随着剑桥公爵伉俪，也就是威廉王子和凯特王妃短期造访纽约，各路媒体正密切关注着这对英国王室夫妇的一举一动。我们获悉，凯特王妃参观了哈莱姆区的儿童发展中心，而威廉王子会晤了美国总统奥巴马。

    行程安排非常紧凑，这让我们不禁好奇：凯特正怀着第二个孩子，这位未来英国王后是如何井井有条地担负起她的王室职责的？

    以下简要介绍一下凯特王妃身边的重要随行人员。你或许没听过他们的名字，但他们对于塑造凯特的公众形象起着至关重要的作用。

    With the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – aka Prince William and Kate Middleton – in New York for a brief visit, the press has breathlessly reported on the British royals’ every move. We learned, for instance, about Duchess Kate’s visit to a Harlem child-development center, while Prince William convened with President Barack Obama.

    The hectic schedule made us wonder: how is the Duchess, pregnant with the couple’s second child and in line to one day become Queen, managing her big job?

    Below are some key people in Kate Middleton’s entourage. You probably don’t know their names, but they play a crucial, behind-the-scenes role shaping the Duchess’ image.
