Neither of them are good role models of course - what a daft suggestion that they even could be. "My role model is a blueblood Royal who was born into unimaginable wealth ". It's not a realistic "role" to be "modelled", is it.

I agree with both of you

Being born in royalty means Prince Will isn't exactly an achievable role to follow and Kate wasn't exactly born into poverty either ...

But they have a good work ethic, and good family values. What's not to like in that?
