Kate Middleton’s ‘wrenching’ heartbreak she keeps hidden during royal duties

Princess Kate is widely admired for her grace and charm while carrying out royal duties, whether engaging with people at official events or representing the crown on demanding overseas tours. However, a royal expert has revealed that there is an emotional challenge she faces during these trips.

Author and royal expert Katie Nicholl, who has accompanied the Prince and Princess of Wales on several tours, shared that Kate finds it especially difficult to be away from her three children—Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6—for extended periods during her travels.
