As far as Britain’s Royals are concerned, Kate Middleton is looking more and more like a shoe shoo-in as Prince William’s fiancé. It’s only a matter of time — and while the clock is ticking, the Queen would like Middleton to stop waiting for the proposal and actually do something with her life. Like, you know, get involved with a charity or something.

See, Middleton’s been out of work for quite some time — and besides her heavy social life — doesn’t have much on agenda. This, of course, worries the Queen mum as she’s concerned the public misgivings on Kate’s current lifestyle will reflect poorly on the family. She feels that animal rights or a children’s charity would provide a “safe” role that — and get this — would not draw comparisons to the late Princess Diana. Interesting.

Now obviously, Middleton would have a bit to clarify if she joined up with a group like PETA. Last year, the organization slammed her for participating in “blood sports” during an outing with Prince Charles to hunt deer. Still, PETA has also been know to give second chances, and I’m sure they would warmly embrace a change of heart from someone with as high a profile as Middleton.

As one article noted, animal charities may not be as “safe” as the Queen suggests — especially considering the rather risque photo shoots we’ve seen in the past. Perhaps the most humorous suggestion would be for Kate to join the UK Hamster Rescue organization. They’re so poor that they cannot even afford to be a registered charity — something a potential royal could most certainly help with.

Either way, the Queen Mother will be watching…
