Kate has been labelled a part-time working royal in a blatant swipe at the Princess of Wales’s workload.
Omid Scobie’s royal book Endgame takes aim at Prince William’s wife and her attitude towards working.
Scobie writes that Kate is “technically a part-time working royal” and also describes her as the monarchy’s “last shiny thing for many years to come”.
The royal author adds Kate “does not plan to increase her workload for 10-15 years” when her children have grown up.

Scobie claims the Princess of Wales has earned the nickname “Katie Keen” because Palace press releases mitigate her lack of work by saying she is “keen to learn”.
He writes: “Where other senior royals are out and about several times a week, meeting people across the length and breadth of the country, Kate has long maintained a smaller work schedule that helped her check off the required royal boxes while saving time for her roles as a mother and a wife.”
Prince William will be furious over the new attacks on his wife the Princess of Wales, according to a royal insider.
Scobie told the Sunday Times regarding the Princess of Wales: “In the coverage of Kate we infantilize her massively so the bar is always lower.

“The small achievements that we’ve seen from the Princess of Wales wouldn’t perhaps be noticed if it was from another member of the royal family, but with Kate it’s like ‘wow!'”
An insider close to Prince William has said the criticism of Kate will anger the royal.
A source told the Mail: “That will really wind William up.”
They added: “He’s immensely proud of what his wife has achieved.
