Will she be queen sooner than expected?

Kate, Princess of Wales and future British queen, continues her preventive chemotherapy treatment at Adelaide Cottage, his home in Windsor Royal Park. No one else has seen her since her public confession that she had cancer. The Middleton family protects her from her and it is Carole, her mother, who takes her grandchildren to and from the nearby school.

The Middletons are the exact opposite of the dysfunctional Windsor family. United, loving, inseparable and willing to help when Kate, Prince William and their three children George, Charlotte and Louis are going through this difficult process.

Pippa, her sister, who went down in history for her famous “derrière” of her white dress as bridesmaid at William and Kate’s wedding, would now be named Lady in Waiting. A kind of lady-in-waiting for the future queen, who is with her on her trips, in her meetings with the public, collects the bouquets of flowers that are given to her and especially, is a close person and friend on whom the future queen can lean and trust.

Her proximity to her family today could explain the fact that the future queen never surrounded herself with ladies-in-waiting. Since the announcement of her cancer, Pippa, her younger sister, has been her rock through her illness.

In 2017, Middleton married James Matthews, a money manager, former racing driver and heir to the manor of Glen Affric. The couple has three children.

Estimates suggest that Pippa would have an estimated fortune of £43 million, after their marriage. Much more than members of the royal family, such as Princess Anne and Prince Edward. Pippa has even eclipsed her own sister Kate, who is believed to be worth around £8.6million.

“I think traditionally we would expect Catherine to name her sister Pippa, because Catherine is very close to her family. She does not have companions because she is very close to her mother and her sister,” a historian confirmed to the Mirror.

The 11 bridesmaids of Queen Elizabeth II

During her lifetime, Queen Elizabeth II had no less than 11 “bridesmaids” or Lady in Waitinglike their daughter, Princess Anne. They are “multitaskers”, with missions ranging from processing letters from their royal highnesses to organizing their agenda and managing press requests.

Since becoming queen consort, Queen Camilla has decided to abandon this tradition. However, she is still surrounded by “the Queen’s companions.” Most of them are close friends of the wife of King Charles III. Therefore, Pippa Middleton would be a completely natural choice for the future queen, as her role evolves.

But it is an indication that his reign is probably closer than the rest of the world imagines.

Prince Harry visits his father, the king

King Charles III has returned to his public activities, after announcing that he also has cancer. He continues with his treatment and, at the same time, has resumed some protocol activities that do not affect the immunity that the disease generates. This Wednesday, accompanied by Queen Camilla, he will participate in his first “Garden Party” at Buckingham Palace.

Then the king and his rebellious son, Prince Harry, will meet on Wednesday night, probably at Clarence House, the king’s London home. The second meeting of father and son, after the sovereign announced that he was sick and his daughter arrived to see him for 45 minutes, after a 10-hour flight from California.

Harry will land in London on Wednesday because it marks 10 years of Invictus, the NGO he created for competitions among military personnel wounded and maimed by war. There will be a ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral, in which he will actively participate. Actor Daniel Day Lewis will do a reading.

Absences

There will be no members of the Royal Family at the ceremony in the cathedral, although they have all been invited. It is the price to pay for his biography “Spare”, where he reveals family intimacies, and an interview, where he accused the royal family of racism.

The revelations they angered his father, the queen, his brother William and Kate, his wife, who swore never to see him again. There he immediately lost Ferogmore Cottage, the house the queen had given him for her wedding. His father evicted him. That’s why Harry lives, along with his security team, in a hotel in London.

It is likely that your cousins royals are in the cathedral. Princess Eugenie, her best friend, and her sister Beatrice with their husbands, Zara Tindall, Anne Princess Royal’s daughter, and her husband and former rugby player Mike Tindall, and Peter Philipp, her brother, could attend the ceremony. They want to separate themselves from the family psychodrama and bring Harry, who was their adored cousin, closer to them.

The king traveled from Windsor to London on Tuesday as Prince Harry prepares to fly back to Britain. The sovereign celebrates his first year on the throne.

On Wednesday night, Harry will give a reading at a thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral, marking a decade since the inaugural Invictus Games in London in 2014.

Harry is not expected to see his brother Prince Williamwho will be out of the capital on Thursday and Friday, nor to his sister-in-law Kate Middleton, whose cancer treatment continues.

Close up

Although Charles III has been hurt by his son Harry’s behavior in recent years, he has always privately insisted that he will keep the door open to continue speaking. William finds it harder to forgive or accept his brother’s marriage to Meghan.

Prince Harry’s long-awaited meeting with King Charles in London suggests that The frosty relationships between father and son could be improvingas the monarch undergoes cancer treatment.

Richard Fitzwilliams, an expert on the royal family, said he hoped Harry would visit his father during his recovery at every possible opportunity. He suggested that his meetings could pave the way for a reconciliation with his brother William. Meghan has not visited the United Kingdom since 2022.
