Princess Kate Middleton stepped into the spotlight last month with a heartfelt revelation about her health. Despite her soft voice and calm manners, that was a moment of raw, unfiltered truth. And make no mistake, this honest video took a lot to make due to The Princess being inherently shy.
On March 22, the world paused to listen as the Princess of Wales, with incredible strength, shared her personal battle with cancer. Yes, Kate is the definition of elegance and poise, but a shy woman with her own worries lies within.
According to Sally Bedell Smith, a voice well-versed in royalty matters, this video was a testament to Kate’s character, which she defines as “sincere, dignified, poised, and forthright.” Overcoming her shyness might have taken a lot, but The Princess of Wales did justice to her own feelings and advocated for others, saying “You are not alone.”
Undoubtedly, Kate’s journey from undergoing abdominal surgery in January to the daunting path of preventative chemotherapy, proves that no matter how quiet or shy a person might be, they can still be strong and resilient. Revive this moment by clicking the video below:
