Replacement for Kate & Co.

New role for Princess Beatrice in the royal family

Princess Kate is expected to be absent until the end of the year. The palace has been looking for a replacement - and has found one in Princess Beatrice. The daughter of Prince Andrew and Fergie is already taking on royal duties.

The long wait simply never ends. The Queen-designate, Princess Catherine, commonly known as Kate (42), an extremely popular member of the British monarchy, will not be returning to the public eye for the time being. So not even in the summer or fall.
