If there is anyone that Prince William trusts, and who supports him in the complex phase in which his wife Kate Middleton is fighting cancer, these people are her cousins, Zara Tindall and brother Peter Phillips.
In these days, those of Royal Ascot, William of England spent a lot of time with his family and interacted with many relatives. And it is during the horse races, that Zara Tindall whispered something in his ear, sparking the curiosity of the subjects. And, so, the conversation was decoded by a lip reader. As reported by the Daily Mail, the cousin said to the prince: «Hello, it’s nice to see you, are you okay?». And he: «Yes, of course. It’s wonderful”.
Zara Tindall, 43, is daughter of Princess Anne, sister of King Charles III, and Mark Phillips, her first husband: she has always been very close to her cousin William, since they were born just 13 months apart. Royal expert Jennie Bond explained that William is also leaning heavily on Zara’s brother, Peter Phillipsit’s at her husband, Mike Tindall, to receive support during this delicate period. “I can imagine the three of them having a lot of fun together. This is William’s inner circle», said Jennie Bond to OK!. “They are people he can trust blindly and who are proving to be there for him when the going gets tough.” And again: “I’m really happy that William has a cousin, Peter Phillips, who is almost like a brother to him.”
On the other hand, the one who is his real brother, the prince Harry is now practically a stranger to the royal familyand “is not and will not be there to lend a helping hand or provide a shoulder to cry on” to Prince William.
Even with in-laws, Michael and Carole Middleton, the prince seems to have a good relationship. Even if their daughter wasn’t there, they were present at Royal Ascot, for the first public appearance after the announcement of Kate’s illness. So when her mother-in-law’s heel got stuck in her grass, he helped her get free by holding her hand, then they laughed together about the little accident.
Also without being able to have Kate by his sideWilliam is trying to complete all his royal commitments, and earlier this month, he attended the D-Day anniversary in France with his father and Queen Camilla.
Kate stayed at home, and even though she attended the Trooping The Colors, his first public appearance in many months, was not present at Royal Ascot. Illness requires time and rest, and she is rightly taking it.
