00:00 Princess Kate is a royal etiquette whiz,
00:03 even when it means stepping aside for her husband.
00:06 In a video that recently went viral on TikTok,
00:08 Kate and Prince William are pictured
00:10 visiting the Foundling Museum back in 2022.
00:13 In the clip, Kate is seen approaching their greeters first.
00:16 However, she makes small chit-chat while she hangs back,
00:19 waiting for her husband to walk over.
00:21 William is then first to shake hands with their hosts,
00:24 and Kate follows his lead afterwards.
00:27 When the visit took place,
00:28 the couple was not yet the Prince and Princess of Wales,
00:30 but since William is the future king,
00:32 Kate has made sure to let him take the lead
00:34 during joint events for years.
00:36 Sarah Gristwood, author of "Elizabeth,
00:38 the Queen and the Crown,"
00:39 previously told People that in one sense,
00:41 Kate and William's marriage has been modern
00:43 since it was a love match.
00:44 But on the other hand,
00:45 Gristwood says that it's been old-fashioned too,
00:48 since Kate mostly appears as a supportive figure
00:50 to her husband.
00:52 That supportive role is important to the future monarch,
00:54 and while Kate's a star in her own right,
00:56 she also knows her place within the royal family.
00:58 But that doesn't mean William doesn't return the favor
01:00 with support of his own.
01:02 He often lets Kate take center stage at events
01:04 where she is the patron of the organization,
01:06 or when she is highlighting a cause close to her heart.
