When it comes to the British Royal Family, there are so many rules for everything. There’s a rule for what you wear, how you walk, how you respond to certain questions, why you should never sign autographs; you get it, the list goes on and on. A lot goes into being a royal, and one Royal expert is dishing on who he believes is under the most pressure.

In a recent interview with E! News, Endgame author Omid Scobie claims that Kate Middleton is the royal family member with the most pressure on her shoulders, both in the public eye and in private life. “Considering the circumstances she’s in, it’s almost impossible to understand how she’s even done it, because most human beings would crumble under that kind of pressure,” he said.

While there have been a few controversies surrounding the Princess of Wales, she has still remained one of the must-watch members of the Royal Family. Not only do people lose it over any outfit she wears and make it sell out everywhere it’s sold, but people love her for her matronly side and her sporty side. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg. She’s quickly become one of the most recognizable faces in the family, and frequently makes headlines with nearly everything she does, so Scobie’s insights make sense.

Scobie added, “She has picked a cause to advocate for [early childhood development] that is totally appropriate for the role and she has been extremely dutiful to the heirs of the throne—and she’s a great mother.”
