Kate Middleton’s strategic twist upstages Prince Harry

The distance between King Charles’ sons grows wider, as Prince William is preparing to for his future role as the monarch, meanwhile, Prince Harry continues his life away from the royal family.

In what has been dubbed as the “game of royal chess”, Kate Middleton has once again proven why she is the steady right hand for the future king.

On Queen Elizabeth II’s third death anniversary, Kate made a subtle yet telling gesture that has been remarked by royal experts as strategic.

The future queen attended an engagement honouring the life of the late Queen Elizabeth in Sunningdale with her husband.

The royal couple’s visit to the National Federation of Women’s Institutes came around the same time as Prince Harry, who resides in US, landed in UK ahead of the annual WellChild Awards.

Harry stopped by at the St George's Chapel to pay his respects at his late grandmother's resting place.

Kate’s last-minute appearance today has been speculated to be a calculated move to upstage Harry’s anticipated UK arrival.

The body language expert Judi James told the Mirror that Kate may be seeking to “avoid being check-mated by the rogue royal.”
