Kate Middleton Reportedly Acts as the “Glue” When Prince William and King Charles Don’t See Eye-to-Eye

Prince William, Kate Middleton and then-Prince Charles during a joint visit to the defence medical rehabilitation centre (DMRC) Stanford Hall on February 11, 2020 in Loughborough, United Kingdom.

The Princess of Wales is apparently the person who steps in to smooth things over when her husband, Prince William, and father-in-law, King Charles, have disagreements. In fact, at least one royal expert describes her as the "glue" that holds the two generations of the royal family together when tensions rise.
