THE DUCHESS WHO WILL ONE DAY BE QUEEN

Duchess Kate's image has been slowly changing over the years, as if in preparation for the day when she will become Queen of England.

The Duchess has been taking on the Queen's style - using solid color outfits that make her stand out in the crowd and be easily recognized at a distance by her subjects.

The changes have become more evident since she returned from maternity leave in October after the birth of her third child, Prince Louis.

The Duchess has been dressing in a more traditional fashion and adhering to the Queen's habit of wearing monochromatic tailored outfits.

Prince William is second in line to the Throne and will become the Prince of Wales when his father, Prince Charles dons the crown after the eventual death of the 92-year-old Queen Elizabeth II.
