Kate Middleton seems to have found a brand new confident by way of Peter Phillips wedding and sources say the future Queen of England is ‘delighted’ by the woman she’d gotten to know.

For those unversed with Mr Phillip’s choice of bride, her name is Harriet Sperling and the two just tied the know sometime last week.

Sperling was also an NHS pediatric nurse specialist before the marriage and while speaking to Closer magazine an insider just said, “Kate’s delighted to have Harriet in the family – they click naturally.”

Per their findings, “there’s no awkwardness, they genuinely enjoy each other's company.”

Moreover, “Kate and Harriet have found each other at exactly the right time and everyone around them can see how valuable that relationship could become.”

The same source also said, “Kate has never really had a female ally inside the family who shares her outlook on life, Harriet changes that. They have that same understated quality.”

“Neither feels the need to dominate a room. Kate sees somebody who has worked hard, faced challenges and remained incredibly grounded,” they also said before signing off.
