Kate Middleton Is Reportedly Relying Heavily on This Member of Her Inner Circle Amid Cancer Battle

Catherine, Princess of Wales, better known as Kate Middleton, is relying on quite a few people during this perilous time, when both she and her father-in-law, King Charles III, are dealing with cancer diagnosis. When Kate announced her shocking cancer diagnosis, she shouted out her husband Prince William, their children, and her family. And while many of her friends were reportedly shocked by her diagnosis, one member of her inner circle has been by her side: her sister Pippa Middleton.

Insiders told The Times that Pippa has always been Kate’s best friend, but during this time, Pippa has stayed loyal to Kate throughout it all.

“The three siblings are incredibly tight … Pippa not only as a sister but as a best friend she can confide in,” insiders told the outlet. “They are extremely loyal to one another.”

Many pointed out that Pippa went on a trip to St.Barts in February 2024 amid Kate’s disappearance from the public eye, per Tatler. But many also pointed out that this was probably planned months ahead since it was a family vacation, and that they may not have known about Kate’s diagnosis yet since she indicated in her video that they later found out her condition was cancerous.

But now, the Middletons have always been tight, and it seems Pippa won’t be leaving Kate’s side anytime soon.

For those who don’t know, they also used to be roommates when they left home and go on holiday together with their families all the time, especially since they both are families of five.
