Prince William and Kate Middleton have been working hard to raise their children right, but an unsuspecting royal has stepped up to take at least one of the Wales children under their wing.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have not had an easy year. At the top of 2024, Kate underwent abdominal surgery only to eventually learn that she was battling cancer. And at almost the same time, King Charles announced that he was undergoing cancer treatment as well.

In the midst of unprecedented times for the royals, William and Kate have not forgotten about the importance of keeping their family grounded. With three young kids, it appears that one unsuspecting royal has taken at least one of the Wales children under their wing.

Princess Anne has formed a special bond with Princess Charlotte

Charlotte is William and Kate’s only daughter, and although Kate will certainly raise her well, Kate doesn’t have knowledge of what it was like to be a royal at age nine. Anne, however, did have a royal upbringing, and she has apparently been able to impart some wisdom on Charlotte, who is just starting to make a few more royal appearances.

“Anne’s ‘training’, if you will, isn’t just about rank, file, and curtsies either,” a source close to the family told Woman magazine, according to Express. “She’s shown her how to spark conversations, but also how to end one and move on without upsetting anyone.” As Charlotte grows up, she’ll be face-to-face with many different people, some of whom she will have to end conversations with in a polite, respectful way.

“That was a tough one for Kate to learn, but Charlotte was born to royalty so is used to the subtle signals and messaging the royals give to stay in control of a situation,” the source continued.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are happy Princess Charlotte has a ‘role model’

It’s hard to imagine a better role model than Kate Middleton, but on days where Kate feels tired due to her health, it’s nice to know that Anne is stepping up. The source reports that William and Kate are happy that Charlotte has Anne.

“They couldn’t imagine a better role model than Anne, who is renowned for her work ethic and impregnable support for the King,” the source continued. “She doesn’t put a foot wrong whilst still having her opinions not only heard but respected.” The source added that Anne was “invaluable” to Kate when Kate was just starting out in the royal family and also needed a role model.

For the most part, the children are still remaining out of the royal spotlight, but since Charlotte has a long future ahead of her in the public eye, it’s never too early to get some pointers.
