King Charles and Prince William are reportedly leaning on Princess of Wales Kate Middleton enormously amid latest chaos following the release of Earl Spencer’s bombshell memoir.

The Closer, citing the royal sources, has reported that Princess Kate really is ‘the glue holding everything together right now’.

Speaking to the outlet, the sources have claimed “At this stage, there isn’t much William can do, and Kate has been trying to remind him of that. Her stance is that there’s no point dwelling on things he simply can’t control.”

Middleton has advised William to ‘stay busy, focus on the work’ in front of them and trust that eventually this will pass, the close confidant has said.

“She’s also taking on as much of the emotional load as she can herself. It sounds clichéd, but she really is the glue holding everything together right now, and William is leaning on her enormously, and so is Charles,” the royal sources added.

Moreover, the insiders have revealed that Kate is begging William to follow King Charles lead and ‘keep the peace’.

“She says they can’t get caught up in this ugly mess; they need to stay focused on protecting the Crown and remaining dignified representatives," the source says.

Prince William is reportedly ‘worried’ about the monarch, and the monarchy's future while also wondering "what his brother is going to do next."
