The sweet bond between Prince William and his mother-in-law, Carol Middleton, was on full display on the second day of Royal Ascot yesterday - after the Prince of Wales swooped in and her heels stuck in the grass at the Royal Diary's annual staples to help Carol avoid a potentially embarrassing fall. including.

Missing — perhaps not surprisingly — the Princess of Wales made a surprise appearance at Trooping The Colour last Saturday, saying in a statement released last Friday that she wanted to take part in several royal events this summer, but has not fully returned to work (although she did not specify which ones).

In an engagement interview between William and Kate in 2010, William expressed affection for Middleton — and Kate's very close birth family is believed to be one of the many reasons why William was first attracted to her dating in early aughts.1 (In addition to her mother Carol, Kate is very close to her father Michael and her young siblings Pippa and James."Kate was very much in the family," William said after the 2010 hit Hi. "I'm doing really well with them and I'm very lucky that they've been so cooperative. Mike and Carol were really loving, caring, really fun and really welcoming to me, so I really felt part of the family — and I hope that Cato felt the same as my family.My family felt the same as my family, I hope to be with my family."

Yesterday's appearance at Royal Ascot was the first time it had been seen publicly since May 12 last year when Carol and Michael attended Kate's Christmas Carol concert at Westminster Abbey. Since then, Kate has been diagnosed with cancer at the top of the year and it has been a tumultuous one, with rampant public speculation surrounding her absence from public life. Carol, who lives at Bucklebury Manor in Berkshire, is being spotted in an informal capacity in 2024, despite being modest.She drove Kate through Windsor on the fresh 3rd Month immediately after the infamous Photogate scandal and was photographed in a pub with William on the 4th month. Carol also spent the Easter holiday with 5 families in Wales (William and Kate and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis) at Anmer Hall, a rural home in Norfolk.

On the second day of Royal Ascot yesterday, the Daily Mail reports that "Carol was seen having her very own Cinderella moment as her feet slipped off her heels left on the ground," but luckily she had a charming prince in hand."Enter William, who rescued his mother-in-law from a potentially embarrassing fall; The Daily Mail reported: "The pair were seen laughing at the incident as they walked along and joined other guests.(The Daily Mail's Rebecca English asked X, formerly known as Twitter, to call the Prince of Wales a "true gentleman.""William looked delighted that his wife's parents were enjoying the day at the race," the outlet writes. To the world, she is a princess of Wales, but to Carol and Michael, it is their child.

"They are the shadowy heroes of the current era, and while they are out of the limelight, they are undoubtedly making a very important contribution at such a difficult time for the Welsh family," Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said, according to the Daily Mail. "We are delighted that Catherine has achieved such a stunning success in her first official appearance in six months at Trooping The Colour, so definitely during this stressful period she

Body language expert Judy James told the Sun that Carol and William's interaction yesterday showed "motherhood" and a "supportive bond," adding that William appears to be "relaxed" in her company and that they are "very relaxed and intimate family units." It was.

James says, "The attention in Carroll's eyes is firmly on William as he hears William speak, showing an active listening signal, making this look like a deeper, warmer, and more favorable chat than a little story in Ascot."She further added, "It is clear that Kate's mother and father's presence is very clear.", Those who have had the very parental role in William's life create what appears to be a safe place for William to relax and have fun in the wake of all the worries over his wife's illness.

After all, William has known Middleton since his tender age of 19. "It is believed that William's bond with Carol and Michael has become stronger in recent years," Tatler reported, and Royal commentator and biographer Duncan Larcombe told Miller that William had become "like an adopted child" to Middleton. 

"One of the things that clearly strengthened William and Kate's relationship from the beginning was the fact that Kate came from a very close family," he said.1 "That's what he lacked in his life, and obviously has lost his mother. So it's natural for [Carol and Michael] to step into the breach and support [William and Kate] in every way through this. Middleton is, really, the perfect antidote to royal pomp and pageantry, because they are very ordinary family units that will be important to help Kate recover."

According to Miller, Carol and Michael were understandably said to be "desperately upset" about their daughter's cancer diagnosis earlier this year, but were not only "rallying" to support both Kate and William, but their children: "They were rallying around her, especially her young family." "I think it's going to be a lot of fun," Larcombe said. "Carol and Michael would have thrown safety blankets around their young children, essentially to protect them," he said. In times like this for Kate, it is very important. It is important for children to take care of them carefully.

In Carol's own words, she told Good Housekeeping that she would always take an active part in the lives of George, Charlotte and Louis. "I want to run down a hill, climb a tree, and go through a tunnel in the playground," she said. "As far as I can, that's what I do. I cook with them. I muddy around the dance and we go on a bike ride."After a Welsh family moved to Adelaide Cottage and Windsor in 2022-9, they became much closer to Middleton geographically.This allowed only George, Charlotte, Louis and his maternal grandparents to grow closer.There is no doubt that intimacy has been further emphasized throughout the past few months.
