Kate Middleton’s composure and quiet strength make her “the modern-day Princess Diana.”

King Charles’s former butler, Grant Harrold, who worked from 2004 to 2011, gushed over Kate’s first impression after their first meeting, praising she was destined for the throne, via Radaronline.com.

“That girl was a Queen in waiting in every aspect,” he said. “She is the perfect Queen material, and you can so obviously see that. Everything about her – the way she carried herself, the way she spoke, the way she interacted with people, her kindness, her beauty.”

“She was, if I can say, the modern-day Princess Diana,” Grant said. “She was everything you can imagine – she is a beautiful and intelligent woman.”

A palace insider told the outlet: “Kate has always been revered by the royal family – she’s their steady hand and moral compass. People behind the scenes say she’s ‘Diana without the drama.’ The late princess had heart and charisma, but Kate brings composure and quiet strength. That’s exactly what the monarchy needs now.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton are plucking some green apples from the garden of Long Meadow Cider.

During the royal couple’s recent visit in Northern Ireland, Kate and William made their last stop to the country’s orchard county in County Armagh, which is “family-run farm blending” the traditional methods of farming with modern approaches.

The Prince and Princess of Wales wrote, “Finishing the day at Long Meadow Cider in County Armagh – a family-run farm blending tradition with innovation to create award-winning ciders and juices!”

“Now three generations strong, the McKeevers are growing opportunity and sustainability at the heart of Orchard County. Great to see the connection and love at the heart of everything they do here,” they continued.

In the carousel shared alongside the post, William and Kate can be seen walking down the apple fields while Kate plucked a few apples and the pair appeared to be drinking juices pressed from the fresh fruits picked from the farm.

The Future King and Queen even rolled some dough for some fresh-apple pies.

In a previous post, uploaded a few hours apart, Kate and William revealed that they also made a stop at Mallon Farm in County Tyrone, another family farm known for reviving the traditional Irish linen industry.

“From field to fibre to fabric, Helen and Charlie are rebuilding a sustainable, local supply chain that celebrates creativity, collaboration and care for the environment,” the pair said of the farm owners.

“A wonderful example of a positive, future-focused Northern Ireland,” they added.

Trailer after trailer is sending chills to fans as the notorious killer Pennywise is on the hunt in IT: Welcome to Derry.

It is a prequel to the original movie, as shown in the official red band trailer; the children are again the prey of the monster.

The brain behind the series, Andy Muschietti, in an earlier interview with Radio TU, shared the story will be “told backward” in the three-season show.

“It’s a story that’s based on the interludes of the book. The interludes are basically chapters that reflect Mike Hanlon’s research,” he noted.

“They’re fragments of his research. For 27 years, it’s the guy trying to figure out what it is, what did it, who did it, who saw it, and all that stuff,” the filmmaker added.

He continued, “So they talk about catastrophic events from the past, like the fire in the Black Spot…. the massacre of the Bradley Gang, a gang of bank robbers in the ’30s… and the explosion of the Kitchener Ironworks.”

“Every time [Pennywise] comes out of hibernation, there is a catastrophic event that happens at the beginning of that cycle.” 

“There’s a reason why the story is told backwards. So the first season is 1962, the second season is 1935, and the third season is 1908,” Andy shared.

IT: Welcome to Derry will drop on HBO Max on Oct 26.
