Amid Catherine, Princess of Wales’ cancer diagnosis and preventative chemotherapy, many have wondered how she and Prince William’s children have been taking the news. The Princess of Wales, better known as Kate Middleton, has been keeping a low profile in 2024, and apparently, behind the scenes, her children have been helping her whenever they can. However, experts claim Princess Charlotte is going above and beyond to help her mom.

Royal expert and author of Ingrid Seward, claimed to Hello! that “protective” Charlotte is “taking care” of Kate.

“I think that Charlotte is really taking care of her mum. It was quite sweet the way she stood in front of her and they kept chatting,” Ingrid alleged, discussing their body language at the 2024 Trooping the Colour. “Charlotte seems to be very full of admiration for her mother, which I think is a lovely thing, too.”

She also alleged, “Kate and Charlotte are great friends and I think to Kate, their bond is very precious. The mother-daughter relationship is obviously particularly important to Kate because she has such a close relationship with her own mother, Carole Middleton.”

For those who don’t know, William and Kate have been together on and off since 2003. Since their nuptials, they have since welcomed three children named George, 10, Charlotte, 9, and Louis, 6.

In a previous podcast episode of , hosted by Giovanna Fletcher, via Town and Country, Kate talked about how she incorporates her family traditions into her parenting.

“I had an amazing Granny who devoted a lot of time to us—playing with us, doing arts and crafts, and going to the greenhouse to do gardening, and cooking with us—and I try and incorporate a lot of the experiences that she gave us at the time into the experiences that I give my children now,” she said.
