Prince William has developed a close bond with his wife Kate Middleton’s mother, Carole, describing her as a “second mother” and a key source of emotional support.

The Prince of Wales often seeks her advice and cherishes her presence in his life, highlighting the Middletons’ influence on the royal family.

Former Royal butler Grant Harold revealed to Heart Bingo Online that William has always maintained a warm relationship with both of Kate’s parents, especially Carole Middleton.

“When I was working with the family, he used to go and spend weekends at their house, which I know he really enjoyed,” Harold said. He added that the Middleton family offered William a sense of normality during his 20s and 30s.
