The Princess of Wales made a major appearance in Wales this week – and a leading royal expert has explained why the visit made her priorities very clear
The Princess of Wales continued her gradual return to work in a surprise solo visit to South Wales this week – and one thing became very clear for a royal expert.
On Thursday Kate, 43, dropped into Tŷ Hafan, a hospice for youngsters near Cardiff, in what is her first trip to Wales since her cancer diagnosis and treatment and her first solo ‘away day’ outside of London. Tŷ Hafan – which translates from Welsh to ‘Haven House’ in English – helps to provide free care and support to children with life-limiting conditions and their families and is the first children’s hospice in Wales.
It was a day which focused on some of her most significant passion projects – but if there was one takeaway, it was that it is the princess, 43, who will orchestrate her return to public life as she still has a bigger job to focus on – motherhood.
Standing firm on this subject is something which former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond praises as she tells The Mirror : “I’m sure if you asked Catherine what her most important role in life is at the moment, it would be ‘being a mum’. She adores her husband, but her children are the centre of her world and she has thrown herself into bringing them up in what must be a rather confusing environment for a young mind, as normally and lovingly and securely as possible.
