Princess Kate has formed a very close bond with one key royal, says expert

The Princess of Wales shares a very close "sisterly"-like bond with one key senior working member of the Royal Family, as she continues her cancer recovery, a royal expert has claimed.

Princess Kate has had a tough year after she was found to have a type of cancer back in March, for which she underwent preventative chemotherapy for.

The future Queen has only made a handful of public appearances this year, with the last one being the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in London, where she was snapped on the balcony alongside the Duchess of Edinburgh, who watched the ceremony with her and was seen placing a hand on her back when they were making their exit.

Now royal author Ingrid Seward claimed Duchess Sophie is like "the older sister Kate never had" and commented on how the two women's bond have become increasingly stronger over the last few years, particularly after the princess's cancer diagnosis.

She told Hello!: "The royals have always shown a human side but there is more warmth now.

"That gesture of Sophie putting her arm around Kate is something you wouldn't have seen a few years ago.

"They have a sisterly bond and Sophie is like the older sister Kate never had."

The royal expert added that another factor which has played a major role in forming that close bond is that they both have faces serious health crisis, thus, Sophie has got "deeper understanding" of the emotional toll the past few months have taken on Kate.

She explained: "They are both incredibly kind girls and have a caring side to them. They are both protective of their children. Sophie has had a young family, so she knows what it's like trying to protect them while being in the royal world.
