they may be royals but they're still a family and just like your family the web of allies and enemies can be surprisingly complicated this is everything we know about the many relationships of Catherine Princess of Wales he's a pint-sized prince who digs grass stains and dirt but were his first words really merry Berry he's the apple of his mama's eye and here's why Lou will always be her baby though the public were thrilled for Princess Catherine when she announced each of her pregnancies she also suffered from an extreme version of morning sickness and because of that the scenario with her third child Prince Lou was tough from the start nothing can ready prepare you for that Kate reflected on the experience 2 years after Lou was born telling the happy mom happy baby podcast it was utterly rotten I was really sick I wasn't eating the things I should be eating and yet the body was still able to take all the goodness from my body and to grow new life which I think is fascinating she noted that her husband Prince William felt useless since there wasn't much he could do to help Kate added because it had been so bad during pregnancy I actually really quite liked labor because actually it was an event that I knew there was going to be an ending to no pregnancy is the same no birth is the same Prince Louie came into the world on April 23rd 2018 rounding out the family of five and after a brief respit Kate was back on the public scene shortly after by January 2019 she was opening up about the new addition sharing during a visit to Scotland Lou is a a fast crawler 2 months later Catherine gave yet another quick update about her youngest son explaining that he was already giving her a run for her money she said Louie just wants to pull himself up all the time he has got these little Walkers and is bombing around in them I turned around the other day and he was at the top of the slide I had no idea any fan of British TV knows that life couldn't possibly be complete without the Great British baking show judge Mary Barry was a staple on the show for many years and is a well-known figure in Britain for her classic cookbooks and sweet treats as it happens Kate keeps some of Barry's cookbooks in her kitchen and they just so happen to be at Louis's ey level when he was learning to talk appearing with Barry during a Christmas special in 2019 Kate revealed that one of Louis's first words was actually Mary adding children are really fascinated by faces and your faces are all over your cooking books and he would say that's Mary Barry so he would definitely recognize you if he saw you today as William and Kate have raised their children in the public eye they also focused on giving their kids as normal of an upbringing as possible and Kate has been dedicated to getting her three kiddos out in the fresh air admitting that it's her favorite time to spend with them as she told happy mom happy baby outside in the countryside we are all filthy dirty what do you like as for Lou he's all about the Outdoor Adventures appearing at the Back To Nature Festival in 2019 Kate explained that one-year-old Louie loved being around plants as a guest of the event described to people she was telling us how her son Lou loves smelling flowers he enjoys being outside as any mom knows before you even realize it your little one is walking talking demanding snacks and heading off to preschool without batting an eye for Kate watching Louie grow up has been especially Bittersweet referring to him as her baby she shared during a visit to Brent I keep thinking Lou is my baby but he's a proper boy now of course the public had just watched Lou appear at the trooping the color event for the first time and to say that he had f come into his own as a young boy was an understatement as an Insider told hello the princess had become more determined than ever to stay grounded as a parent adding Kate takes her kids to the trampoline park quite regularly and really Blends in as any other mum when it comes to the Cambridge kids parallels have frequently been drawn between them and their parents Prince George and Princess Charlotte are spitting images of their father Prince William they have his eyes his smile and his coloring but Louis meanwhile looks exactly like his mom and this has become even more parent as he's gotten older healthy happy children shape a healthy happy future Kate has continued to Champion causes close to her heart and one of them is her shaping us initiative that focuses on Parenthood and the Early Childhood years during a kickoff event she shared photos of herself as a baby with her dad immediately fans recognize just how similar Lou and Kate look as kids she added I hope you'll also consider joining joining me in sharing a picture of yourselves before your fifth birthday to help with those conversations and to share some smiles and memories too it seems like it was only yesterday that Prince George was born but he's already a bustling 9-year-old in line for the throne and while he's the baby of the bunch Lou is also growing up fast taking to social media to honor Mother's Day in the UK in March 2023 Kate shared adorable photos of her kids one holding Lou as if he were still an actual baby body language expert Judy James noted that the photo is indicative of Kate's feelings about her youngest son explaining to the Daily Mail this pose shows Kate fully back in mum roll again cradling Louie in her arms and looking down with a warm loving and caring smile Louie was always the child she tended to carry around the most when he was a baby although she clearly cherishes the way he is growing up to be confident spontaneous and playful as their kids got older William and Kate decided to move them out of London where they had been residing at Kensington Palace and making their home in the countryside the family of five now live on the Windsor Castle grounds allowing them much more privacy of course schooling has been a focal point for the parents and they enrolled their children at lambrook school in Windsor though the school is private Elite and surely provides the Royal children with an excellent education it seems Lou still prefers to be out of the building rather than sitting in class during a visit to a therapy Garden in whales Kate shared Louie comes home and says I need to get my energy out being interactive Outdoors has huge benefits on our physical and mental well-being particularly for young kides apparently Louie runs for the garden at the very first chance he gets as Prince Harry has carved out a space for himself outside of the royal family he's brought attention to the role he played growing up openly referred to as the spare to Prince Williams Heir Harry claims he was often seen as the sidekick you should kind of be sitting there a little bit in the monic Shadow and just wait your turn as they've gotten older William and Kate's kids have sometimes been cast in a similar Light Prince George is the heir to the throne after his father but Charlotte and Louie will likely never rule making them potential spares as more and more Focus has been drummed up by Harry William and Kate are said to be incredibly focused on how their two younger children are raised as Royal expert Tom Quinn told Express I think because the royal family now is so aware of the mistakes that they've made in the past especially with bringing up children they will make enormous efforts to make sure that Louis doesn't feel like a l Soul Kate clearly adors each of her kids and most certainly holds on to every last moment from their childhoods so perhaps it's worth asking if she would ever have another baby and as it turns out Kate apparently seems sold on the idea of baby number four but William doesn't appear to be convinced while they were on a tour of Scotland after Louie was born Kate spent time with young children while visiting St John's Primary School in Glasgow the mom of three was clearly smitten with the little ones leading William to remark on any ideas she may be getting can you get my wife out of here before she gets Broody Williams quip came just shortly after he made a previous comment about Kate's possible desire to add to the family while the two took part in a Royal Engagement at the clithero community hospital in Lancashire Kate shared a loving moment with one little girl posing with her for photos obviously witnessing how much his wife was fawning over the baby William quickly piped up don't give my wife any more ideas if we had to take a guess we would assume that the Royal couple's family may already be complete and and that means Louie no matter his age will always be Kate's little baby from a shared interest in clothing to a weirdly similar mannerism princess Charlotte certainly has a lot in common with her mother though the Royals deal with the same familial problems as the rest of us they are known for their stiff upper lip mentality oh really the late Queen Elizabeth II was a stickler for tradition sticking to her role as the head of the Church of England and denying her sister Princess Margaret from marrying the man she loved because he was a divorce a Prince William however was brought up by the Beloved late Princess Diana who was determined to change the Royal way of doing things often hugging her boys and giving them access to as much of a normal life as possible Diana certainly turned the tide and Princess Katherine took notice encouraging her daughter princess Charlotte to talk about her emotions in a rare interview William reflected on his and Catherine's tactics with Charlotte though she was just 2 years old at the time William and Catherine were dedicated to her emotional process according to express Prince William said Katherine and I are clear that we want both George and Charlotte to grow up feeling able to talk about their emotions and feelings emotional intelligence is key for us all to deal with the complexities of life and relationships it's easy to believe that the children of the royal family don't enjoy a normal life they go to events and have made debuts in public like their celebrities but as noted by People Princess Katherine has made sure that princess Charlotte and her brothers live as normal of a life as possible an Insider shared what that Dynamic looks like after visiting the family at their home in the English Countryside Catherine greed The Insider at the door holding Charlotte then 2 years old and 3-year-old Prince George was clinging to her ankles The Insider revealed to people there was no formality at all it really was like any other family sitting down to lunch with George and Charlotte eating their homemade food in their high chairs and toddling around with their toys noting that Charlotte's life in the country was full of arts and crafts while highlighting her affinity for the cartoon Peppa Pig the guest told people that Catherine and Prince William were largely raising their kids on their own shunning the history of governesses and Royal nannies you know the times my children drive me insane and no sleep but I love them dearly and the term Royal siblings has become Meed as Prince William and Prince Harry's ongoing feud redefine such a phrase but when it comes to William and Princess Katherine's own kids the trio has a humorous Dynamic of course Prince George came first followed by Princess Charlotte and later Prince Louie the hilarious little brother who often steals the show not only is Charlotte the only girl in the mix but she is the middle child as noted by people during an official visit back in 2017 Catherine stopped for a mummy chat with Sam the Burge the wife of a royal Marine Commando swapping stories about their kids Burge later told reporters that Catherine shared a rather hilarious truth about charlot's role in the family she calls the shots according to people Burch told reporters Catherine said that Charlotte is growing up really fast she is the one in charge we have both got 2-year-olds and they are ruling the roost Royal Watchers of course know that Charlotte has often told her older brother what to do during public outings from fixing his posture during the national anthem to bowing at Queen Elizabeth's coffin during her funeral procession Charlotte clearly knows Royal protocol like the back of her hand and isn't afraid to tell her siblings what to do though it wasn't technically a royal wedding princess Charlotte served as a bridesmaid for her aunt Pippa Middleton when she married James Matthews in 2017 the princess looked absolutely adorable on the day and was overseen by none other than her mom Princess Catherine Catherine coralled the kids as they got in position for the ceremony looking flawless while doing so Prince George of course was a page boy for Matthews and Charlotte looked adorable in her little white dress and flower crown at one Point Charlotte appeared to be a little overwhelmed by the day's festivities but her mom was right there to offer a comforting hand all while flashing her radiant smile at her little boy George who stood in front of her if anyone knows how to multitask on the job it's Catherine it's amazing what habits we can pick up from our parents without even realizing it from the way we speak to how we carry ourselves to the little things we do subconsciously many of us have our parents mannerisms down princess Charlotte as you may have guessed is no exception Royal Watchers were quick to point out how the young princess has adopted quite a few of Princess Catherine's characteristics over the years as noted by the mirror a particular habit of Catherine's was first pointed out amid the coronavirus pandemic lockdown during which she attended a number of virtual events and was seen on camera fiddling with her ponytail wrapping a curl around her fingers and then flicking it back behind her Catherine was seen repeating the process a number of times while chatting with teachers at the ribbon Academy who has picked up such a habit you guessed it Charlotte a royal fan account on Tik Tok was the first to point out that Charlotte has mimicked the exact same hair flipping habit especially in instances where she appears a little bit nervous at just 6 years old at the time Charlotte was already picking up her mom's subtle ways perhaps even without realizing it though princess Charlotte and her mom Princess Catherine might be moving into more friendship oriented territory as she gets older every little girl needs her mom's Comfort now and then the grief throughout the royal family was on full display in the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II's death and though they were not present for all of the events Charlotte and her older brother Prince George attended their great-grandmother's funeral alongside their parents I think when you look at the Cambridge children they have had so much change in the last couple of weeks Catherine appeared keenly aware of her children's emotions on the day in question and regularly placed a hand on Charlotte's back or shoulder as they got through the day holding her daughter's hand as they made their way into Westminster Abbey it was clear that Catherine was both grieving herself and in full mom mode the Queen's passing didn't necessarily come as a huge shock to the world given her age and the health struggle she had been facing in the months prior to her death but it still rocked the royal family to its core particularly close to the Monarch Charlotte was pictured sobbing at her great-grandmother's funeral but regaining her composure like the little boss she is Charlotte relied on her mom's guidance throughout the day and still showed her brother who was in charge when she nudged him to follow proper Royal protocol when we think about the Royal Institution as a whole it can come across as rather insular and a bit stuffy that said there doesn't seem to be a lot of room for individuality but it certainly appears as though Prince William and Princess Katherine are changing that Dynamic for the better in their first holiday appearance after Queen Elizabeth's death William Katherine and their three children took part in the famous Christmas walk to St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham norfol keeping a firm hand on Prince Louie the rambunctious prince who always seems to get himself into trouble the Royal parents let princess Charlotte navigate the event largely on her own accord as noted by Body Language expert Judy James such a tactic is indicative of the parents hands-off approach James told the mirror Charlotte was pulling ahead as they walked towards the church and George has gone from being the rather shyl looking boy holding his father's hand to the older brother keeping an eye on four-year-old Louie James went on to add that Charlotte striking out on her own was a deliberate move by William and Catherine the parents of three certainly have their hands full with Louie alone and Charlotte's cool calm and collected approach without a doubt puts her in a league of her own there is one thing that pretty much everyone knows about Princess Catherine which is her wardrobe is on point that said it appears Charlotte is taking notice Charlotte and her mom attended the commonwealth games together in 2022 and people quickly witnessed the little Royal Rock an outfit very indicative of her mom's style for the occasion Charlotte wore a navy blue and ivory striped dress that featured a little white collar with her cute braids the little princess looked the perfect combination of polished the dress was from designer Rachel Riley and the design in question is referred to by the fashionable among us as the Breton stripe who's worn this look many times well Catherine of course in the few times that we've seen Catherine in more casual attire she has often rocked a Bret and stripe on one occasion the princess stepped out in a Bret and stripe shirt and white shorts giving us just that little flash of leg that keeps Royal Watchers on their toes shortly after the Commonwealth Games Catherine was seen in the print yet again clearly indicating that it's a favorite of hers and her daughters no kid lives a life quite like the heir to the British throne but what does that mean for the relationship between Prince George and his mother Princess Catherine public engagements are usually a big deal for the Royals given that nearly every senior Royal is expected to participate in this tradition it was only a matter of time before Prince George followed suit while George has yet to carry out his first solo engagement Princess Catherine found time for her prince to make his first public appearance in 2014 that year Prince William and Princess Katherine engaged in a Royal tour of New Zealand there the two met with other parents and the Child Care Organization plunket at government house while the adults talked the 8-month-old Prince George got to play with the other babies in a attendance it may have been no coincidence that Princess Diana had taken Prince William for his first public engagement in New Zealand over 30 years before apparently those in attendance quickly noticed Princess Catherine and Prince George's resemblance to Princess Diana and Prince William given the Royal Family's interest in sports onlookers couldn't help but notice the motherson connection between princess Katherine and Prince George at Wimbledon in 2022 paired with navy blue ensembles Catherine followed tradition by taking her son to his first Wimbledon match like George's first public engagement Katherine's appearance reminded some people of the moment Princess Diana took Prince William to his first Wimbledon match in 1991 fans who had attended to see Novak jovic face off against Nick Kos in the men's finals seemed equally entertained by the array of emotions George displayed throughout his time there only the eldest of Katherine's three children attended that Year's Wimbledon though this was her second time attending the event that weekend she apparently wanted that day to be dedicated solely to Prince George when reporters asked the princess about the absence of her other two children at the event she told them it's George's treat today Princess Catherine has become involved in a number of sporting events and organizations over the years for example she is the Royal Patron for the Rugby Football Union a position previously held by her brother-in-law Prince Harry the advocacy work she does especially for for women and where we want to take the women's game I think having a female at the hell of it is is brilliant and it appears that Katherine's passion for rugby rubbed off on Prince George as he took up an interest in the sport at an early age during her appearance at the Six Nations rugby tournament in February 2023 the mother of three praise Prince George for his natural build for the sport on George's transition from touch rugby to the proper game she said they are trying to teach him the rules they move them around for their confidence because he is tall he has the physique Catherine had previously hinted at George's fascination with the sport at the England versus Wales Six Nations match in 2022 Catherine revealed that the then 8-year-old Prince had started playing the sport at school and his dedicated tackling partner none other than Catherine herself while Princess Catherine and Prince George share an interest in athletics the two seem to hold opposing opinions about their respectable prowess in sports although Katherine went on record to insist that George is a talented rugby player the Young Prince has been less than generous about his mother's talent in football in 2019 Prince William and Princess Catherine traveled to Northern Ireland to meet children at the Windsor Park football stadium after talking to the kids Catherine participated in a friendly yet competitive football match Prince Williams saw this as an opportunity to warn the kids of her ankle sweeping tactics and Catherine even poked fun at herself revealing that her eldest son isn't too fond of her football skills as a Hands-On mother she'd spend her time at home helping the Young Prince sharpen his skills at the sport according to Catherine however George would rather playfully insult her telling her that she's so rubbish at the sport Catherine apparently agreed with the 9-year-old's past comments at the event saying I should have picked up some tips from George as the son of Prince William Prince George is now second in line to the British throne and it is likely that he will take the throne after the death of his father given his young age you might imagine how difficult it can be to break this news to a child after all that's a heck of a lot of responsibility for a kid to Bear very un unwieldy Royal Traditions can also create difficult challenges for young heirs since their relation to the British throne makes them a priority among their siblings according to Robert Lacy's book Battle of Brothers Prince William and Princess Katherine both informed the future monik about his position in the royal family Lacy writes sometime around the boy's seventh birthday in the summer of 2020 it is thought that his parents went into more detail about what the little Prince's life of future Royal service and Duty would particularly involve while they have informed him about his future role as King William and Catherine also want to prepare George for his Royal obligations at their own pace to give her child as normal an upbringing as she possibly can Catherine has taken slow and steady steps in introducing him to the busy life he'll likely lead in his adult years King Charles III's coronation marked a turning point in Royal history and garnered significant Global media attention especially when it came to who would play a part in the ceremony and that included Prince George however stories quickly surfaced regarding Princess Catherine's apprehension about her son taking part in the ceremony while there was no real push back from Catherine she did Express worry about the pressures her son may face after the coronation in March 2023 an Insider told the Sunday Times that Catherine didn't mind if her son played a major part in the ceremony she did however want to ensure his Public Safety given their approach to their son's Royal obligations The Insider revealed that Catherine would happily accept George's part in the coronation if they could ensure he wouldn't face in their words overwhelming scrutiny reports soon emerged suggesting that Prince William and Catherine were scheduled to talk with King Charles about Prince George's role in the ceremony meanwhile Royal historian Hugo Vickers suggested that George's appearance in the coronation would be significant to his role as a direct heir to the throne he said bringing George in also sends all the right symbolism for the future and gives him something he will always remember despite Katherine's worries George played his important role in the coronation a significant moment in the young Prince's Royal career although Prince George received special treatment due to his role in the royal family William and Catherine make sure his siblings are treated equally hopefully this would mean that no resentment is harbored toward each other still despite this self-awareness it's only natural for sibling rivalries to ensue whenever that is the case it seems that George is usually the Catalyst for their quarrels at home in an interview with itv's this morning in 2020 Katherine revealed that homeschooling during the pandemic had been difficult because she couldn't keep her eldest son satisfied George gets very upset because he just wants to do all of Charlotte's projects like making sort of spider sandwiches that's far cooler than literacy work George's envious feelings towards his young siblings also extend to Prince Louie for example Catherine has encouraged her kids to pick up gardening as a family Pastime while helping to plant sunflowers at the Nook a children's hospital facility in Norfolk she reveals that gardening often becomes a little competitive between her two boys since Louie had an innate knack for gardening at 2 years old George grew jealous of his younger brother's ability to grow sunflowers Catherine said the children are really enjoying growing their sunflowers Lou is winning so George is a little grumpy about that in her capacity as Princess of Wales princess Katherine often undertakes humanitarian work from tackling societal issues ranging from drug addiction to mental health the princess has expressed an interest in helping others on a number of occasions this ultimately led to her hosting Royal carols together at Christmas in 2021 according to Katherine's program for the concert the holiday spectacle served as a tribute to those who assisted their communities throughout the Corona virus pandemic she wrote this carol service is our small way of recognizing the inspiring contributions so many of you have made thank you as the event was run by the Royal Foundation several members of the royal family attended to show their support for the cause there were a few exceptions however notably Prince George princess Charlotte and Prince Louie were absent it's possible that they may have been kept home to lessen their potential exposure to covid-19 that said George and his sister made an appearance to support their mother for the second rendition of the event in 2022 there George got to watch the royal family pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth including Prince William himself who read an excerpt from a previous broadcast from his grandmother princess Katherine's role as a doting mother has been tested several times by the limitations placed by higher ups in the royal family since Prince George is a direct air to the throne the amount of protection he requires is understandable this can conflict with their everyday lives however something as simple as traveling with George has to be done with the utmost care for example the royal family's Unwritten rules state that two or more heirs should never travel on the same plane as expected Catherine regularly broke this rule so that her 99-year-old prince didn't have to travel alone given her approach to Motherhood this wouldn't be the only time she would break Royal tradition for George's sake the annual St Patrick's Day Parade held at the Cavalry barracks in hsow is a 121 yearlong tradition one that Prince William and Princess Katherine regularly attend despite her 4-year run participating in the service the mother of three did not attend the parade in 2016 those in attendance were informed that her absence was strictly family related though it wasn't directly stated it appeared that Catherine prioritize staying at home with Prince George and his newborn Sister Charlotte over attending the Royal event some bonds are unbreakable and that's definitely the case when it comes to Kate Middleton's relationship with her younger sister Pippa Middleton here's why the siblings have remained so remarkably close throughout the years Kate and Pippa Middleton have spent much of their lives in the spotlight but they've battled the ups and downs of that high-profile life together Kate the older of the Two Sisters was born Katherine Elizabeth Middleton on January 9th 1982 less than 2 years later her parents welcomed another daughter Philipa Charlotte Middleton on September 6th 1983 while the girls have one younger brother James Middleton their Sisterhood has been a focal point of fans Adoration of the royal family because they are close in age Pippa and Kate went through many of life's Milestones together from their Early Childhood Days to the most lavish Royal Affairs they've stayed incredibly tight-knit in fact the siblings say they care deeply about each other's well-being as Pippa told today in 2014 we support each other and get each other's opinions and things details about Pippa and Kate Middleton's early life aren't actually much different from the average family as Royal biographer Katie nickel explained in her 2013 book Kate the future Queen the Middleton family shared nightly dinners with the sisters helping set the table they would also embark on family trips together and even as the sisters got older they lived parallel lives additionally Kate and Pippa both joined the same Brownie troop opting to stick together as much as possible through early adolescence when it eventually came time for the siblings to go their separate ways they still opted for similar Lifestyles Pippa and Kate both went to boarding school which marked the first time they spent significant time away from each other as nickel wrote in her book The middletons were an exceptionally close family nickel also revealed that there was a lot of noise and laughter in their upbringing we have a very normal Sicily relationship Pippa and Kate Middleton were both very active growing up and they wound up playing a variety of different sports according to excerts from Katie Nichols book Kate the future Queen Pippa was a bit more athletic than her older sister but both ladies made Sports a big part of their lives as their former coach told nickel they had such drive and were very competitive particularly Pippa they were very much a team Kate highly preferred field hockey over other sports according to Nickel so when both sisters wound up attending Marl bro College on full Sports scholarships it didn't take long for them to get involved with a school hockey team both Kate and Pippa midleton are happily married and while their weddings occurred 6 years apart there were some very similar moments in each ceremony particularly the moment they both helped carry each other's wedding dress trains captured Royal fans Hearts as people pointed out for her 2011 wedding Kate asked her sister to stand behind her as she walked down the aisle and to hold her lengthy train 6 years later Kate did the same for her younger sister The Duchess returned the favor and ensured the stunning Giles Deacon designed gown her younger sister war was in good hands ironically enough years after Pippa was accused of stealing the spotlight at her sister's wedding Kate was said to have done the same according to Vogue Kate and Pippa Middleton have lived life under the public lens since their early 20s but they've managed to handle it with Grace every step of the way it's clear in Pippa and Kate's respective interviews that they have nothing but the utmost respect for each other as Pippa told today during a 2014 interview we spend a lot of time together we still do a lot together as a family she went on to explain that maintaining a semblance of normaly is important to the Middleton saying I think that's really the heart for all of us is having a really close family that we can sort of be normal with each other treat each other normally and that sort of kept us all you know a fix to the ground it's wonderful yeah that's the biggest smile I've seen this morning according to E news who shared excerpts of Katie Nichols biography Kate the future Queen the sisters grew up taking nature Centric excursions with their family often times they stayed local embarking on Countryside picnics however as the Middleton sisters got older the excursions became more elaborate including trips to Tropical Islands or Adventures to the snowy French Alps no family is without at least some problems and Pippa and Kate Middleton have certainly faced theirs for instance when Kate got married to Prince William in 2011 her younger sister was accused of stealing the show pppa looked Drop Dead Gorgeous at the royal wedding and her beautiful dress commanded attention around the world reports soon started surfacing about a longstanding rivalry between the sisters the Scotsman reported per a source in 2008 there is allegedly some jealousy between the pair Kate was always quite jealous of Pippa I sensed that she feared being eclipsed by her meanwhile the things aired out dramatic details of an alleged feud between Pippa and Kate the publication posted a video claiming the sisters have always had a rivalry which has continued into adulthood but all in all Pippa and Kate aren't unlike most families after all no one is perfect for as much as Kate and Pippa Middleton have in common they also have their fair share of differences for starters they lead very different lives particularly when it comes to how much their actions are filtered through the public lens as Prince Williams wife Kate is constantly being watched by people all around the world scrutinizing every move she makes sure the same could be said for Pippa but the scrutiny isn't quite as intense especially as she technically isn't a royal personality wise Kate and Pippa are also very different as a source told the Scotsman in 2008 Pippa has more natural effervescence she is socially much more at ease and was always popular with everyone Pippa was also much pickier when it came to choosing her Friendship Circle with the source adding she was very Charming about it but quite ruthless and cultivating the right friend as Kate and Pippa Middleton Grew Older and started families of their own they were still super supportive of one another on October 2nd 2018 when pregnant with her first child Pippa was photographed at the very same Hospital Kate welcomed her children in Pippa would go on to give birth at that hospital on October 15th 2018 welcoming a healthy baby boy 3 years later Pippa welcomed a baby girl naturally pippa's older sister couldn't have been happier to see pippa's family at a new addition a source close to the cambridges told hello the Duke and Duchess are absolutely Overjoyed by the happy news life as the Royal doesn't mean everything goes swimmingly all the time in 2007 Prince William broke up with Kate Middleton after 5 years of dating as showz cheat sheet reported Kate didn't handle things well but it was her younger sister Pippa who helped her pick up the pieces and ended up playing a large role in the ex's rekindling their relationship Kate and William later reconciled and announced their engagement in November 2010 but the happy ending may not have come to fruition without Kate's little sister Pippa reportedly encouraged her sister to get out and hit the town distracting her from the devastating breakup the photos of their fun-filled nights reportedly got back to William who was allegedly sad to see his ex living life without him Kate and Pippa Middleton are total tennis Fanatics and it's one of the many things they've bonded over throughout their life a family friend told ch Q in August 2012 the whole family are mad about tennis and they hate losing not only do they enjoy hitting the courts but Kate and Pippa have also been seen watching pro tennis championships together in July 2019 they enjoyed a girls day out with Megan Markle at Wimbledon additionally their love of tennis seems to have been passed on to their brother according to GQ James Middleton grew up playing rounds of tennis with them and Chelsea the Middleton sisters and Tennis have become so synonymous with one another that Kate made a video about the cancellation of the 2020 Wimbledon tournament she explained this year sadly though things are very different but we will bide our time until we sit on the edge of our seats again and celebrate again so when the time is right and we open the gates we will be back again and it will have been worth the wait as with any siblings the dynamic between Kate and Pippa Middleton had shifted over the years after years of playing on the same sports teams and joining the same brownie troops Pippa and Kate's paths diverged as e- news reported even as adults the Middleton sisters live parallel though Separate Lives after all they both wound up attending Merl Brook college but it wasn't long after that the sisters lives both changed drastically when Kate enrolled at St Andrews University in Scotland she met Prince William and set things on an entirely different course in the end both Kate and Pippa have gained a sense of Independence as they began their own families they also battled the fame that came with Kate's marriage together but the sisters continued to stick together through thick and thin we all know about Prince Harry's rocky relationship with his brother William but where does Kate Middleton fall into the mix Kate has been by William's side for over a decade so she's been a pretty integral part of Harry's life too here's the truth about Harry and Kate's relationship the world watched when Prince Harry and Prince William walked behind their mother's casket in 1997 just two young boys but they were grieving on the world stage both Harry and William went on with their lives and William met Kate Middleton at the University of St Andrews in 2003 Kate met Harry quickly thereafter and things blossomed from there a St Andrew Source explained to the daily mail from the earliest days Kate always maintained an open door policy to Prince Harry while they were students she always made him feel welcome the three also spent weekends together of course Harry's teens in early 20s were a bit rough with drugs fights and other controversy so it's hard to say exactly how his behavior impacted his relationship with his brother and Kate his early years were a bit all over the place and we can't help but wonder if Kate gave him some sisterly advice perhaps it sounded a bit like Harry's description of being a royal revealed during that Infamous Oprah interview you got to get dressed you got to get in there you wipe the tears away shake off whatever you're thinking about and you got to be on your A game if anyone is going to tell you the truth about your perspective significant other it's your sibling you can always count on them for their brutal honesty but that was a reality that Kate Middleton reportedly clued in on as noted by The Daily Mail Kate quickly learned that a positive relationship with Prince Harry was crucial in maintaining a good romance with Prince William an inside source even said that Kate quote knew that getting on with Harry was key to her relationship with William of course Kate was from a fairly normal family and had a sibling of her own so it comes as no surprise that she was a bit of a natural when it came to bonding with the young Prince A source told the daily mail from day one Kate made a massive effort with Harry but it was a natural thing because she grew up in such an inclusive family the onas middletons and all that onas middletons was a nickname the family picked up because they always moved together looks like Kate really knew what she was doing I hope we'll you know be able to have a happy family ourselves The Royals are known for being private they reportedly rarely talk about their feelings the workings of the family the experiences they go through or the realities of being Royal however Prince Harry sat down with Newsweek in 2017 for an interview and was surprisingly forthcoming about the dynamic that he had with his family members Kate Middleton included let's start with the queen Harry called her remarkable something we can all agree on he then talked about his late mother Princess Diana sharing that she did everything she could to make his life fun and safe Harry hardly mentioned his father Prince Charles and his wife Camila Parker Bulls which given the history there doesn't come as a huge shock but what about Kate when William asked her to marry him Harry called Kate the sister he'd never had Newsweek also reported that Harry had made a habit of going over to his brother and sister-in-laws for dinner at Kensington Palace as Kate would make him his favorite meals these two clearly have a very special bond at one time Prince Harry and Kate Middleton were neighbors according to the Daily Mail Harry lived in the two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage on the Kensington Palace grounds which was right next door to Kate Middleton and Prince Williams apartment apartment 1A at one point according to an Insider Harry was reportedly more than comfortable just going over to his brother and sister-in-law's apartment whenever he felt like it the source said Harry is totally at ease popping over to the cambridge's gym to work out next to wills and he's used to seeing Kate in her cashmere dressing gown reading to Charlotte or joining in cozy family suppers eating from their laps they also shared that Kate encouraged Harry to come play with his niece and nephew princess Charlotte and Prince George baby Prince Louie wasn't on the scene yet as often as he wanted but as noted by Harper's bizaar things allegedly got complicated when Harry and Megan marle started their lives together for a while they lived in the two-bedroom apartment that Harry had been occupying as a single man they eventually relocated to Frogmore Cottage even if you're not a fan of the Royal Family you most likely know some of what went down between Prince Charles and Princess Diana after a decade of stress Scandal and infidelity the two got divorced Diana tragically died in 1997 and Charles married his longtime companion Camila Parker Bulls in 2005 so where does Kate Middleton come in an Insider told the Daily Mail that Kate stepped in for Harry as an emotional Confidant given that the role had previously been filled primarily by his mother and while sources say that William and Harry get along with Camila and are happy to see their father happy the brothers don't really confide their deepest thoughts in Camila so it was Kate that Harry reportedly turned to in moments of need and the two reportedly developed a genuine friendship while relying on one another for support Kate was described as Harry's trusted Council and while their time together didn't always consist of deep talks they were known to watch game of Thrones together for instance they always had each other's backs there's nothing more fun than being an aunt or Uncle you get the best part of the kids without having to change the diapers or do the 2 a.m. feedings and it certainly seemed like Prince Harry embraced the role of fun Uncle an inside source told the daily maale that Kate Middleton and Harry really bonded over his Free and Easy Spirit and his attitude came in handy when playing with her kids The Source shared Kate adors the way Harry plays with her children he is very good with them a Charming big kid and silly uncle but as you can imagine things went downhill pretty quickly and given the rift between Harry and Prince William Harry's role as an uncle suffered according to the 2020 book Finding Freedom Harry and Megan and the making of a modern royal family Harry's bond with Prince George and Princess Charlotte suffered as a result of the feud between the brothers the authors also alleged that Kate was fiercely loyal to William and that even during his Feud with Harry she did quote little to diffuse the situation things tend to get more complicated when new additions to the family are made but according to finding freedom things reportedly got distant between Kate Middleton and Megan Markle a nogo for Prince Harry the authors alleged that Kate and Megan had met each other with a distant politeness and the tone of the relationship was something the press in public picked up on fairly quickly things really came to head at the king power Royal charity Polo day when Kate and Megan were spotted together they reportedly had a cordial but distant Rapport that was pretty much obvious to everyone of course we can imagine that the dynamic didn't please Harry at all especially considering that there was a lot going on in the Royal Family behind the scenes while Kate and Megan barely talked at the event the finding Freedom authors assessed that their Dynamic was reflective of the conflict between Harry and the institution of the royal family either way it seemed as though Harry's relationship with Kate his brother and the royal family was slowly starting to crumble the interview two words and if you're if you're a fan of the Royals you know exactly what we're talking about Prince Harry and Megan marle sat down with Oprah Winfrey and pretty much aired all the Royal Dirty Laundry unsurprisingly Kate Middleton was reportedly mortified over what they shared what was hard to get over was being blamed for something that not only I didn't do but that happened to me as noted by page six one large point of contention between Kate and Megan was over wedding details it was originally reported that Megan made made Kate cry over flower girl dresses but Megan asserted in the interview that it was actually the other way around she was upset about something pertaining to yes the issue was correct about flower girl dresses and it made me cry of course it was just one small example of how quickly things had degraded between Harry and Megan and Prince William and Kate Royal expert Katie nickel explained you never hear about Kate falling out with anyone because she is very careful with how she treat treats others so for this story to be circulating is very hard nickel also said that Kate was saddened disappointed and hurt by the interview and given what we know about the bond she used to have with Harry it makes all of it sting just a little more hindsight is always 2020 but that doesn't make it any less frustrating and for Kate Middleton it was reported that she regretted getting involved with the soap opera that was Prince Harry and his Exodus from the royal family according to page six Kate and Prince Williams Set about surrounding founding themselves in goodness in order to combat the stress that Harry and Megan markle's departure was causing what did said goodness consist of their children Kate's parents Pippa Middleton and her husband and close family members an inside source told page six William and Catherine could not be more discreet they don't want to get involved even when Harry spoke about the Fallout with William there was no briefing from them and by saying nothing that is the smartest move throughout the drama enveloping their extended family Kate and William reportedly made an effort to listen to their advisers The Source concluded they don't wish to elevate this soap opera cheating rumors nasty gossip alleged backstabbing is Kate Middleton and Rose hamre's friendship really as bad as the tabloids say it is here's what we know a scandal erupted in 2019 when it was rumored that Prince William and Kate Middleton The Prince and Princess of Wales had anything but a pict of perfect marriage that April t reported that the Royal was cheating on Kate with her friend Rose Hamry the maress of Chumley Rose and Kate had been friends for quite a while when the alleged Affair was first reported the son noted that Prince William and Kate lived just 3 and a half miles from Rose and her husband David's Chumley and that Rose and David's children are friends with William and Kate's children Rose also attended Prince William and Kate's 2011 Royal Wedding so her relationship with the couple goes much further back than the rumors even before the claims that Rose and Prince William had an affair the tabloids were hinting that the friendship between Kate and Rose was Rocky The Daily Mail reported in 2016 that Kate and Rose were Rivals vying to be the leader of their social set nicknamed as the turnip TOS by the Press unsurprisingly neither Rose nor Kate publicly addressed the rumors however sources claiming to be close to the two women have denied all allegations of either a rift between the women or an affair between Rose and Prince William one source told the Daily Mail in 2019 these hurtful rumors of a Fallout are simply false both wives are hurt by the suggestion that there is any argument or even a coolness between them another source told Hollywood Life that even though Kate didn't believe the rumors circulating about her husband and her friend she and Prince William were hurt by the gossip other way you have be careful what you're saying now cuz these guys they're filming I know the source told the outlet and it doesn't just hurt the them they are very concerned for Rose she's a married woman with children and she's not used to this kind of public scrutiny she's a friend of not only Kate's but also the entire family so this is upsetting for everyone Rose maintained a low profile following the rumors of the affair however she and Kate were spotted together at a church service in January 2020 so it appears that their friendship remains intact in spite of everything that has been said about them King Charles III's coronation also SE seemed to be a turning point in their relationship since the coronation was one of the most important events to take place in 2023 it makes sense that any drama broiling behind the scenes would be set aside so that the focus was solely on King Charles's accession to the throne yes that includes any drama between the feuding besties Kate Middleton and Rose Hamry we were all happy to see that there were no Angry sidelong looks being swapped between the two at the coronation instead Kate and Rose kept their watchful gazes on their children both of their sons played a role in King Charles's coronation during the big event Rose's son Oliver was a page for his majesty alongside Prince George seeing their children be a part of something so historic might have been enough to thw any ice between Kate and Rose a royal Insider told Mary CLA that the two mothers decided to forget the rumors and have a chat with one another at the coronation this is where they finally managed to make amends The Source informed the outlet there was tension between them because of all the nasty gossip at the coronation they had a chance to speak for the first time in a while and made peace now hopefully there won't be any awkwardness among their Social Circle this summer one's The Duchess of Edinburgh the other's the Princess of Wales so far so Royal but how well do Sophie and Catherine actually get on Sophie Duchess of edra married into the royal family on June 19th 1999 almost a full 12 years before Catherine and William own nuptuals in 2011 with so much experience already under her belt as a working Royal Sophie appeared to take the then newly minted Duchess of Cambridge under her Wing as she learned to adjust to her new life despite Princess Catherine now having served as a working Royal for over a decade it seems she still leans on Sophie for support in 2020 body language expert Judy James told the express many of the poses of the two women together show Sophie face checking Kate with quite strong bouts of watchful looking eye contact to suggest she's taking a semi- maternal approach however she also has raised brows and what's called a pinging smile that implies she wants to ensure Kate is enjoying herself Sophie's influence on Catherine has clearly paid off as the princess more than holds her own in public likely due to the nature of their early relationship Sophie and Katherine appear genuinely close whenever they are seen together Sophie and Catherine also share similar backgrounds in the sense that they both grew up as non-royals prior to marrying Prince Edward The Duchess of Edinburgh was known as Sophie Reese Jones her father was a Salesman and her mother worked as a secretary Sophie grew up in the west Kent Village of brenchley and attended Kent College for girls before going on to attend West Kent College Tunbridge following her schooling she went to work as a secretary at a London public relations firm and set out on the career path that led her to meet Edward although Princess Catherine was also a commoner before for marriage she enjoyed a reasonably wealthy upbringing her parents Michael and Carol Middleton were able to send their children to prestigious private schools such as St Andrew's prep school and marra a private boarding school Katherine worked for the family company as well as jigsaw a clothing retailer before marrying William Sophie and Catherine have likely bonded over the early days of their relationships in which they were both hounded by the British press both women were eventually spared by interference from their future husbands in an open letter in 1993 Prince Edward implored the press to give his relationship privacy citing the destructive effect of press attention on the marriages of his relatives notably the previous year had seen the official dissolution of his sister princess Anne's marriage to Captain Mark Phillips as well as his two brothers separation from their respective spouses you probably know how all that went down well there were three of us in this marriage so it was a bit crowded Edward wrote I am very conscious that other members of my immediate family have been subjected to similar attention and it has not been at all beneficial to their relationships therefore please will you call an end to your harassment of both Sophie and me and allow us to try to carry on our lives as normal in 2007 William made a similar move on Catherine's behalf the statement issued by the then Duke of Cambridge read in part Prince William is very unhappy at the paparazzi harassment of his girlfriend he wants more than anything for it to stop it it helps to have shared interests when forming a bond and Sophie and Katherine both enjoy a number of similar Hobbies Daniel Stacy Royal corespondent for Hello magazine explains the Royal ladies have similar interests and passions including their love of sport and fashion they also share common causes within their Royal work with both Kate and Sophie championing the work of children and young people's Charities when it comes to sports Katherine is noted as a royal patron of Institutions such as Sports Aid the all England lawn and croquet Club the lawn tennis Association and the 1851 trust the Duchess of edra serves as a patron for England Hockey the British cycling Foundation the British Bob slay and skeleton Association and the UK Armed Forces winter sports Association both women have also been known to enjoy sailing one particular way in which Sophie and Catherine have bonded over the years is through their shared love of fashion both women are known for their Exquisite taste when it comes to apparel and accessories and their fashion choices during public outings are often complimented by the media that is so fetch in fact their parallel tastes have even led to instances in which Sophie has acted as a kind of secret shopper for Catherine designer Donna Ida revealed to the Daily Mail in 2019 that Sophie purchased a jumpsuit from her brand and specifically asked to get one for Catherine as well she told the outlet my friend a stylist is best friends with Sophie wesex and Sophie buys from us she got our black sity jumpsuit for herself and then asked for one for Kate she said Kate wants one can I get one as well Catherine has also been credited for influencing Sophie's Style with styling director Rosie Hartman telling the Express in 2022 that there were Echoes of Kate's style in newer items in Sophie's wardrobe Hartman added that Sophie's close relationship with Catherine has likely influenced many of her fashion choices another trait shared by Sophie and Catherine is their desire to be more Hands-On as parents this extends to giving their children as normal lives as they can possibly be given considering their Royal status Sophie's children are lady Louise Mount baton Windsor and James Earl of Wessex Sophie herself has stated that she and Prince Edward always plan to raise them as normally as possible Louise and James weren't given hrh titles at Birth which will allow them to decide on their own paths later in life in 20120 Sophie told the times we try to bring them up with the understanding that they are very likely to have to work for living hence we made the decision not to use hrh titles they have them and can decide to use them from 18 but it's highly unlikely despite the fact that she is raising a future king Catherine reportedly also feels strongly about giving her children as normal of a life as possible in 2019 a friend told People magazine that Catherine desperately wants normality for her own kids and wishes them to have a youth similar to her own the friend added she wants to emulate her upbringing living in the countryside with with a close-knit family when it comes to their patronages Katherine and Sophie hold a shared passion for important causes related to health and wellness while each woman tends to focus on different areas within the wide spectrum of health issues they are similar in how much time they spend raising awareness about them in addition to focusing on children's causes Katherine is also an advocate for mental health and awareness she is well known for having helped form heads together with Prince William and Prince Harry which helps shine a spotlight on various Mental Health initiatives through the Royal Foundation Sophie is also a major advocate for health she places her focus on causes that help to eliminate avoidable blindness support Women's Health tackle sexual violence and explore menopause in the workplace in a 2021 virtual chat for well-being of women she explicitly called for there to be a more public discussion about women's health arguing that too much of the dialogue is kept shrouded in secrecy Sophie said we all talk about having babies but but nobody talks about periods nobody talks about the menopause why not Sophie went on to highlight the fact that these issues are incredibly normal and suggested that something needs to change it's something that's incredibly normal but it's something that is very hidden and I think it's time to say enough regardless of the similarities or differences between the two women it seems to be the case that both Sophie and Catherine genuinely have a great relationship and that they both enjoy spending time together they are frequently photographed smiling in and laughing together at public engagements and Royal events meanwhile the two women are known to be supportive when out in public together they're even capable of sharing a laugh when things go wrong in 2017 for example Catherine managed to save Sophie during a potentially embarrassing incident at the Royal Ascot as Sophie entered a carriage that she Prince Edward Catherine and Prince William were riding in she stumbled and started to fall forward toward the Princess Catherine quickly caught her and helped stud her so she could take her seat and the pair were seen laughing about it right after a similar incident occurred in 2018 as the Royals gathered outside princess yin's wedding to Jack Brooks Bank the wind started to cause the Hem of Catherine's pink dress to fly up but with the help of Sophie she managed to keep herself from embarrassment once again Sophie and Catherine were seen smiling right afterwards proving that no matter how embarrassing a situation they're quite capable of helping each other out turns out even Royals can have each other's backs two Royals whose relationship isn't always talked about are Princess Anne and Kate Middleton do these royal family members get along there's no denying that the media coverage of Kate Middleton has been extensive ever since she came onto the scene back when she and Prince William were dating as college students there has been immense interest in her so much so that at times she was criticized for simply living her life as noted by BuzzFeed news after Kate got married to William things calmed down a little bit but revved back up as Royal tensions bubbled to the surface Princess Anne who also came of age in a spotlighted position shared her thoughts on the scrutiny and attention that Kate has been exposed to in the documentary Anne the Princess Royal at 70 Anne said the pressure that is applied to the younger members of the family it's always worse the Princess Royal went on to say that the media attention that Kate is exposed to is challenging and pointed to the fact that social media has made things that much more challenging saying the pressure that is applied to the younger members of the family is hard sometimes to deal with there was no social media in my day and it's probably made it more difficult the world always watches the Royals when it comes to paying tribute to their family members for instance it was very obvious that things would dicey when Prince William and Kate Middleton didn't publicly wish Prince Harry and Megan Markle well on their third wedding anniversary so needless to say when Kate issues a public message the world takes notice this was especially true when she wished princess s a happy 70th birthday on social media the caption on the post read wishing a very happy 70th birthday to her Royal Highness the Princess Royal the post had more than 500,000 likes the world was understandably shaken when Prince Phillip Queen Elizabeth's husband died in 2021 while he was getting on in years his presence within the royal family and his importance to the queen cannot be understated as such when philli died Kate Middleton and Prince say Anne reportedly joined ranks and devised a plan to address the Queen's needs moving forward according to express Kate and Anne were joined by Camila Parker BS and Sophie the Royal women apparently developed a plan to ensure that the queen was not left by herself while on the job a source close to the Palace told the mirror the queen will not be alone she will have others who care about her deeply and want to be there to support her in her most pressing hour given that Anne is Elizabeth's only daughter and that haate has been on the Royal scene for more than a decade it makes sense that they joined together to address such a trying time for their family and for the Monarch after proving her worth and dedication to the royal family just as Princess an did Kate Middleton was given a very prestigious Title by Queen Elizabeth and now shares it with Anne as well as Prince philli and Camila parols as noted by Express the queen named Kate a Dame Grand Cross of the royal Victorian order and the new title Co coincided with her e8th wedding anniversary to Prince William the title is the highest rank in a form of chivalry personally granted by The Sovereign to recognize one's service and given that service is extremely important to Anne the distinction and shared title between her and Kate is highly notable Express further noted that Anne was bestowed the very same title in 2007 and she also holds the role of grandm maintaining the image of the crown has been very crucial to both both Anne and Kate and as of 2018 their titles Bond them the Olympics just the two words alone spark a certain amount of Home Country Pride and competition but that's nothing compared to the feelings of dedication and patriotism that arise when it's your own country that's hosting the Olympics were held in London in 2012 and the Royals were front and center in the stands Kate Middleton and Princess an were spotted together at the games on a number of occasions the pair were seen chat in the stands with each other discussing what we can only assume were the riveting events that were playing out in front of them of course the 2012 Olympics were a huge deal for Anne as her daughter Zara Tindle won a silver medal in the Equestrian Team event when Kate Middleton and Prince Williams first child Prince George was born it seemed like the whole world celebrated with them that is except for Princess Anne it appeared as noted by Express the Princess Royal is said to have dropped an interesting meant about the new addition to the family and it supposedly ruffled some feathers so what exactly happened before George was born Anne was asked if she was looking forward to having a new little bundle of joy in the royal family she reportedly responded to the question by saying nothing to do with me but it's very good news if you think the answer is a little odd you're not the only one people took to social media to call out Anne for her comment with some people calling her quote miserable it remains unclear just how much an's comment impacted her relationship with Kate but we can't imagine it went over extremely well if you're confused about Royal protocols you're not alone there are a lot of rules to follow so much so that who Kate Middleton curtsies to changes depending on who she is with at the time as noted by cheat sheet Kate has to curtsy to Princess Anne but only when she is not accompanied by her husband Prince William when alone Kate also has to curtsy to princess beatric and princess Eugene as she is not of Royal Blood but all of that changes when William is around if he is an then has to curtsy to Kate even though Kate did not inherit her royal title by birth she is still poised to take on one of the highest ranked positions in the royal family when William becomes king Kate will become Queen consort when that happens everyone including Anne will have to bow or courtsy to her except for her husband Princess Anne is by and large known as the hardest working Royal she has outperformed her family members in terms of attending events and has not been shy when sharing what she thinks about the approach of younger Royals namely Kate Middleton and Prince William in a sit down interview with Vanity Fair Anne said that even though she may look like the quot boring old fuddy duddy she's always gone about her royal duties in the same way and she knows what it takes to be a successful member of the royal family and told the publication I don't think this younger generation probably understands understands what I was doing in the past nowadays they're much more looking for oh let's do it a new way and I'm already at the stage please do not reinvent that particular wheel some of these things don't work and continued by saying that the younger Royals need quote to go back to basics when it comes to their approach to Royal life Kate Middleton always looks good she's put together classy and always the picture of sophistication but eagle-eyed fans have started to notice that Kate may be taking fashion inspiration from none other than Princess Anne who started many fashion trends during the 1970s as noted by Express Kate was spotted in a green dress that featured long sleeves and a high neckline the entire ensemble was very indicative of an's go-to silhouette the dress in question hasn't been the only time that Kate has echoed the fashion choices of the Princess Royal Express reported that after Kate returned to Royal Duty following the birth of her youngest child Prince Louie she was seen in a number of 19 70s inspired looks that featured high necklines and bell-shaped sleeves all Silhouettes that were rocked by Anne years prior Kate may also be looking to Anne for inspiration when it comes to her royal duties as afo mentioned Anne is one of the most prominent hardworking members of the royal family it makes sense that given Kate's direct line to the throne she would be emulating the Royal example that Anne has set forth does King Charles III have Grandpa envy and how did he really feel when he first met Kate Katherine Middleton Princess of Wales has been open about the importance of family in her life revealing that spending quality time with her loved ones is something she doesn't take for granted and family is very important to you yeah no it it's very important of course Kate also belongs to one of the most famous families in the world after marrying William the current Prince of Wales she took her place within the royal family as the future queen and the daughter-in-law of the man now known as King Charles the thir after welcoming her first son George she also likely became the mother of the Future King while she doesn't have Royal Blood herself Kate is said to have made her own Mark within the monarchy and even shares special bonds with the family including her father-in-law Charles according to the mirror once the two began seriously dating William brought Kate home to meet his father and it seems that she made a good impression on her future father-in-law after the couple made it official and got engaged Charles was said to welcome Kate into the royal family with open arms and she said he was very very welcoming and very friendly toward her adding that it couldn't have gone easier Charles's affection for Kate only seemed to grow as her royal wedding to William approached and the King was said to have given a very emotional toast at the couple's wedding reception at Buckingham Palace Hello magazine notes Charles described Kate as the daughter he never had and added that the family was lucky to have her in their lives he also wished the newly wordss a lifetime of happiness as they embarked on their new journey together according to express it's clear that Kate holds a great deal of affection for the new king Royal expert Judy James previously told the outlet that not only does she have a great rapport with Charles but Kate's love for her father-in-law also seems to help her bond with his wife Camila the queen consort James said the affection Kate clearly feels for her father-in-law could be one big thing she has in common with Camila in the years since she joined the royal family Katherine and Charles have been seen looking happy and comfortable with each other during public events the pair have been photographed in many Sweet Moments together such as embracing in Belgium in 2017 and making arts and crafts together in 2012 Katherine and her father-in-law have also been photographed laughing and joking together on several occasions both with and without William at their side seemingly offering proof that they have a sweet Bond that's all their own so how does Charles feel about Will and Kate's Celebrity Status that's a very good question Royal biographer Tom Bower claimed that Charles once felt overshadowed by William and Kate's popularity in addition the King was said to feel a bit left out and saddened that Kate's parents appeared to be the favorite grandparents among the prince and princess of wales's children but King Charles is said to have a real soft spot for his daughter-in-law the Monarch reportedly believes that Catherine has been a rock for the royal family during the recent scandals and tragedies they've endured A source told Woman's World in 2020 to his surprise this series of unfortunate events has brought him closer to Kate who's been a real Rock for not just William but Charles as well Kate is truly the daughter he never had and he's grateful for her calming presence in such stressful times it seems clear that Kate and Charles have a deep mutual love and respect for one another which likely helps to create a solid support system and backbone for Prince William as he steps up as the next in line to the throne what about Kate's relationship with the Duchess of Cornwall here's what you need to know about the relationship between them Kate Middleton met Prince William in 2001 when they were both students at the University of St Andrews in Scotland they started off as friends and by 2004 they were officially dating a couple of years after that Kate was attending high-profile events as William's girlfriend including the wedding of Camila Parker Bowl's daughter Laura in 2006 Camila might not have been quite as smitten as William however in the book game of crowns author Christopher Anderson alleged that Camila referred to Kate as quote pretty but dim and deemed her too low in status to become a royal Kate's parents Michael and Carol Middleton were considered commoners as they weren't members of the aristocracy Camila on the other hand was a member of the aristocracy even before she married Prince Charles but there may have been more at play than just snobbery according to Anderson Camila was jealous of Kate's public popularity and as he wrote young gracious smart and stunning The White Queen known familiarly as just playing Kate captured the world's imagination even before she could officially lay claim to her royal lover's heart as things between Kate Middleton and Prince William grew more serious it seems Camila brushed aside any hard feelings that may have existed she apparently even went so far as to give the future Duchess of Cambridge advice on how to hold on to her man amid all the pressures of Royal Duty after all before her current relationship with Prince Charles Camila had originally dated the prince decades before only to see it end when Charles was sent overseas to serve in the Royal Navy after William and Kate graduated from college the prince was expected to assume more official Royal duties at the same time he was training to be a helicopter pilot in the Royal Air Force Robert Lacy wrote in his book Battle of Brothers William Harry and the inside story of a family in Tamal after s ERS University Williams timetable was proving rather unfit round marriage had not been included in that schedule Camila urged Kate to be patient and told the future Dutchess PE Lacy fit your timetable well basically your whole life around his Prince William eventually proposed in 2010 Kate Middleton's 2011 Royal Wedding to Prince William at Westminster Abbey was always going to be a massive event while such a ceremony requires a team of planners Camila Parker bows had some important tips to share while her marriage to Prince Charles was Grand her 1973 wedding to Andrew Parker bows had been declared according to the express the society wedding of the year in the weeks before Kate's wedding the two women were seen enjoying a long lunch at the Berkeley Hotel in London joined by Kate's sister Pippa and Camila's daughter Laura the ladies reportedly chatted about everything from meal options to music choices as another restaurant goer told the daily mail I did hear talk of trumpets and someone said we can't have trumpets the ceiling is too high I heard chipil ladas sausages on sticks and mini pizzas but I don't know whether it was ironic or not Kate Middleton is usually the picture of poise but even the best of us slip up every now and again she's been called out at least twice for perceived slights against Camila Parker wols whether they were intentional or not the first time was in 2018 when Camila was on the receiving end of Kate's famous expressive eyes during the wedding of Prince Harry and Megan marle at St George's Chapel the two women were seated beside each other and at one point Kate appeared to shoot some side eye in Camila's Direction a year later Kate and Camila attended the order of the Garter along with other Royals at one point Kate was having a lively conversation with Queen Letizia of Spain while Camila stood nearby with her back turned to them then when Camila turned around and tried to join in the conversation she was left hanging for for a few moments as the two younger Royals appeared to ignore her no matter what may be going on in private Kate Middleton and Camila Parker bus have displayed a fondness for their relationship in public when Camila's brother died unexpectedly in 2014 Kate and William were touring New Zealand and Australia but despite a hectic schedule the couple made sure to express their condolences issuing a statement that read the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were saddened to learn this morning of the tragic death of Mark Shand their thought are with the Duchess of Cornwall and her family at this time and while the Royals are famously tight lipped about each other Camila did share a rave review of Kate prior to her marrying Prince William CBS reported that Camila said during an event at the Covent Garden Academy of flowers Kate's a lovely girl we're very lucky when you attend hundreds of public events a year something is bound to go wrong fortunately both Kate Middleton and Camila Parker Bulls are able to laugh at life's mishaps one such moment occurred at trooping the color in 2019 when Prince Louie Kate's youngest son who was just over a year old at the time got a little too excited waving his arms about and nearly knocked kima's hat off but there was no need to panic as both Mom and Grandma found it funny at a previous fly past in 2018 this time to Mark the 100th anniversary of the royal Air Force Prince Charles had a wardrobe malfunction involving his jacket Charles Kate and William had a good laugh about it as Camila managed to sort the issue both women are known to be quite funny and private as well and at least one Royal Observer said the ability to see the Lighter Side of Life helped strengthen their relationship with each other Penny Junior an expert on the royal family told mcleans they are two very normal people Camila is so easy to get on with so unstuck up and Kate is Young and friendly Camila Parker bows and Kate Middleton enjoy making desserts and are Unapologetic about having a sweet tooth on the TV special a Barry Royal Christmas Kate told host Mary Barry that she always makes her children's birthday cakes and explained I love making the cake it's become a bit of a tradition that I stay up till midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and Camila has serious skills of her own while serving at the Royal voluntary service lunch Club she decorated Trifles with whipped toppings

her majesty when the pandemic hit in 2020 on September 8th 2022 the royal family headed to Balmoral Castle after doctors informed them that Queen Elizabeth's health Health was rapidly declining but

a shared sense of what's fun commenting on photos of the two from the 2017 trooping the color ceremony James said these delightful poses suggest unexpectedly Rich bonds between Kate and Prince Phillip
