In a touching revelation from a royal insider, it has been disclosed that Britain’s King Charles shares a unique and deeply affectionate bond with Kate Middleton, treating her like the daughter he never had, particularly amid their shared battles with cancer.
According to insights provided to the Telegraph, the relationship between Kate Middleton and King Charles has flourished during their recent health challenges and ongoing cancer treatments.
The insider emphasized that their connection transcends the typical dynamics of in-laws, given King Charles’ dual roles as both father-in-law and monarch.
“It’s a different relationship to the one he has with his son because he’s not just pa-in-law, he is also the King,” the source revealed, shedding light on the depth of their bond.
While Kate often seeks guidance from King Charles on matters pertaining to royal duties, the insider clarified that her familial support primarily stems from her husband, Prince William, and her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton. Nevertheless, King Charles plays a significant role in Kate’s life, providing a paternal presence and unwavering support during challenging times.
“He’s not a father figure as such – she’s got her own dad to whom she’s absolutely devoted – but you could say the King treats her like the daughter he never had,” the insider remarked, underscoring the profound affection between the two.
