Kate Middleton ‘helped save’ Prince William after losing his mother Princess Diana, says royal expert

Kate Middleton has been an influential member of the British royal family.

"I think that Kate has helped save William," British author Angela Levin told True Royalty TV’s "The Royal Beat" on Friday, as quoted by U.K.’s DailyMail. "I think it was very difficult for him coming out of a dysfunctional family, losing his mum so young and I think he was in a very difficult place," she explained. "[Kate] has really encouraged him. Her whole life is to make him happy, I think. She found things that really make him feel important and worthy rather than just going to cut ribbons. I think she has helped him to be a husband by introducing him to her own family a lot and spending time with a normal family and being a dad."
