Kate Middleton is encouraging ‘healthy’ relationships between her three children and believes Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will ‘help take the pressure off George’ in his future role, an expert has claimed. 

Royal biographer Christopher Andersen – who wrote the book The King: The Life of King Charles III – says the Princess of Wales doesn’t want her younger children to feel as though they are ‘spares’ like their uncle Prince Harry.

Speaking to US Weekly, the expert said George and Charlotte’s relationship in particular is ‘much healthier than it would normally be in the Royal Family’.

The author said: ‘Prince George has all the pressure.

‘He has these two siblings who can help him — who can ease some of the pressure and share some of the burden.’

What’s more, the expert claims the Prince and Princess of Wales don’t want Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five, to feel ‘sidelined’. 

The expert said the couple are conscious of how Prince Harry was ‘very hurt’ by being brought up in his older brother’s shadow and are conscious that Charlotte and Louis don’t feel the same. 

He added: ‘They don’t want to feel invisible in his shadow.’ 

Earlier this year, Prince Harry told The Telegraph that he is concerned about the other ‘spares’ in the Royal Family. 

During the interview, the Duke of Sussex noted that he hopes his efforts to highlight his own pain will pay dividends for the next generation.

‘Though William and I have talked about it once or twice, and he has made it very clear to me that his kids are not my responsibility, I still feel a responsibility,’ he said. 

‘Out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare. And that hurts, that worries me.’

The Duke of Sussex spoke candidly about his worries for Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in an interview with The Telegraph , noting that he hopes his efforts to highlight his own pain will pay dividends for the next generation 

The Duke also spoke of his own children, saying that he would not allow Archie, his eldest son, to go through the same ‘traumatic’ experience as him and his brother. 

Last month, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told FEMAIL how the Prince and Princess of Wales are ‘easing’ Prince George and Princess Charlotte into royal life.

Earlier this summmer, Prince William took George to watch England take on Australia at the Lord’s cricket ground in London on what would have been Princess Diana’s 62nd birthday.

Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte, eight, made a surprise appearance with her parents at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham last August.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams noted how the Prince and Princess of Wales are purposefully using these types of engagements to get their children used to being in public.

The expert said: ‘We know how sporty Catherine is and also how carefully she and William guard the privacy of their children when they are growing up.

‘It is therefore significant when they appear at sporting events. Interest is enormous but appearances are naturally carefully balanced.

‘Attendance at sports matches, where there is so much partisan enthusiasm among the spectators, is one of the most relaxed ways of easing [George and Charlotte] into public life.’
