Royal Wedding: Intimidated by Your In-Laws? Try Marrying Into the Royal Family!

LONDON, April 12, 2011— -- Kate is envied by many, but can you really imagine having royal in-laws?

"I think there's almost a maternal bond between Camilla and the soon-to-be Princess Catherine," ABC News' royal contributor Duncan Larcombe said of Middleton's future-stepmother-in-law, Camilla Parker Bowles. "There's a genuine friendship there."

When William was away on his recent trip to Australia, Camilla and Prince Charles invited Kate to the ballet.

Also, a short while back, Kate and Camilla were spotted lunching together. It was a very long lunch and full of wedding discussions.

A fellow diner heard someone say: "We can't have trumpets, the ceiling is too high."

Sometimes, Prince Charles' wife surprises us all. For example, her reaction to the engagement:

"It's the most brilliant news" Camilla said. "I'm just so happy for both of them. They are so happy. It's wicked!"

Prince Charles, we hear, is also very fond of Miss Middleton.

"I was quite nervous about meeting William's father," Kate said, "but he was very, very welcoming, very friendly, it couldn't have gone easier really for me."

And Charles has been helping Kate with wedding planning.

"You know he's over the moon, actually," little brother Prince Harry said when interviewed by ABC News on his recent partial trek to the North Pole.

"He's had a lot to do with the wedding, which is really really nice. And is so unbelievably busy yet he's managed to make time to help Kate out with the music and stuff like that, the processional music."

"He's obsessed with his music," Harry said. "So the two of them have been slaving away, getting everything right. So it's fantastic, really."

Kate seems like she was born for royalty.
