As the heir to the throne, Prince William, the Prince of Wales, carries a weight of responsibility, undertaking hundreds of engagements annually, including the Prince’s recent appearance at the prestigious racing event – Royal Ascot. A royal commentator has described William’s interactions as showcasing a side of his personality.

Things were made clear as he mingled with extended family members, including his mother-in-law, Carole Middleton, as well his cousin, Zara Tindall. As reported in Hello! Magazine, royal commentator and Celebrity Psychologist Dr Arthur Cassidy has described the Prince in two words – as a “protector” and “guardian”.

He said: “Prince William is consistently a calming influence on not only Carole but the entire Middleton family. [William] is the protector and guardian of Kate and Princes George, Louis, and Princess Charlotte.”

On Carole’s positive influence, Dr. Arthur said: “Since Prince William met Kate’s mother Carole Middleton, he would have intuitively been attracted to her charismatic nature and fun-loving personality.
