The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expected to take on more royal responsibilities now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially stepped down as senior members of the Royal Family.

Heir Pod host, Omid Scobie, has praised Duchess Kate for going from 'strength to strength'.

What did he say about the Duchess of Cambridge?

He said that the Duchess is clearly enjoying her role and will continue to undertake 'interesting' royal duties.

He said, 'It is great to see the Duchess in confident form.

'I think we have been seeing a brand new Duchess of Cambridge 2.0 in the last few months.

'She really seems to be relishing the role now and really going from strength to strength.

'It makes it all very exciting.'

He added, 'On the royal beat we do get very caught up with what is going on behind palace doors and we are all fascinated by that.

'But it is also great when the work itself is interesting and that becomes the talking point.

'For example, the recent engagements we have seen from Kate like doing the podcast.'

And praising Prince William, he said, 'Prince William was recently in Nottinghamshire to speak about the importance of providing opportunities for young people in the world of business.'

'We saw him jump into a giant paving truck to help lay down some surface for roads.

'It was unusual but I think it is great to see William willing to get his hands dirty and involved.'
