Prince William is reportedly finding “solace” in his relationship with Princess Kate s brother, an expert has said. As the relationship between the Prince of Wales, 42, and Prince Harry , 40, remains fractured, royal biographer Claudia Joseph believes that William’s relationship with his wife’s family will be a great source of comfort to him. In particular, William seems to have forged a close bond with her brother James Middleton , 37.
Speaking to Fabulous , the royal biographer said: “I imagine that William finds it a huge solace that he is so close to the Middleton family as his relationship with his own brother Harry has become so fractured. “From the moment that he began dating Kate at St Andrews University, he fell in love with her close family, something he tragically lost with the divorce of his own parents and the death of his mother. “He has even jokingly called Michael Middleton ‘Dad’ and definitely enjoys their close relationship.
” This sentiment appeared to be echoed by Kate’s brother as he spoke about William in his new book Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life. According to The Sun , Claudia said: “James obviously adores his brother-in-law. “In his autobiography, he describes him as the ‘older brother’ he never had and says he was ‘reassured that they were in love’.
” James also said in the book that William had been in his life a long time and the family have “grown very fond of him”. When finding out Kate was set to marr.
