Royal enthusiasts were left puzzled by the absence of the Middletons, known for their strong family bonds, during Princess Catherine’s recent hospitalization.
Speculation and rumors circulated about their whereabouts, but now, insights have emerged on why Carol and Michael Middleton were not seen visiting their daughter during her stay at the London Clinic, as shared by Royal Editor Sarah Hewson.
During Vanessa Felt’s Talk TV segment, it was disclosed that the Middletons were indeed present to support Catherine during her medical ordeal.
Their lack of public appearances was not due to a lack of care or involvement.
In reality, they were assisting Prince William with the couple’s three children while he remained by Catherine’s side.
Hewson elaborated, mentioning, “We haven’t seen them, but we saw William on the first day and then we didn’t see him again.
Carol and Michael Middleton were on hand particularly to help out with the children when William was perhaps visiting his wife.”
The close-knit Middleton family, renowned for their tight relationships, rallied around Catherine and William during this challenging period.
As Hewson emphasized, “They’re a tight-knit family, and close friends have been rallying around and will continue to do so because it’s going to be a long time before Catherine is really back up on her feet.”
This revelation sheds light on the deep bond between Prince William and his in-laws.
Royal expert Rachel Andrews previously highlighted William’s admiration for the Middletons, noting that he often seeks their guidance and confides in them.
Despite their absence from the hospital, Carol and Michael Middleton remain actively involved in their grandchildren’s lives.
With the family’s recent relocation to Windsor, they are now just a short drive away from George, Charlotte, and Louis.
Carol, in particular, values her time spent with the children, participating in outdoor activities and sharing common interests.
In a past interview with Good Housekeeping magazine, Carol expressed her delight in bonding with her grandchildren, showcasing her enthusiasm for outdoor adventures and playful pastimes.
Her close bond with the young royals underscores the supportive role the Middletons play in Catherine and William’s family life.
While the Middletons may not have been visible at the hospital, their presence and support behind the scenes highlight the strength of their family connections.
