Wills’ and Harry’s leading ladies never stray far from their princes’ sides.
As their relationships with the royal heirs heat up, Kate Middleton and Chelsy Davy are going everywhere with their Princes — earning them the title of “the royal WAGs”.
The term WAGs (Wives And Girlfriends), is usually reserved for the glamorous partners of high-profile sports stars, but was bestowed on the girlfriends of Wills and Harry by the British press after they sat adoringly on the sidelines while the Princes played polo last weekend.
Palace insiders say the two women have recently become close friends, bonding over the pressure of their high-profile relationships — much to the delight of William and Harry.
“Kate and Chelsy have always got on, but it’s only recently they have become close,” a royal source told the UK’s Sun newspaper.
“They’re not as different as you might imagine,” another insider told the UK’s Daily Mail. “Physically they’re chalk and cheese — maybe because Kate’s willowy and wears more discreet jewellery, she looks classier. But if you scratch the surface, they’ve lots in common.”
Close allies
Sipping wine in the shade of a private marquee, Kate and Chelsy chatted animatedly during the match — with their growing rapport drawing comparisons to the friendship of Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson, during the early days of their respective royal marriages.
