Prince William deeply relies on a mother figure from his wife’s family.

The Prince of Wales admires and confides in Carole Middleton, wife Kate’s mother, and cherishes her presence in his life.

“William always had a good relationship with both Kate’s parents, but especially her mother, Carole,” former Royal butler Grant Harold reveals on behalf of Heart Bingo Online.

“When I was working with the family, he used to go and spend weekends at their house, which I know he really enjoyed.

Speaking about the Middleton’s the expert added: “They are a warm and welcoming family, and I imagine gave him some of the normality he craved during his 20s and 30s.”

It is also revealed that William hails Carole “as a second mother,” saying “he would speak to her when anything worries him, and if he wants advice or guidance. It’s always been the way.”

“There were reports that Prince William insisted that the Middletons were invited to King Charles' Coronation, which is a clear sign of his feelings towards them,” Harold revealed. “I believe they will be a strong support to the Royal Family going forward.”
