Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton have forged a very tight bond. When the now-Princess of Wales entered the royal family, Camilla supported her fully and even gave her some important advice before her wedding to Prince William. Meanwhile, Kate reportedly didn’t follow all the advice—but that appears not to have made a difference, as she and William allegedly are “stronger than ever” together.

The last few years have been incredibly challenging for the royal family. It began with Queen Elizabeth II’s passing in 2022. After the feud between Harry and Meghan went into another round with the Duke’s Spare book released this year, Kate and King Charles’ cancer diagnosis has been very tough on all of them.

Queen Camilla has been said to have been very supportive of Kate Middleton in this challenging time. But not too long ago, Kate also proved herself to be a person to rely on. Camilla seemed very nervous during a big royal event, and Kate decided to act.

Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton have been seen as great partners for many years. When Kate was still dating William, the press slandered her, which Camilla knew everything about, considering what she had to go through when her and Charles’ affair became public.

Queen Camilla gave Kate Middleton advice before royal wedding

Therefore, it was probably not surprising that Camilla wanted to give Kate some ideas about royal life at an early stage.

Before her wedding to William, the now-queen brought Kate to lunch, where Camilla is said to have given Kate some advice for what was to come.

“If I can give you one bit of advice,” a person dining next to them,” he overheard Queen Camilla saying.

“They were all getting on very well and they clearly hadn’t asked for an out-of-the-way table and nor did they attempt to lower their voices,” the person told the Daily Mail.

“There was one moment which was clearly meant to be amusing when Kate said, ‘What happens if William doesn’t turn up?’”

The person at the lunch added that there were several “hand-holding” occasions, a sign that Kate and Camilla were getting along very well.

Camilla is said to have given Kate Middleton a very personal gift for the wedding present: a bracelet with the engraved letters Cs on either side of the charm. It’s not a wild guess that they stand for “Catherine” and “Camilla.”

“Camilla had confided to Kate the secret of hanging on to a busy prince”

As per Yahoo, Kate has worn it for several years when appearing at the Wimbledon tennis tournament.

In his royal biography, Battle of Brothers, author Robert Lacey stated that Kate struggled to take advice from her stepmother-in-law.

Camilla wanted to ensure that Kate knew what she had to do to make her marriage with William work. It was a subtle warning to Kate and a guide regarding how she’d make a successful royal career with her future husband, William.

“Camilla had confided to Kate the secret of hanging on to a busy prince: fit your timetable – well, basically your whole life – around his,” Lacey wrote in Battle of Brothers.

Over the years, the press has slandered both Camilla and Kate. However, the queen and future queen appear to have several other similarities.

GB News host Isabel Webster said that Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton have similar ways of supporting their husbands. At the same time, royal expert and biographer Angela Levin explained that Queen Camilla has an instinct for great timing.

“I wrote her [Camilla’s] biography, and she’s got this very strong instinct of knowing what is right at the right moment,” Levin said on GB News program Breakfast earlier this year.

Striking similarities between Queen Camilla & Kate Middleton

“The fact that she could take all the nastiness when they separated from Diana, that now she knows exactly what King Charles needs.”

Levin added, “She’s been there so solidly with the work and the engagements when you saw the picture of their 19th wedding anniversary that came out yesterday, you can see that they are so interactive together. I think that feeling you are loved is just as important as having a pill.”

Isabel Webster continued by explaining how much Camilla and Kate are alike.

“I think there’s a lot of similarities between the Queen and the Princess of Wales. I think they’re both such great partners for the King and Prince William, just temperamentally as well,” she said.

“They’re very good in the background at supporting the leading man, and they’re sort of quite stoical and I can see why actually both of them have chosen those leading ladies.”

Levin added: “Which has obviously helped William get on better with his father. Camilla helped Catherine know what to do when she joined the Royal Family; she knew what the protocol was and how to help her. Catherine was very grateful, unlike Meghan, who she tried to help as well and was not interested.”

Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton have often been on royal duty together. However, one of the more serious and emotional engagements they attend together is the yearly Remembrance Sunday service.

In 2022, the two appeared alone on a balcony to watch the parade – and Kate stepped in to help Camilla make it through.
