Kate Middleton’s Personal Touch on Social Media Makes Her a Relatable Royal
Kate Middleton’s approach to social media engagement has helped her become one of the most relatable and admired members of the British Royal Family. Known for crafting her own captions on Instagram and other platforms, the Princess of Wales has developed a modern, personal way of connecting with the public that sets her apart from traditional royal communication.
Former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond recently spoke to GB News about the impact of Kate’s social media style, praising the princess for her hands-on approach. “This is such an effective and modern way of using her influence and staying in touch, even when she is not making personal appearances,” Bond explained. “Official statements from the Palace now seem quite stuffy and extremely formal by comparison.”
Kate’s social media efforts, alongside her husband Prince William’s, reflect a growing trend in the monarchy to bridge the gap between the public and the royals through a warmer, more accessible image. Bond highlighted that while social media can often be a platform for negative interactions, Kate and William are demonstrating how it can be used to spread “goodwill and kindness.”
Their relatable posts and thoughtful captions have struck a chord with the public, fostering a closer relationship with followers. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has faced criticism for her contrasting approach. After launching a new social media account for her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, Meghan has gone silent on the platform, raising eyebrows among royal watchers.
