It comes as a royal expert claimed that Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie have formed a close bond with Prince William and Princess Kate after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit as senior members of the Royal Family.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said the Prince and Princess of Wales can confide in the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh as they all value each other.
She told OK!: “Sometimes it seems strange to realise that these are two different generations of royals as they seem much closer.
“But, especially after all that has happened – not only with the queen’s death but with Harry and Meghan leaving and Andrew getting ‘sacked’ – the two couples have formed a tight bond.”
And she added that both William and Kate “feel they can confide in Edward and Sophie and there are so few people a royal can entrust with their thoughts and feelings.”
“She is so easy to be with as William obviously appreciates, which is why he invited her to Battersea Power Station with him.
“And Sophie and Catherine have developed a friendship which I think both value highly,” the expert said.
