Princess Kate and Queen Camilla<\/a> regularly attend official royal engagements<\/a> together, and presumably socialize<\/a> with one another in family settings<\/a>. However, a royal biographer<\/a> has claimed that one particular<\/a> Royal Family member<\/a> “bridges the gap<\/a>” between Kate Middleton<\/a> and Queen Camilla<\/a>, proving themselves to be a crucial asset<\/a> in the process.<\/p>\n

Royal biographer Sean Smith, author of Sophie<\/a>: Saving the Royal Family, discussed the one person who helps to bring Princess Kate and Queen Camilla together. “The question of age is [Duchess] Sophie’s biggest asset for the Royal Family moving forward,” Smith told GB News<\/a>. “At 60, she is placed almost exactly in the middle of Kate and both Anne and Camilla<\/a>\u2014she bridges the gap between the generations<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Elaborating on why the Duchess of Edinburgh<\/a> is the perfect person to unite different generations within the Royal Family<\/a>, Smith told the outlet, “I love this quote from her: ‘We are fabulous in our forties, and we are even more fabulous in our fifties, sixties, and seventies, and we need to celebrate that and keep opportunities going for women.'”<\/p>\n

Per GB News, “Smith described how Sophie’s maturity and experience allow her to play a unique role at the center of the family, acting as a confidante for Kate<\/a> while also standing shoulder to shoulder with The Queen and Princess Royal<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Smith also commented on the news regarding Princess Kate’s move<\/a> from Adelaide Cottage<\/a> to Forest Lodge<\/a> in Windsor. Noting that Kate will live even closer to her “royal sister<\/a>” Duchess Sophie<\/a> in the new home, Smith told GB News<\/a>, “They remain the best of friends.”<\/p>\n

The biographer continued, “They have always been two middle-class girls from the country battling their way through the etiquette and traditions<\/a> of the Royal Family.”<\/p>\n

As for what might change when Princess Kate moves, Smith told the outlet, “They do not live in each other’s pockets. Kate has three young children<\/a> to occupy her attention, but [their] new home, Forest Lodge, is little more than a 10-minute drive from Bagshot Park, so Sophie is near to help and support when she can.”<\/p>\n
