How Kate Middleton’s loyal friends are ‘keeping her spirits up’ after abdominal surgery
the moment.
These include Lady Laura Meade, who is Prince Louis’ godmother, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, George’s godmother and Kate’s schoolfriend, Sophie Snuggs, who had Geroge and Charlotte in her wedding party as page boy and flower girl respectively, and Natasha Archer – Kate’s stylist and reported confidant.
Bond said “I’m sure these old friends would know exactly how to keep Kate’s spirits up after such major surgery. They have probably pampered her with fabulous gifts of luxurious spa products and hampers of delicious goodies to tempt her tastebuds. They know what she might like to watch on TV or to read, and may have been sending recommendations and encouraging her to rest and take the time out she needs.”

Bond also noted that Kate’s closest confidants also include her family, with whom she is known to be very close. Her brother James Middleton, 36, even revealed in an essay he wrote that during a period that he was struggling with mental health issues, the whole family attended therapy together, to ensure his speedy recovery.
Kate is also very close to her sister Pippa, 40, and both of her parents – Carole and Micheal, and her husband William is also widely reported to also get on very well with his in-laws.
