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.
