How Kate Middleton always manages to avoid gaffes like a pro

Kate Middleton rarely puts a foot wrong and is known for her elegance and class, but it doesn't mean the Princess of Wales is immune to the occasional gaffe. From getting her heel stuck in a grate to giving Prince William a timely cold shoulder, we take a look at how the Princess of Wales manages to keep her cool where it all goes wrong.

I can't even imagine how horrible it would be to have my every movement, facial expression and eye roll examined. Sometimes life just happens. I think Kates biggest show of grace is the patience with which she handles the daily BS and scrutiny.

[@tasfiamahin5777]

Agreed! 💯

[@shrinkdiva8271]

Exactly.

[@ju9219]

Well said

[@arivanilla]

Exactly! People say she acts like robot but I think she learnt a lot from years of being followed by paps. She knows what will go wrong on camera and avoids it.

[@carmelitajones7779]

Agreed

[@mencken8]

The often overlooked method she uses for avoiding problems is her masterful ability to keep her mouth shut. When she does say something, it’s always positive and gracious.

[@captainobvious6070]

Royal people usually keep their mouth shut, including Williams. Its to avoid exactly situations blown out of proportion.

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

Her other massive skill is the ability to laugh at herself and diffuse the tension.

[@Miriam-fk9wr]

A woman of grace 🙏🏻

[@wongsifu460]

Unlike Meg the "victim"

[@user-uy1rg8td1v]

More women should learn this ability.

[@lynnpetti3817]

I like that Sophie moved closer to help out with the wayward skirt. Very subtle.

[@julieann6769]

As an American, I just think she is one of the classiest royals!

[@sabsmcdabs7139]

The best thing is she can laugh at herself if anything funny or awkward happens. She can just surf the moment

[@TradMommy]

I didn’t see one gaffe. She IS a human being & we ALL have things come up. I saw no such gaffes or potential ones.

[@anaproenca9105]

I completely agree with you

[@mariaytinexposer]

[@cmm5542]

I agree. I think that's why Kate isn't easily fazed: she knows that while the press and royal gossip-mongers will blow these tiny 'incidents' out of proportion, most of us normal people aren't even going to notice/will laugh it off with her. I mean, which of us HASN'T had a 'Marilyn Monroe' moment, ladies? 😅 (If you haven't, you've never lived!)

[@kimonawhim11]

I’m not a royalist whatsoever but Catherine is pure dignity!

[@ToudaHell]

She's a professional

[@notgadot]

She is fantastic

[@tracys169]

Me too. She took to her role very well.

[@jenniferlynn3537]

How comforting it must have been to have Auntie-in-law Sophie take a protective step nearer to help block the wind when the duchess’ skirt unexpectantly went aloft! The countess’ immediate reaction reflects a kindness of nature and generosity of character that should be recognized and applauded. Sophie’s action endeared her to me, as she is undoubtedly the type of exemplary individual we long to see within the royal family. 🇬🇧♥️🇬🇧

[@robertdesantis6205]

Sophie is a class act. 😍

[@ry.butterfly]

It's the little things 😊

[@plantsoverpills1643]

Dress designers for the Princess should be ensuring their designs are at the very least, wind resistant. But it was a lovely fit for PK and luckily for her, she has very shapely legs. 😉

[@PandoraStolen]

And Sophie is a Duchess now 😊

[@cmm5542]

The Duchess of Edinburgh is such a lovely person. Prince Edward made a smart choice there!

She is real, classy, humble and stunning. All of those "bad luck" moments is making me love her more. I'd love to handle these situations that well!

[@IrenaV1984]

I loved the Marilyn moment. Kate was so gracious and composed and still laughed it off with Sophie.

[@lechat8533]

While others are struggling, Kate looks as if she`s dancing over obstacles. A rare gift she was born with, and has been perfecting it on a daily basis. In this world where proper articulation and behavior are almost nonexistent, It fills my heart with enormous satisfaction, when I see a young woman behaving like a lady should.

[@jojo060612]

She was meant for this royal life and she does it so well. Takes on the difficult roles she has and the royal family loves her as she is as well as her dedication to the crown.

[@countrysister700]

And the best part is her fabulous Mum and Dad have her back. Apparently since they sold their company they're at her (and the grands') beck and call 💓

[@skyegypze3982]

And when you have a mortal enemy people love you more too.

I never put much thought into Kate ,but this video shows a different side of her.I lover her reactions and am realizing just how normal and funny she is.I am a new fan now.

[@ScarletPauleeeeeettee]

You going to love her as much as I have. She’s a joy, authentic, organic and genuine.

[@romaengholm]

Catherine has a wicked sense of humour, according to insiders.

[@deb53]

Catherine was never arrogant. She didn't enter the family thinking she could change them nor thought she should be on the same level as the Queen nor did she say she was going to hit the grown running. Princess Catherine wisely took her time, learned and investigated areas, which she was most interested in to focus her attention. In other words, Princess Catherine was not an arrogant know-it-all!

[@Ionabrodie69]

Totally agree our Catherine is as far away from that “ woman” as is possible to be ..😊🇬🇧

[@ireneleeallthingsharpdfwak2585]

It isn't about being perfect, but how you handle the faux-pas! Just love, respect and admire her so much!

[@jennifereddleman6656]

Don't forget about the Tom Cruise thing. Where he tried to take her hand and lead her up the stairs. She expertly moved her handbag to the side where Tom was so it wouldn't be awkward.

[@melaniekendall4903]

Bit of a strange thing to say when we haven't seen the clip on here

[@Ionabrodie69]

@@melaniekendall4903Why strange..?? She was just making a point about awkward moments and how Catherine dealt with it… 🤷‍♀️

I remember that. It was a classic lady-move. I thought what a total twit he was for trying that, especially when William was on her other side. Clueless man.

[@milinayacalevu599]

Princess Kate is so beautiful in every way, irrespective of her dress flying up or rolling of eyes, she is so graceful, beautiful, down to earth royal princess and I love her for support, even her family, thumbs up to you Princess of Wales.

[@carolyndymond4065]

Thats why people love them both because they laugh at themselves and they aren't embarrassed because they know everyone makes mistakes.

[@captainkoo]

She’s amazing. Kind, smart, loving , composed.

[@briza2022]

she always keeps her head up and talks just the needed, it is so pleasing to see her how well she does in the adversity.

[@rosarioperezmarcos7503]

I can't help thinking about author Jane Austen depecting Kate and Meghan in one of her novels...

[@dennisk5180]

She is so elegant, classy and regal. And she is not fazed by any of these unfortunate situations.

[@kgraham5820]

What a beautiful woman with loads of class, style and elegance! It would be most difficult to constantly be in the public eye, people always watching your every move, every word, every gesture... yet she handles herself so very well. Every time.

[@mariefriedmann3203]

She just keeps getting better and better at her job …. !!! Love how she handles the spotlight with class and grace. Wonderful to watch.

[@tessa7413]

She’s graceful, and has a great sense of humor :)

There is something special about Kate, she has such grace and a beautiful smile that really lets you see the person behind the image and you can see she is a warm genuine heart just like our Princess Diana, Let's hope William is nothing like his father and he loves and worships Kate until death do they part.

[@daniamar89]

She is smart and she knows how to work under the public eyes.

[@reginaphalange9316]

Being a mother of three little children undoubtably has strengthened her to face public awkward situations better. Those of you who are parents will surely understand.

[@sarac.3259]

I totally agree. When you are a parent, you have to deal with the unexpected a lot. I work in a primary school, since returning to work, and I have found reserves of patience and tolerance I never knew I had!
