PRINCESS Kate has a new “modern way” of staying relevant and connecting with fans, according to a royal expert. The Princess of Wales , 42, took a step back from royal duties this year as she underwent preventative chemotherapy, but made an effort to support her charitable causes. Recently, Kate shared a message in connection with Baby Loss Awareness Week.
In a post on X, previously Twitter , she wrote: “Baby Loss Awareness Week is such an important moment to support those who have experienced the devastation of baby loss. Sending love, strength and hope to anyone affected.” She signed the personal note off with a “C” for a personal touch.
