She may not really have jumped out of a helicopter with James Bond at the Olympics, but 2012 has been the Queen's best year yet. Her Diamond Jubilee was feted with thousands of street parties, while a poll showed that 87 per cent of Britons sopport the monarchy, a record high.
Kate has helped, of course. Her beauty, style and natural ease with the public have impressed people at home and abroad. Indeed, Time magazine named her one of 2012's "100 Most Influential People in the World".
British republicans may have hoped to gain more support for their cause when the Queen dies, but with Kate it seems the monarchy is in safe hands.
