Because Kate Middleton remains at the forefront of the royal family, the Duchess of Cambridge must be careful about the company she keeps. Royal insiders claim that Kate could confide confidently in Autumn because they understood each other’s experiences.
“It’s very hard for someone like Kate — you’ve got your own direct family and then you’ve got friends who you would trust and I don’t imagine there would be many of them. You have to be sure anything you say wouldn’t get passed on,” correspondent Angela Mollard explained on the Royals podcast (via the Express.) “…For Kate to be able to properly talk to somebody like Autumn must be incredibly valuable. She has a sister and a mum but most of us have more than a couple of people we can confide in. You just have to hope that relationship doesn’t change. Being in the Royal Family, at times, must be incredibly lonely. To have allies is very important.”
Luckily, Autumn has supposedly agreed to remain in the United Kingdom instead of returning to her native Canada, so she and Peter can raise their two daughters together. Hopefully, Kate and Autumn can maintain their relationship, too.
