Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton have been dubbed "the next strong pillars of the Royal Family”, like Queen Elizabeth was before the couple, a royal expert has claimed.

Speaking to GB News, royal expert Lauren Chen believes the Prince and Princess of Wales are "more important" to the Royal Family than King Charles.

The royal commentator said that there is "so much public affinity" for the future king and queen of Britain.

The royal expert told host Mark Dolan that Prince William is "not just representing himself and his family, but really the nation" in recent months.

Chen praised William and Kate and said their presence in the monarchy can provide "consistency, longevity and stability to the throne".

She continued, "Obviously we expect privacy for the royals when it comes to serious matters, but I think ultimately this just goes to show how important Kate and William specifically have become to the Royal Family."
