As OK! previously reported, Kate and Charles’ lives were unexpectedly “turned upside down” when they were both diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. Throughout their respective health battles, the king hasn’t only been advising Kate about her future as queen, but he’s also reportedly been learning a few lessons from her.

“Charles used to seem like a very standoffish guy — and he didn’t do much to make himself more likable or accessible to the public,” an insider dished. “Because she loves spending time with him, Kate’s been giving Charles a little nudge recently to let his guard down and provide the world with a glimpse of the Charles she admires.”
