The Royal Family has faced a year of drama after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry quit royal duties and moved to America - a move dubbed Megxit. And the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sparked fresh controversy with their bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview.
But the Royal Family is in safe hands with the Duchess of Cambridge, according to royal author Claudia Joseph.
Ms Joseph, who penned Kate: Making of a Princess, told Vogue: "She is seen as a safe pair of hands in troubled times."
The Duchess marked a decade of being a fully signed up member of the Royal Family last month.
Kate and Prince William celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary on April 29, 2011.
William, who is second in line to the throne, and Kate tied the knot at Westminster Abbey.
Ten years on, the couple have three children, seven-year-old Prince George, Princess Charlotte, five, and three-year-old Prince Louis.
Kate has focused her charity work on early years, young people's mental health, the visual arts and promoting the benefits of outdoor life.
Royal author Penny Junor described the Duchess as a "model of what a future queen should be".

"She doesn't seem to be seeking fame."

And Kate has been suggested as a potential peacemaker between her husband and his brother Prince Harry.
The once-close siblings have been at the centre of a rift that is said to date back to the early days of Harry's romance with Meghan.
According to the Finding Freedom biography, Harry was angered by what he perceived as his older brother's "snobbish" attitude when William urged him not to rush the relationship.
Hopes were raised the pair could repair their rift after they were spotted chatting at Prince Philip's funeral.
