Kate Middleton bridges between King Charles and Prince William
Since Kate Middleton became part of the British royal family, the tension between King Charles and Prince William has decreased significantly.
Royal commentator Victoria Arbiter claimed that 42 years old Kate Middleton has brought warmth by bridging the growing distance between royals.
“I think Kate Middleton is very close to her family and family is very important to her,” she said.
Victoria Arbiter said that Kate Middleton has also played the role of a wonderful mediator between Prince William and King Charles as the father-son relationship has never been better.
“I think Kate Middleton has been able to give the royals a real sense of love, friendship and being a family,” she said.
Victoria Arbiter said that Kate Middleton’s relationship with King Charles has always been very close and that there were several occasions when King Charles referred to her as his ‘dear daughter-in-law’.
Incidentally, both of them have recently been diagnosed with cancer at the same time. But the royal palace has not given any details regarding the type of cancer that both of them are suffering from.
