King Charles lll is closer to daughter-in-law Kate Middleton than to his son Prince William

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has emerged as a pivotal figure in the royal family, to the point where she has kind of become the face of the British monarchy at times. For that reason, it is not crazy to think that she’s forcing a closer bond with King Charles, due to her ease in performing her royal duties and her growing international popularity.

Now, a royal insider has spilled the tea about this issue, revealing to People Magazine that Kate’s relationship with King Charles lll has only grown stronger. What’s more surprising is that the Kate-Charles rapport could be much better than that between Charles and William.

But is it really that new? Not quite! In the past, Kate has been credited with helping improve the once strained relationship between Prince William and King Charles. “Kate has acted as the honest broker in that,” the source expressed, confirming she has a central role in family and royal interactions.

It looks like Kate just has that natural ability to navigate complex relationships in the royal family. From her bond with King Charles, and her interaction with Queen Camila, to the media crisis with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it looks like Kate has it covered!
