Will Kate Middleton be TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year 2025?
TIME Magazine annually announces its Person of the Year as the publication selects an individual, group, idea, or object that had the most global influence over the past 12 months.
While it is known for selecting politicians and entrepreneurs, it has also chosen high-profile figures who have become a symbol of hope, transformation, or strength. Past examples include Volodymyr Zelensky and Greta Thunberg.
For this reason, Kate Middleton is a strong candidate for the title, as she recently displayed much courage and resilience following her cancer diagnosis, sparking global conversations about health.

Kate Middleton Would Be a Good Choice
BEO betting odds currently aren’t in Kate Middleton’s favor to win TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year. Yet, they indicate that she is in the running for the award.
While other high-profile figures stand a stronger chance of receiving the honor, she would be a fantastic choice for the prestigious title.
After stepping back from public life to undergo cancer treatment, Kate Middleton returned with a powerful health advocacy campaign.
She regularly embarked on various initiatives, such as the Heads Together Campaign and the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, proving her commitment and passion for public health.
What’s more, her elegance, composure, and relatable demeanor have preserved trust in the monarchy, resulting in many people viewing her as a cultural icon.
Many High-Profile Figures Are Stronger Candidates
Kate Middleton’s strength, dignity, and advocacy have been inspiring this year, especially as her family has struggled with various public issues, including two cancer diagnoses and a high-profile fallout with Harry and Meghan.
Yet, TIME’s Person of the Year is more likely to be awarded to a politician or entrepreneur this year.
BEO betting odds are showing President Donald Trump is likely to receive the honor for a third time, and it would mark his second consecutive year.
As he returned to office for a second time in 2025 and has had a huge impact on global politics and its economy, he is the strongest candidate for the honor this year.
However, his senior advisor, Elon Musk, could be chosen by the publication for a second time, as he was named TIME’s Person of the Year in 2021.
In addition to being the wealthiest person in the world, Elon Musk has remained committed to innovation in various industries.
For instance, the SpaceX founder and CEO plans to launch Starship in 2025, resulting in crewed missions into space to improve missions to Mars.
Also, he plans to implant a Neurolink into the first human brain to secure therapeutic breakthroughs for people living with various disabilities.
Other potential candidates for TIME’s Person of the Year include Xi Jinping, Joe Rogan, JD Vance, and even artificial intelligence, to name a few high-profile figures.
Unfortunately, you will need to wait a little longer to find out who will receive the annual honor, as this year’s recipient likely won’t be announced until December 2025.
As there are many months left to go until the announcement, any of the above candidates and more stand a chance at donning TIME’s front cover this year.
If you believe Kate Middleton will be named TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year, you could win $1300 by betting $100 if it happens.
