Prince William's heart-wrenching promise to Carole and Michael Middleton reportedly means he'll "feel guilty" for Kate's "hardships".
The Princess of Wales's family has remained a huge part of her life since she and Prince William married in 2011. Not only have they been invited to high-profile royal events like the coronation, but over the years Carole has been described as “indispensable” when it comes to helping look after the Wales children. Prince William is also close to his parents-in-law and according to former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, the challenges of recent weeks will likely be weighing on him all the more because of a promise he once made to Carole and Michael.
