Is Catherine Already The Most Powerful Woman In The Royal Family?

As the Princess of Wales prepares for her future role as Queen, questions are growing about how Catherine is reshaping the monarchy and what kind of Queen Consort she will become.

• How Catherine has changed modern royalty • The significance of becoming Princess of Wales • Why royal women must control their public image • The historical lessons of Catherine of Aragon and Catherine of Braganza • The unique advantages Catherine brings to her future role as Queen • Whether she could become one of the most influential royal women in modern history
