- UK News. Royal biographer hails shy Princess Kate for public cancer announcement
Kate Middleton's revelation that she suffers from an unspecified type of cancer took the world by surprise. Since then, her family, her friends, and her irers have rallied to the Princess of Wales, however, the most important for her at this time is, as could be expected, that of her mother.
Carole Middleton has been a pillar for Kate right now. Since this past January, when her daughter underwent abdominal surgery, Carole has been with her every step. From accompanying her during her stay in the hospital to taking her grandchildren to and from school, the Middleton matriarch has not left her daughter alone.
In recent days, a close friend of the family gave a closer look at this new Middleton dynamic, explaining that Carole's help has revolved around three fundamental axes: rescue, tranquility, and .
The invaluable help of Carole Middleton
In an interview with the British newspaper "The Independent," the source said that as soon as she found out about her daughter's diagnosis, Carole "came to the rescue, gave them peace of mind, and has been a great for Kate and William."
"Carole has been the driving force in keeping the family together with minimal fuss and maximum modesty," the Middletons' friend said during the talk.
The interviewee assured that one of Carole's main tasks has been to take care of her grandchildren, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. To allow Kate to focus on her treatment, her mother had to become "a real Mary Poppins," the source claimed.
Royal experts confirm it
Duncan Larcombe, a royal biographer, corroborated what the source said in an interview with "The Mirror." The royal expert noted, "I think they found out (about the diagnosis) when Kate found out, and they've played a big role in ing the family ever since."
The Middletons, Carole and her husband Michael, have also poured their into Prince William, whom they love like a son. "One of the things that has clearly strengthened the relationship between William and Kate from the beginning was the fact that Kate came from a very close-knit family. It's something that's been missing in her life," Larcombe explained.
He considered that this family unity will be essential in the coming months to help in Kate's recovery. "The Middletons are really the perfect antidote to the pomp of the Royal Family because they are a fairly ordinary family unit, which will be important in helping Kate's recovery."
