Kate Middleton has a stable background compared to Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson.

The Duchess of Cambridge has a different family background which helps her enjoy a better relationship with the royals. She grew up as an ordinary girl but with a solid support.

According to royal commentator Ingrid Seward, Middleton had the “indispensable family support to sustain her through the rough ride to becoming royal.” The expert added that Middleton’s secret to success is her mom Carole’s glamour and business acumen as well as her father Michael’s gentle nature and charm. Markle’s parents showed that they have the perfect elements for their eldest daughter to be the future queen

“Kate’s stable background instilled in her a natural confidence, which has helped her so much in royal life. She never felt unloved and insecure as Diana and Fergie did when their mothers fled the marital home – Fergie felt it was her fault her mother had left, and thought herself fat, unattractive and unworthy of her royal position,” Seward wrote for The Sun.

“Diana told me that she always felt unable to go and meet the public if anything unpleasant had been written about her in the press that day. Despite her popularity, she still felt unworthy of any adulation and put it down to her childhood.”

Unlike the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of York, Middleton’s mom never left them. For Carole, “family always came first.” In fact, she gave up her career after giving birth to Middleton.

According to royal biographer Katie Nicholl in her book “Kate: The Future Queen,” Carole’s family wasn’t wealthy and she wanted to be a flight attendant. She was excited about the prospect of jetting around the world.

However, when Carole and Michael welcomed their firstborn, she decided to turn her back from her career because even if she loved her job she knew that globe-rotting, working shifts and spending days and nights were not conducive to raising a family.

Middleton’s parents are also very involved in the Cambridge family. According to previous reports, when Prince William and Middleton are away, Carole and Michael usually look after their kids.
