Kate Middleton Leans on Sister Pippa Amid Health Scare

Both Pippa and Kate are navigating the joys and challenges of motherhood with three children each, all roughly the same age. In light of recent news concerning the health of Princess Kate, aged 42, who revealed her commencement of a preventative chemotherapy regimen for an undisclosed cancer, her brother James Middleton shared a heartfelt message on Instagram alongside a cherished childhood photo of the two siblings. In his post, he pledged unwavering support to the princess during this trying time.

Despite Pippa, aged 40, not actively engaging on social media, close friends offer glimpses into the deep bond she shares with her sister Kate. According to sources, the trio – Kate, Pippa, and James – share an incredibly tight-knit relationship, not only as siblings but as best friends who confide in each other.

Both Kate and Pippa are mothers to three children, similar in age. Kate, married to Prince William since 2011, has Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five. Pippa, who wed James Matthews in 2017, is a mother to Arthur, five, Grace, three, and Rose, one.

Their closeness is evident in their shared history, from living together in their twenties to Pippa's role as a bridesmaid in the royal wedding. Today, Pippa resides near her sister's home in Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate, a testament to their enduring bond.
