A new viral video on TikTok has drawn renewed attention to Kate Middleton’s status as the future Queen Consort of the United Kingdom.
Uploaded earlier this month, the short compilation of footage shows Kate alongside captions pointing to her destiny as “the future queen” while Camilla currently serves as “the queen.”
With over 400,000 views already, the video has sparked discussion around Kate’s pivotal role as she prepares to support her husband Prince William when he eventually becomes King.
Kate Middleton future Queen Consort of the UK
As wife of the heir apparent, Kate Middleton has steadily taken on more senior royal duties over the last decade since her wedding to Prince William in 2011.
In September 2022, the couple gained the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales from King Charles III, formalizing their status as the next in line to rule after Charles.
While Kate will not hold the powers of a ruling queen regnant once William takes the throne, she will gain the ceremonial role of queen consort as the spouse of the reigning king.
This means supporting her husband at state and national events in addition to continuing her own charitable works and royal patronages.
Judging by the comments on the now-viral TikTok video, Kate has already earned significant goodwill and excitement as the public looks ahead to her future role.
“Catherine will be perfect,” wrote one user, while another predicted she is “going to make the most amazing peoples Queen.”

With an already full slate of royal engagements focused on early childhood development, mental health, and community support, Kate appears well-prepared for the increased responsibility to come.
For now, the new viral spotlight reinforces the princess’ destiny to become the U.K.’s next Queen Consort at William’s side when the time arrives.
Kate is currently recovering in Windsor from an abdominal operation she underwent on January 16, which will keep her in a period of convalescence until after Easter.
