Queen Relies on Kate Amidst Legal Woes and Harry’s Memoir

The Queen is turning to the Duchess of Cambridge for support as she prepares for a challenging year, marked by Prince Andrew's legal troubles and Prince Harry's upcoming memoir.

According to a royal expert, the Queen, aged 95, highly values Kate's contributions to the royal family, which have gained prominence in recent years.

In the aftermath of Megxit, the 39-year-old Duchess has taken on more responsibilities and is expected to play an even more significant role in 2022.

Royal author Katie Nicholl emphasized Kate's leadership during the tumultuous period following Megxit, noting her ability to remain composed and carry on.

As per a source, this year will see Kate truly shine, especially considering the difficulties faced by the royal family.

The source further revealed that Harry and Meghan's interviews throughout the year have caused turmoil within the royal circle.

With Harry's forthcoming memoir, which is set to unveil more intimate details about the royal family, additional issues are expected to arise.

The impending court case involving Prince Andrew will also be a source of concern for the royals.

In light of these challenges, Kate is poised to step up and provide crucial support to the Queen, who greatly values her assistance.

Meanwhile, developments have emerged regarding Prince Andrew's potential out-of-court settlement with his accuser in the US s** case.

If Judge Lewis Kaplan rejects Andrew's legal team's motion to dismiss Virginia Roberts' lawsuit early on, settling out of court remains an option.

Prince Harry's memoir has added to the family's stress, according to royal sources.

Inside Buckingham Palace and other royal households, a growing sense of anger and frustration is palpable.

Not only has Harry chosen to write such a book, but the timing of its publication in the autumn appears to be deliberately provocative.

A royal expert, Duncan Larcombe, has suggested that Kate is no longer the sister figure Prince Harry once considered her to be.

Discussing Kate's upcoming 40th birthday, Larcombe pointed out the rift between Prince William and Harry, stating that Harry would have played a significant role in any celebration for Kate in the past.

However, those days are long gone, as the ongoing feud between the brothers shows no sign of resolution.

As a result, occasions like Kate's milestone birthday serve as a stark contrast to the past.

Kate will turn 40 this Sunday and is expected to celebrate privately with William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

The Cambridges spent Christmas at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, joined by some members of the Middleton family.

If Kate decides to have a party, her parents, Carol and Michael, may assist in organizing the event.

The Middletons operate Party Pieces, a family business that sells various party supplies.

Notably, Carol Middleton also celebrates her birthday on January 31 and hinted at having a celebration in a recent Instagram post.

The Middletons are known for their tight-knit family bonds and recently showed their support for Kate by attending a carol concert she hosted at Westminster Abbey in December.

As the Queen navigates a challenging year, Kate's unwavering support and dedication to her royal duties will undoubtedly prove invaluable.
