Kate Middleton has become the one member of the Royal Family no one can afford to lose, and the reason for this is one major royal player that holds more power than even Queen Camilla.

This insight comes as part of a shocking development, not in status but instead in who she’s developed a relationship with.

That person is none other than the King of England, who despite facing cancer refuses to even hear any ‘bickering’ directed at her, from even the life of his life.

According to Heat, “no matter how wary Camilla may be towards Kate, she genuinely can’t afford to have her as an enemy” anymore.

They also said, “for one thing, Charles has a huge amount of respect and love for Kate, so bickering with her doesn’t go over well with him.” But he isn’t her only wall for defense. That title goes to her husband and they say, “even more crucial is how William feels and she’s simply never going to get anywhere with him if she isn’t on decent terms with Kate.”

As for what this might translate to, where a future is concerned, the insider said, “the sad reality is that she may need his help a lot sooner than she would like.” Without it “her ‘worst possible nightmare’ could come true, which would mean her being “booted out” and “having zero role in the Firm.”

In light of that the source explains, “she wants to strike some sort of compromise that would allow her to hold onto all her perks and privileges when the time comes and she reluctantly accepts that the only way to make that even a remote possibility is to start being nice to Kate.”
