The 25-year-old beauty, who has been staying at Clarence House for the past few months, reportedly wants to make her mark on the property by updating the "old fashioned" paint work and furnishings in her dressing room.

A source said, "Kate doesn't want to step on anyone's toes. She just wants to change the dressing room, which is quite dated, with a lick of paint."

However, some royal staff have been unimpressed with Kate's plans, complaining she has been throwing her weight around the palace.

A source told Britain's News of the World newspaper, "Kate is walking around with all the confidence of a princess-in-waiting. Some of the staff have called her the Lady of the House. She is making everyone aware of who wears the trousers in her relationship."

Meanwhile, Kate has decided to jet home early from her sunshine break in Barbados to celebrate part of Christmas with William.

The couple had decided to spend the festive season with their respective families, with Kate enjoying a Caribbean getaway with her family, and William sticking with royal protocol and staying at his grandmother Queen Elizabeth's Norfolk residence, Sandringham estate.

However, Kate has now opted to join the prince at Sandringham on Boxing Day.
