Princess of Wales Kate Middleton is putting her own stress to the side and supporting her husband Prince William as the Prince of Wales has landed in a ‘terrible state’.

According to a report by the Closer, following Andrew scandal, Harry and Meghan’s scathing tell-alls and now Earl Spencer’s memoir, the reputation of the monarchy has taken a huge hit.

This latest royal drama is William’s ‘worst nightmare’ - not least because his beloved mother is right at the centre of the scandal.

The insiders have claimed that Kate, who has been widely known as the Royal Family’s peacemaker in the past, is encouraging William to not only remain dignified, but to prioritise protecting his own health, too.

The royal sources continued, “It’s a wonder how Kate is coping with all of this herself because it’s an awful lot for her to take in as well. But as always, she’s putting her own stress to the side and focusing on what needs to be done, and right now her priority is William because he’s in such a terrible state and there’s no end in sight.”

Moreover, royal expert Jennie Bond has said throughout the last intense days, “we have seen William and Catherine getting on with their work, ignoring the noise and concentrating on the job.

“I think Catherine’s battle against cancer has helped her see past the slings and arrows of life that don’t really matter.”
