The reported sense of solitude intensifies for Kate Middleton following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, with whom she once shared a remarkably close connection.
According to royal expert Duncan Larcombe, "Being in the royal family is a lonely place, and Kate’s got very few people now, especially after the Queen’s death, whom she can turn to for solace and confidences."
Larcombe elaborates on the impact of Meghan Markle's exit from the royal family, describing it as a blow to the Princess of Wales.
Reflecting on the dynamics between Kate and Meghan and the subsequent fallout from the royal family, he remarks, "The fact that things didn’t work out with Meghan was a real blow because Prince Harry’s bride would have been another person stuck in the same situation."
He nostalgically contrasts Kate's experience with historical camaraderie, stating, "Think back to when Diana and Fergie were always giggling and would help each other let off steam… Kate hasn’t got that."
However, a glimmer of support emerges as Kate seemingly turns to Denmark's new Queen Mary for guidance and inspiration. Acknowledging the challenges of courtly existence, Queen Mary becomes a potential source of solace for Princess Kate.
"I’m sure that the two ladies will be in close contact; there’s a definite channel of communication between the Queen and the Queen-in-waiting," asserts the expert, hinting at a newfound connection for Princess Kate.
