11 People in Kate Middleton's Top-Secret Squad

James and Laura Meade
James is one of William's oldest friends, but when the prince and Kate went through their breakup in 2007, James was photographed with Kate and so is clearly very loyal to her too. James was also at the church service with the royal family the day after Kate's birthday this year, so it's safe to say that he too was around to help the duchess celebrate her birthday. He and wife Laura are Norfolk neighbors of William and Kate, and James is godfather to Princess Charlotte.
