Princess Kate's Latest Appearance Takes "A Lot of Pressure Off William" and Proves She's the Royal Family's "Superglue," Says Former Royal Butler

It was an appearance that’s been three years in the making, but Princess William and Princess Kate made their return to Easter services with the Royal Family on Sunday, April 5.

Now that William, Kate, and their children have returned to regularly scheduled programming, former royal butler Grant Harrold says the Princess of Wales is back “where she should be.”

Harrold, who served King Charles between 2004 and 2011, says that “people have missed seeing her at key events in recent years,” stressing that Kate is “such a much-loved member of the family.”
