Pippa has been by Catherine's side at important events in her life. Alongside her husband, they have become part of Catherine's support system as she has faced difficulties. Pippa joined Catherine and her niece, Princess Charlotte, at the Wimbledon Men's Final in July. The crowd gave Catherine a standing ovation as she arrived at the Royal Box, and Pippa watched proudly. Catherine also has a deep bond with her brother James Middleton. His emotional reaction to her recent health update showed his support.

He expressed his pride in Catherine, adding a heart emoji to his message. The footage shows her parents, Michael and Carol Middleton, playing cards with the couple and their children, highlighting the important role their extended family has played in supporting them during difficult times. Both Prince William and Catherine are known to be close to the Middleton family, making their presence in a recent video no surprise to royal watchers. The video serves as a heartfelt tribute to her parents, showing their influence in her healing process.

In the video, Catherine's mother looks through her cards while George plays with his hands, and little Louis jumps up excitedly to grab a card. Another shot shows Charlotte joining in on the game, sitting between her mother and grandfather. Louis' playful nature adds a playful touch to the family gathering. Catherine has had unwavering support from her parents since she announced her diagnosis in March. Carol often helps her with school trips, while Pippa and James remain involved in family activities. A long-time friend said this support system ensures Catherine feels connected and not isolated.

Their close-knit family has benefited both William and Catherine during this challenging time. The Middletons have been a constant presence in the lives of their grandchildren, regularly hosting sleepovers for George, Charlotte and Louis. In April, Carol and William were seen together at a local restaurant, and then in June they attended Royal Ascot together. Seeing her children thrive under their grandfather’s care has given Catherine comfort and reassurance during her recovery.

Michael Middleton’s support has been crucial, allowing Catherine to focus on healing while knowing her family is safe. In his book “Catherine: Princess of Wales,” biographer Robert Jobson discusses how Catherine has struggled to balance royal duties with motherhood since joining the royal family. The growing relationship between her father and her children enriched all of their lives, giving Catherine the peace of mind she needed to focus on her recovery. The love and support of her parents, especially her father, was essential to Catherine and her children’s journey through this challenging time.
