Princess Kate has reportedly helped to heal old wounds between her husband Prince William, and King Charles III, with the father and son having become ‘much closer’ in recent years
Prince William now enjoys a close bond with his father King Charles III, but it hasn’t always been that way.
The heir to the throne carried emotional scars from his often traumatic childhood into adulthood, and it’s understood wife Princess Kate has helped to make peace between the father and son duo. As detailed in his brand new biography Catherine, Princess of Wales, ‘instinctive peace-maker’ Kate has proven to be a ‘calming influence’ on her husband – a factor that helped the couple build such a strong marriage. And it’s Kate who has also helped father-of-three William mend bonds with King Charles, whose key act during his son’s childhood had a ‘detrimental impact’ on him…
In a passage published by the Mail Online, royal correspondent Jobson revealed: “One reason his marriage works so well is that — like the Queen Mother — Catherine is a calming influence on her spouse. An instinctive peace-maker, she has smoothed the way for William and his father to have a better relationship than they had in the past.”
He continued: “In recent years, they have become much closer,’ said a senior source. ‘He also respects his father and his devotion to service, but he feels the fact his father put work first had a detrimental impact on him when he was growing up and didn’t help their father/son relationship’.” The explosive new biography, which you can purchase from August 1 onward, tells ‘the full story of how Catherine, the Princess of Wales, became the widely admired woman she is today, offering a closer look at her life inside a ‘modern-day fairytale’.
As per the biography description: “Her self-deprecation, willingness to laugh at herself, solid work ethic – along with her husband, William, warmth, and accessibility – this Royal Family ‘s dynamic duo have become the most popular members of the Royal Family. But it’s not come without its fair share of commentary and scandal, particularly with recent revelations on the relationship of the ‘Fab Four’ with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as well as her own health scares.” You can now pre-order a hardcover copy of Catherine, the Princess of Wales for £15 on Amazon.
