In recent years, we’ve seen Prince William take on the role of a committed protector in defense of his family. As Princess Kate looks to reenter the royal fold after her health scare, he’s solidly by her side. His close relationship with Carole Middleton, Kate’s mother, makes clear his commitment. He’s deeply engaged in ensuring the physical, spiritual, and emotional health of his family today.
In June, Prince William walked Carole Middleton, his mother-in-law, into the very posh Royal Ascot, showcasing their close relationship. According to royal expert and celebrity psychologist Dr. Arthur Cassidy, Prince William’s behavior around Carole was significant. He noted that their relationship presents an example of positive family representation. He celebrated her authentic charisma, her exuberance and real fun-loving spirit. He thought that William would be attracted to her, perceiving her as an intelligent and ambitious shrewd entrepreneur who could sheepdog him to develop inside the royal carcass.
At recent public outings, including the Trooping the Colour ceremony, Prince William has shown papa bear instincts. Further, he was there as Kate slowly returned to the public eye, after finishing her chemotherapy last fall. The newlyweds shared an adorable kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Their loving children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis celebrated with them during the ceremony.
The Wales family shared a candid snapshot from Trooping the Colour on social media, captioning it: “Another brilliant day at Trooping the Colour for His Majesty’s Birthday Parade. Thank you to everybody who came, and to all those who took part.” This public engagement serves to emphasize their deep-seated commitment to the monarchy, whilst still portraying an accessible, family-friendly facade.
Prince William’s relationship with mother-in-law, Carole Middleton, is significant. Dr. Cassidy remarked on the significance of this bond, stating, “Prince William is consistently a calming influence on not only Carole but the entire Middleton family.” This unique dynamic has seen William pursuing his own personal balance between the demands of royal duty with public life and activism.
As they attended various public outings together, such as Wimbledon and the Order of the Garter service, Prince William and Kate exemplified a united front. They left their Garter service in a carriage, emphasizing just as much their union in family life as their joint royal roles.
Dr. Cassidy said Carole Middleton’s advice could have been vital for the royal couple. These views could prove invaluable as they seek to revive the British monarchy for the 21st century. He stated, “Having the business head of Carole would be a most significant and refreshing external source as William could turn to her wisdom and guidance on how he and Kate could make the monarchy more relatable for the future.”
Prince William is an expert in balancing his family obligations with his royal ones. Not only is he the protector of the home, he’s a spiritual leader, provider and visionary which enable his family to flourish, personally and even politically.
