Kate Middleton is "the boss" according to a viral TikTok post about her relationship with Prince William.

The Princess of Wales may not be a blood royal and will never reign even when she is queen, but some on social media appear to believe she holds the power in her marriage.

A series of clips of the future king and his wife interacting during royal engagements started a light-hearted discussion among royalists.

The video was liked 65,000 times and viewed just short of 1 million times on TikTok after being posted with the message: "She's the boss."

The edit begins with Prince William and Kate Middleton helping to make mango and Kulfi milkshakes at MyLahore restaurant, in Bradford, on January 15, 2020.

William asked his wife, "do I do the mango?" before Kate replied authoritatively, "you do the mango" and William concluded: "Okay, I'll do the mango."

In the next clip, the Prince of Wales appeared to walking stridently when Kate called him back by saying "William."

A third showed the Princess of Wales pull a pint of Rattler cider for her husband during a visit to Healey's Cornish Cider Farm, near Truro, Cornwall, on September 1, 2016.

William accepted the drink and said "it's great, thank you," before later concluding that the drink tasted "just like it does in the pub."

A fourth clip showed the pair making pancakes with members of Sikh Sanjog, a Sikh community group, to be given to vulnerable families across Edinburgh, Scotland.

The princess can be seen gesturing with her hand to stop William from flipping a pancake with tongs at the cafe kitchen of the Palace of Holyroodhouse on May 24, 2021.

She said "no, no stop," before prizing the edge of the pancake off the bottom of the pan using her fingers and flips it with just her hands.

One comment on the TikTok video, liked almost 2,000 times, read: "I like when she flip the pancake," while another wrote: "Oh she flipped it with her hands!!!"

Another reply read: "she knows when and where to be the boss," while a fourth said: "She does it all."

Many, however, simply expressed their support for both royals, writing "love these two," "beautiful couple they are best friends" and "haha they're the cutest."
