There’s A Very Sweet Reason Why Queen Elizabeth And Carole Middleton Get On So Well

It’s hard to find fault with Kate Middleton, the royal who always has a smile on her face is raising three lovely children and is in line to be the royal consort one day. There is little doubt that she is one of the most visible and well-liked royals and in this time of coronavirus pandemic she has certainly stepped up to the plate along with her husband Prince William.

They both continue to play a significant role in reassuring the country even as they isolate at home.

William And Kate Are A Dream Couple That Queen Elizabeth Can Depend On In Troubled Times

According to one royal watcher, Kate’s parents Carole and Michael have also been warmly welcomed into the family fold which is not surprising as the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree!

Royal expert Katie Nicholl observes, “I definitely think courtiers were determined that Kate should marry into the family feeling as comfortable as possible. And I just don’t think William was going to take any chances. I mean, he adores the Middletons – he has a very close relationship with Michael and with Carole, so he also did not want them to be sidelined as soon as Kate married into the family.”

But there is said to be a special bond between Her Majesty and the Duchess of Cambridge’s mother, Carole.

Why Are Queen Elizabeth And Carole Middleton Reportedly Close?

Royal watcher Katie Nicholl believes that these two strong and independent women have bonded over a mutual adoration of equestrian sports, especially their love of horse racing.

It’s been reported that Carole and Michael own a stake in a racehorse, and the Queen has owned many racehorses during her lifetime.

Another royal watcher has echoed Nicholl’s sentiments about the royals and the Middleton’s. “I don’t think there will be any need for (the Duchess of Cambridge) to distance herself from her family,” said HELLO!’s Emily Nash in the ITV documentary, Kate: The Making of a Modern Queen.

“They’re obviously very important to both William and Kate and they’ve really been accepted into the royal fold if you like.”

Nash pointed out that, “We’ve seen the Queen driving Carole Middleton around at Balmoral pointing out sites to her. They’re obviously very comfortable in each other’s company. The family has also enjoyed lunches at Sandringham and they’ve stayed at Prince Charles’ Birkhall home.”

As a side note, multiple outlets have reported that Charles is jealous of the Middleton’s and the time they spend with their mutual grandkids—do you think Charles is right or wrong in this case?
