The report also stated that Carole emerged as ‘the driving force’ in the two decades of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s journey as a couple.
A source close to the family had told The Independent, “Carole has been the driving force keeping the family together with minimum fuss and maximum modesty. She’s ferried and fetched George, Louis and Charlotte, taken them to school sports matches and given them endless support. She’s been a real Mary Poppins-like figure.” In another report, an insider had also disclosed to the British tabloid Daily Mirror. that Middleton’s mother had become like a “second mum” for the prince.
