Kate Middleton made a poignant visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where she had previously received cancer treatment. The Princess of Wales was widely praised for her compassionate interactions with current patients, showcasing her ‘exceptional care, support and compassion’ over the past 12 months.
In an exclusive interview on Mail+’s YouTube show Palace Confidential, Daily Mail’s Royal Editor Rebecca English revealed that Kate’s approach to engagements is a masterclass in how to be a royal. “She didn’t go into the hospital and say this is my story, this is about me,” Rebecca said. “She wanted to hear about other people.”
Rebecca also highlighted the contrast between Kate’s visit and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent volunteering efforts during the LA wildfire crisis. While they were praised for their efforts, some have labeled their approach as a ‘disasterclass’. Richard Eden, Daily Mail’s Diary Editor, argued that they proceeded with their Netflix series despite the Queen’s failing health, causing heartache for the Royal Family.
The Palace Confidential show also discussed how the Royal Family is seen by the public and whether they should be given guidance on when to visit areas of devastation. Charlotte Griffiths, Editor at Large of the Mail on Sunday, stated that Kate’s visit was a “real masterclass” on how to be a royal, while Jo Elvin questioned why Harry and Meghan were given guided tours of the LA wildfire area.
The episode also touched on William and Kate’s decision not to visit the Southport area following the stabbings incident last July. They later met with victims’ families, emphasizing the need for sensitivity in such situations. Rebecca emphasized that there is a distinction between the Royal Family’s role in times of good and bad, and how they are expected to show their support during difficult times.
Kate’s visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital demonstrated her commitment to empathy and compassion, showcasing the true nature of the British Royal Family.
