Kate Middleton and Prince Philip ’s warm relationship has been on display ever since the Duchess of Cambridge joined the British royal family in 2011. When at royal family events and engagements, Prince William ’s wife and the Duke of Edinburgh were often photographed laughing and exchanging smiles. In a personal statement released a few days after Prince Philip’s death, the Duke of Cambridge gave insight into his “extraordinary” grandfather’s relationship with Kate.
