Kate Middleton: Talks Tots And Christmas Plans, And Continues To Impress In Wales And Beyond
During an exciting visit to Wales, after which Kate Middleton and Prince William discovered their adventurous side with a little zip-lining outing, the Duchess of Cambridge shared in regards to her excitement for the upcoming holiday season.
During the visit, Kate was asked about the family’s plans and Kate relayed that George is beginning to “talk about Christmas and Princess Charlotte is getting on well with her ‘noisy’ big brother.” Although Kate shared that she looks forward to the festive season with her hubby and little ones, she admits that the planning has yet to begin. The Mail recounts the Duchess’ words on her planning and her tykes.
“I haven’t started yet. [George and Charlotte] are doing really well, thanks. Charlotte is getting bigger.”
The royal couple spent their time visiting with a few of the members at the center, one including Mr. Maddocks, who joined a year ago after being widowed. The elderly and friendly man offered Kate and William a gift he had made earlier at the center, to take home to William’s “Grandma.”
The Duke laughed and responded spiritedly.
“Well we have got lots of Christmas gifts to give out, so maybe.”
Kate and William made a wonderful impact on those who they stopped in to visit. Mr. Maddocks was not shy about expressing his joy and delight at meeting the young royals.
“It means everything to us having the kids here today. There is so much excitement.”
The CEO of the Vale Center later spoke in regards to the importance of the support their foundation offers troubled men of all ages, also noting the great appreciation they feel for garnering the support of royals, Prince William and Kate Middleton.
“Every day in the UK 13 men take their own life. We have seen here the power of friendship and shared understanding and being able to bring people together. [Kate and William] are shining a light on the millions of people who experience mental health problems and people who are struggling to get the right kind of support.”
Kate Middleton has been an active supporter of a plethora of children’s charities and has recently began to use her voice to be an advocate for the causes she stands behind. It is wonderful that she and William are offering their support and helping to shed a light so brightly on the somewhat overlooked difficulties that men face, in regards to mental health.
It has been reported that the Duchess has been brushing up on her public speaking in order to be able to express her reasons for standing behind each charity and initiative that she does. Often looked on as a royal simply in the spotlight as a fashionable bit of smiling beauty on William’s arm, Kate is now determined to show that she has a voice and that she is more than an image.
Since becoming a mother to two adorable little ones, Kate has also discovered the importance of a healthy diet. She, as Marie Claire notes, is reportedly in the process to begin her own organic food business.
A fire has certainly been lit under the Duchess as of late, and she’s proving that she is more than just a wearer of haute-couture fashions.
