Speaking about the couples newfound romance and understanding, Royal expert Jennie Bond told the Mirror : “William and Catherine have seemed closer than ever, and more open about their feelings, since her cancer diagnosis. A birthday and Father’s Day all wrapped up in one weekend must be making for quite a big celebration— all focused on William. And I’m sure he will lap it up!

Speaking further of William, the expert added: “He’s proved himself to be a wonderfully loving, loyal husband who clearly adores his ‘amazing’ wife without whom, he declared, his family ‘literally couldn’t cope’. You get the impression that, like many women, Catherine is the lynchpin of the family: organising the diary, sorting out the kids’ needs and activities.

“But, unlike in many previous royal marriages, William is a really hands-on Dad — helping with the chaos of morning routines, doing the school runs, joining in the children’s games,” she noted.
