Amid ongoing royal controversies, Prince William has relied heavily on Kate Middleton, who continues to support him and the wider family.

Insiders note her influence in guiding the future king through challenging moments, including handling concerns about former Prince Andrew’s role.

The couple recently attended a service at Canterbury Cathedral for the installation of Dame Sarah Mullally, the first woman to lead the Church of England, highlighting Prince William’s connection to faith and royal duties.

Kate Middleton Seen As The Royal Family’s ‘Steady Hand’ Amid Ongoing Challenges

Insiders claim Prince William has been leaning heavily on his wife, Kate Middleton, for support.

According to In Touch, a source noted that Kate has “always been his steady hand,” a role she’s played since their early days together.

“Even back in their university days, she was the voice of reason, always pushing William to think of the bigger picture and his role within the monarchy,” they added.

That dynamic hasn’t changed. The source points out that during her recent health struggles, Kate “was the one holding everything together and supporting William while he was struggling to process it all.”

Kate Middleton ‘Rarely Says No,’ Causing Those Around Her To Worry That She’s ‘Carrying Too Much’

Now that Kate is in remission, those close to her are growing concerned.

They feel the future queen may be taking on too much, especially as more members of the family turn to her for guidance and support.

The insider adds that it’s no longer just William depending on her; Kate has increasingly become the “go-to person” others rely on, including King Charles III.

“The thing with Kate is she rarely says no because she loves to be of service, which is a beautiful quality, but it also means she runs the risk of burning herself out,” the source explained. “Everyone agrees she’s incredibly capable. They just worry that she’s carrying too much.”

Prince William Pressed For Action Against Ex-Prince Andrew Long Before Titles Were Stripped

One of the challenging moments Kate is seemingly guiding the royal family through is the current scrutiny plaguing the monarchy due to the former Duke of York, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s connection to the late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

The future king and queen were recently heckled during a royal outing over Andrew’s shocking arrest, with an insider telling People Magazine, “Other events have rocked the monarchy, but something from within — where someone is being arrested — is very different. This is much more serious.”

However, long before King Charles officially removed Andrew’s royal titles last year, William is said to have expressed serious concerns about his uncle’s place in the family.

In his new book, “William and Catherine: The Monarchy’s New Era: The Inside Story,” author Russell Myers details William’s stance following Andrew’s controversial 2019 BBC interview regarding his Epstein ties.

Sources revealed that William urged his father and Queen Elizabeth to take decisive action, believing that Andrew should handle the fallout on his own.

One insider said that William reportedly “never much liked his uncle and wanted him out of the picture immediately before the rot further set in.”

Prince William And Kate Middleton Attended A Historic Service For The First Female Archbishop Of Canterbury

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, March 25, William and Kate attended a historic service at Canterbury Cathedral, celebrating the installation of the first woman to lead the Church of England.

William represented his father, King Charles III, upholding the tradition of the heir appearing at key royal ceremonies.

The service marked the formal investiture of Dame Sarah Mullally as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury.

Arriving just ahead of the service, the Prince and Princess of Wales were welcomed by Lady Colgrain, the Lord Lieutenant of Kent, before joining the congregation and participating in the ceremony, including singing hymns during the procession.

For the occasion, Kate wore an elegant Suzannah coat complemented by a wide-brimmed hat by Juliette Botterill.

Earlier, the couple had met Mullally at Lambeth Palace in February, shortly after she was named Archbishop-elect in October 2025, with her appointment officially confirmed in January.

Prince William’s Faith In Focus During Historic Canterbury Cathedral Service

The appearance also sheds light on William’s personal relationship with faith. While he does not attend church as regularly as his father, Charles III, or his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, insiders say William remains committed to supporting the church in his own way.

One source explained to The Sunday Times that for William, this event “is a drawing of a line in the sand of where he’s at, and it’s really important that it [the question over his commitment to the Church] is cleared up.”

They added: “His feeling is, ‘I might not be at church every day, but I believe in it, I want to support it, and this is an important aspect of my role and the next role, and I will take it very seriously, in my own way.”

Following their February meeting, Mullally spoke warmly about the pair, expressing shared hopes for a better future and noting that she would continue to hold them and their family in my prayers.”

Jury Duty is expanding with a new season — but where is the original cast now?

The comedy premiered on Prime Video in 2023 and followed a group of prospective jurors going through the selection process and civil trial. Most of the cast members were actually actors except for one participant, who was unaware that everything was fictionalized.

Ronald Gladden was a contractor who answered a vague Craigslist ad to participate in a documentary about jury duty.

“I was just under the impression that this was going to be a behind-the-scenes look … or what it was like for jury duty,” he recalled to Access Hollywood in April 2023. “So, I signed up for what I thought was a documentary. I didn’t really know what was going on until the end.”

In addition to Gladden, the show featured James Marsden, Mekki Leeper, Edy Modica, Ishmel Sahid, David Brown, Cassandra Blair, Maria Russell and Kirk Fox. Susan Berger, Ross Kimball, Pramode Kumar, Ron Song and Brandon Loeser also appeared.

Season 2, which premiered in March 2026, follows Anthony Norman, who is hired at Rockin’ Grandma’s Hot Sauce as a temp while unaware that the company is fake.

The TLC series, which aired from 2015 to 2020, is no longer available to view on HBO Max as of Friday, March 27. Additionally, The US Sun reported that the show has also been pulled from Discovery+.

Former Counting On star Joseph Duggar celebrated his family in a series of Instagram messages posted four years before his arrest for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old Joseph, 31, and his wife, Kendra Duggar, started an Instagram account for their family in February 2019 but stopped updating it in November 2021. Their final post was published […]

Counting On served as a spinoff to 19 Kids and Counting following its 2015 cancellation amid Joseph’s brother Josh Duggar’s molestation scandal. (Josh was accused of molesting five underage girls, four of whom were his sisters, when he was a teen. In 2021, Josh was arrested for receiving and possessing child pornography. He was found guilty and sentenced to 12.5 years in prison the following year. Josh has since made numerous attempts to appeal his sentence, which have all been denied.)

The series followed the lives of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s older children as they began their own families. Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn-Grace and Josie all made appearances.

Joseph and wife Kendra Duggar were featured on Counting On as they began their courtship. During season 6, Joseph asked Kendra’s father, Pastor Paul Caldwell, for his permission to propose. The couple wed one month before the episode aired in October 2017. Joseph and Kendra share four children: Garrett, Addison, Brooklyn and Justus.

News of Counting On’s removal from streaming platforms comes after Joseph was arrested in Arkansas for lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older.

A victim, now 14, claimed that she experienced “several instances of sexual abuse” with Joseph when she was 9 years old. The alleged incidents took place while on a family vacation with the Duggars in Panama City Beach, Florida, back in 2020.

The girl alleged that Joseph “asked [her] to sit on his lap, numerous times” and asked her to “sit on the couch beside [him].” She also claimed that Joseph would cover them with a blanket, where he allegedly touched her inappropriately. She shared that Joseph later “apologized for his actions,” claiming that “the incidents stopped occurring” following the apology.

Joseph was arrested after the victim’s father called the reality star to confront him. During the call, during which police were on the line, Joseph allegedly admitted his actions to the father and to Tontitown detectives. He appeared in court virtually one day after his arrest and did not enter a plea. Joseph, who waived his right to an extradition hearing, is awaiting extradition from Arkansas to Florida.

Shortly after his arrest, Kendra was booked and taken into custody. She and Joseph were both charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, second degree and four counts of second degree false imprisonment. Kendra was released after paying a $1470 bond.

A spokesperson for the Duggar family told Us in a statement, “[Kendra’s] is a misdemeanor charge totally unrelated to the Florida case.”

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau prove they are still going strong — and don’t feel their ages — with a recent date night snap.

“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” Perry, 41, captioned a series of Instagram photos on Friday, March 27.

The caption appeared to be tailored to Perry’s first picture of the couple out to dinner. In the photo, Perry and Trudeau, 54, are both holding up their phones to show their “biological ages” after taking a quiz together.

The “Roar” singer’s result revealed that she is 33.1 years old, which is more than eight years younger than her calendar age. Trudeau’s number was 43, 11 years younger than his real age.
