In the United Kingdom royal family, the relationship between King Charles and Princess Kate has always attracted much attention.
They are not only the relationship between the king and his daughter-in-law, but also a pair of old friends. However, even the closest family members will inevitably have friction and unhappiness. Let's take a look at the warmth and small turmoil between this pair of daughters-in-law.
On a hot afternoon in July 2024, the United Kingdom royal family was once again in the spotlight of the global media.
A royal insider revealed a surprising little secret to the Daily Mail: Kate, Princess of Wales, privately called her father-in-law, King Charles, "Daddy".
The affectionate title immediately sparked a heated discussion on social media, with netizens saying that it was simply cute.
Back in 2009, Kate first stepped into Balmoral Palace to meet her future father-in-law, Charles. At the time, she could never have imagined that 15 years later, she would become one of the most popular royals in United Kingdom, and her relationship with Charles would be so close.
In the past 15 years, Kate has transformed from an ordinary girl to the Princess of Wales, and her relationship with Charles has become more and more intimate over the years. Charles even affectionately called Kate "dear daughter-in-law" and "dear daughter". This warm atmosphere is reminiscent of a happy family in a fairy tale.
However, at the beginning of 2024, a sudden health crisis shattered the peace of the royal family. King Charles and Princess Kate were diagnosed with cancer successively. The news shocked the world like a bolt from the blue. But in this difficult time, the bond between them has only become stronger.
It is reported that during Kate's hospitalization, Charles visited the hospital bed many times. And the day before Kate made her cancer diagnosis public, they had an intimate lunch together at Windsor. These details all reflect Charles's care and love for Kate.
Royal expert Robert · Hardeman said in an interview: "It's clear that the king cares a lot about Kate. I believe that the King has always been able to give strength to Kate, just as Kate has been able to give strength to the King. This must have brought them closer together. "
However, like all families, no matter how close the relationship is, there will inevitably be friction and unhappiness. On May 6, 2023, at the coronation of King Charles, Prince William's family was unexpectedly late. This small mistake annoyed the always strict Charles.
Royal expert Katie · Nicol revealed on a podcast: "The king is annoyed because we all know he hates being late, he doesn't like to wait. This is an important moment for the royal family. So their late arrival inevitably annoyed the king. "
However, we also need to understand the difficulties of William and Kate. It was indeed a huge challenge to attend such an important ceremony with three young children.
Imagine being busy preparing the whole family's outfits the night before and telling the kids how to behave in public. Early the next morning, I had to wake up the sleepy-eyed children and freshen up. The children laughed and procrastinated, and it seemed inevitable that they would be late.
Despite this, the Williams' family was recognized for their performance at the coronation. Nicol quoted a friend of the Welsh family: "They look more royal than ever, but I can also see how much pressure they are under. The friend also likened them to swans, gliding gracefully on the surface but paddling wildly underwater.
This graphic description is really funny!
However, this little episode just shows that even members of the royal family can face the troubles of ordinary families. But more importantly, the incident did not affect the relationship between Charles and Kate. Instead, they supported each other in the subsequent cancer treatment process and grew closer.
The detail that Kate calls Charles "Daddy" also reflects the intimacy between them from the side. This title not only reflects Kate's respect for Charles, but also shows her status and affinity in the royal family.
Netizens reacted enthusiastically to this, with some commenting: "Although Kate is from a civilian background, she fits perfectly into the royal family." The title 'Daddy' is so cute and shows the intimacy between her and Charles. Another said, "It's so heartwarming to see them supporting each other." Hope they all get well soon! "
However, there are also cautions against overly idealizing royal relationships. One social media user wrote: "Don't forget, they are also ordinary people, and there will be conflicts and frictions. What matters is how they deal with these issues. "
