The monarchy needs reassuringly conventional royal performers.

She has the essential royal quality of presence, which sets her apart from other royal women as a future queen.

Diana's former butler Paul Burrell also believes that the future of the monarchy rests on Kate.

If Kate leaves her marriage, Burrell believes the family would fall apart.
