The Princess of Wales shocked the public on Wednesday when she showed off her superhero strength during a public engagement, proving that she's still keen to get involved despite her more serious royal role
February 11, 2023 - 16:02 GMT Melanie Macleod Since taking on her more senior royal role as Princess of Wales, royal watchers have wondered if Princess Kate might opt to take a step back from getting stuck in at public events.
The 41-year-old has always thrown herself into challenges during royal engagements, from sailing to rugby, but the public did wonder if she might adopt a more formal demeanour following her role change from Duchess of Cambridge to Princess of Wales. Princess Kate proved this to be far from true on Wednesday, when she appeared to be keener than ever to get involved with royal challenges during a visit to Landau Forte College Derby, to mark Army Officer Captain Chandi's return from her solo expedition across Antarctica.
The event saw the notoriously fit Princess pulling two tyres during a training exercise, as seen in the video below. The tyres each weighed 20kg, meaning the activity was a form of resistance training – which Princess Kate proved she's a natural at.Loading the player...
Another Princess Kate fan commented that she admired the royal's approach to her role."I love that she is becoming a bit less formal, [a] new generation."Body language expert Darren Stanton commented on Kate's behaviour at the event, explaining:"Footage of Kate pulling the tyres along during her latest appearance clearly demonstrates her willingness and confidence, as well as her ability, to blend in with those around her.
