaves, and if her mother-in-law could say anything, she would tell her that she’s doing an incredible job because she’s never put a foot wrong and the country adores her.” The former butler claimed that Prince William is “fiercely protective” over Princess Kate, and it “absolutely” comes from losing Diana when he was aged 15. Paul added: “With William by her side, Kate’s safe because he will take care of her and would never let anyone harm her.
