ANNE & SOPHIE 'WE'VE GOT KATE'S BACK'

WITH THESE TWO IN HER CORNER, KATE CAN REST EASY

The Princess Royal and the Duchess of Edinburgh are enveloping their niece-in-law with love and kindness to help her heal.

While Anne, 73, and Sophie, 59, might be a generation ahead of Kate, that hasn’t stopped the trio from becoming firm friends, and even closer confidants. Binding them together is a shared love of family, and an unrivaled devotion to the Crown.

As Kate bravely continues her cancer treatment, Anne and Sophie have rallied around the mother of three in a show of strength. Sources tell New Idea that the pair have promised to assume Kate’s duties and take any other action they can so that the Princess of Wales can focus on getting well.

“It’s unprecedented times and they are all rallying together,” shares the palace insider. “Sophie’s background in public relations has truly been invaluable to the rest of the family.”
