According to RadarOnline.com, Kate Middleton has been working closely with King Charles III as she prepares for her eventual role as Queen. Sources have revealed that the relationship between the Princess of Wales and the king has strengthened significantly, especially as they both faced personal battles with cancer this year.
A royal insider told the newspaper: “She and Charles had a private meeting about her taking the throne sooner than expected.”
