Prince William reportedly "auditioned" Kate for the role of wife to a future King

"William is the future King of Britain and the Commonwealth and, like it or not, part of his job was to choose a consort who would do the job well."

The Cambridges are undoubtedly one of the most talked-about families in the world, with Prince William and Kate Middleton never failing to make news.

Not to mention, it was announced over the weekend that the actors set to play Prince William and Kate Middleton in Netflix's The Crown had officially been cast.

"It's been said that William was auditioning Catherine for her future role," the royal expert claimed in the documentary. "And I think there's a truth to that."

He continued: "William is the future King of Britain and the Commonwealth and, like it or not, part of his job was to choose a consort who would do the job well."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have not responded.
