Prince William and Princess Catherine have been through a lot in 2024, but their willingness to shine through the darkness and fulfill their duties as humanitarians has been recognized in a recent Hello! Magazine article.
According to the outlet, the Prince and Princess of Wales were voted as the two kindest members of the Royal Family in two of its most recent polls. Prince William's recent dedication to being more empathetic while serving the public is an example of how the royal's kindness guides the way he approaches his endeavors. However, there are lesser known moments that confirmed William and Catherine's love for the people around them.
Lending an ear to those in need at their most vulnerable point
Prince William and Princes Catherine's tendency to spend a lot of time in public is well noted. However, the couple also spends time with individuals who are struggling with chronic illnesses and personal tragedies.
In its article, Hello! Magazine includes multiple stories about Prince William and Princess Catherine's visits to hospitals, charities, and social events that serve a higher purpose. In one story, Princess Catherine spent time with a child named Tony who had his legs amputated after suffering from abuse. Instead of giving him a single visit and photo opportunity, the Princess of Wales developed a real relationship with Tony and became invested in his development and plans for the future when he grows up.
In a different example, it was revealed that Princess Catherine made an unscheduled appearance to surprise a 17-year-old photographer named Liz Hatton while she was photographing Prince William. This double dose of royal kindness gave Liz an experience she wasn't expecting, as she thought the Prince of Wales was the only royal she'd be seeing that day.
Of course, we can't forget William and Catherine's efforts to ensure their children understand the importance of treating the environment with the sensitivity it deserves. The Prince and Princess of Wales definitely practice what they preach, and we can expect Princess Catherine to give even more to the public once she becomes re-acclimated to her usual working schedule.
