It is undeniable that the Princess of Wales enjoys a close bond with her in-laws, particularly Zara Tindall, Prince William’s cousin.
Princess Kate and Zara have been pictured chatting and laughing on numerous public occasions since she started dating the Duke while they were still in college. This suggests that they have a close relationship.
The Cambridges and the Tindalls both got married in 2011, and the two families were guests at one another’s weddings, so it is likely that the two have exchanged wedding planning advice. Since then, Kate and Zara have given birth to children with similar-aged children, and the families have been seen going on playdates together.
Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, are the children of William and Kate, while Mia, 8, Lena, 4, and Lucas, a son born in March 2021, are the children of Zara and Mike.
