Kate Middleton Handling Royal Family Pressures Well, Says Prince Edward [PHOTOS]

The Duchess of Cambridge is not only impressing fans from all over the world, but more importantly, other royals who expect only the best from her.

Kate Middleton has proven herself to be a real charmer, with other royals commending her effortless grace as the latest addition to the British royal family. After delivering her first public speech last week, many are certain that Middleton has got her place and responsibilities downright.

Prince Edward proclaims how impressed he is with all the positivity that Middleton has shown over the year she has been married to Prince William. He mentioned, in a report, that Middleton has adapted to the "royal life" quite well and that she will only get better at it.

"Catherine is doing very well. She has taken to royal life like a duck to water. She's very gracious and the family is very proud of her" says Prince Edward as reported by The Daily Mirror.

For someone who came from a normal, striving family, the Duchess is absolutely doing a swell job being a member of Queen Elizabeth's immediate clan.

"She's dealt with it very well though and I think Catherine can only grow in confidence now her first official engagements are out of the way." added Prince Edward in the same post.

When William was still away on a rescue pilot training mission in Falklands, Middleton has been on two 'public visits' on her own. First was an appearance with Camilla and The Queen at Fortnum & Masons, and another one with The Queen and Prince Philip in Leicester.
