The Prince and Princess of Wales have faced so many difficult moments head-on together over the years, though sometimes they are in need of a little additional support. When the late Queen Elizabeth passed away in Scotland in September 2022, many expected Kate to travel with William to Balmoral to say a final goodbye in private and join the new King Charles.
However, the mum-of-three defied these expectations and remained at home in Berkshire, as this was also Prince George, Charlotte and Louis’s first day at their new school. Writing in his new book, William & Catherine, royal author Russell Myers claims that Kate called her mum Carole Middleton to be there when the kids got home.
