The Princess of Wales, who recently finished her chemotherapy treatment amidst her cancer battle, was joined by the Duchess on the balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on Remembrance Sunday. The two women stood side by side for the two minutes’ silence, which was broadcast live to the nation, and watched on as King Charles led the wreath-laying alongside the Prince of Wales and Sir Keir Starmer. But it was in the moments shortly afterwards, when the two exchanged a smile and Sophie placed a reassuring hand onto Kate Middleton’s back, which drew headlines.

It should perhaps come as no surprise, showing the close bond between the two women, who married into the royal family and are both known for their stoic and hardworking natures. Since joining The Firm, the two women have cemented their places at the heart of the monarchy. The Duchess and Princess were both loved by Queen Elizabeth II and are now seen as safe pairs of hands when it comes to royal duties.
