Prince Harry opens up about his close bond with Duchess Kate
Prince Harry has opened up about his relationship with his sister-in-law Kate, calling her the sister he never had.
The 32-year-old royal revealed in an interview with Newsweek that he and the Duchess of Cambridge are like siblings ever since she became part of the family six years ago when she wed Prince William.
"There was no filling the hole left by Diana's death, and Harry seemed to be growing up without someone emotionally available he could lean on,'' the story reads.
"Kate has helped fill some of that gap. When she and William got engaged, Harry called her the big sister he never had. He often pops into their apartment at Kensington Palace, where she cooks him a meal — roast chicken is reportedly a particular favourite."
The royals also live right next to each other in Kensington Palace in London – Harry in a two-bedroom cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace, while William and Kate live in 22-room apartment with children, George and Charlotte.
Harry and Kate have also partnered together in promoting charitable causes close to their heart, like Heads Together, which aims to raise awareness about mental health.
In the same interview, Harry also spoke about the emotional trauma he experience after the death of his mother, Prince Diana, and the agony of being forced to walk behind her coffin at the funeral.
He also confessed that no one in the royal family wanted to rise to the throne.
