Princess Kate on Facing Anxiety and Making a Public Comeback
Even the poised and composed Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, experiences nerves before significant events. Known for her grace under pressure—having had her wedding day watched by around 20 million people—Kate recently admitted to feeling anxious before the King's Coronation, as reported by Mirror.
She expressed her determination to remain outwardly calm while managing her pre-event jitters internally. While the spotlight was on the new monarch, Kate emphasised that the day was also about family. She shared this insight during an impromptu walkabout with her husband, Prince William, and King Charles outside Buckingham Palace, surprising royal fans gathered along The Mall.
In a chat with a well-wisher in London, Kate shared how her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, were feeling about the upcoming Coronation, revealing that they were all "excited" but also "a bit nervous" about the big day. "They're really well, thank you," she said, describing their mixed feelings of excitement and nerves.
When asked how she and William were feeling, she said, "All good. Hopefully a bit like a swan, relatively calm on the outside and paddling on the inside." She added about King Charles, "I'm sure looking forward to it as well. It's nice to be out here saying 'hello' to everyone who has stayed out for so long."
After a 173-day absence due to abdominal surgery and cancer treatment, the Princess made a radiant return to public life by joining the Royal Family at Trooping the Colour earlier this summer. Her comeback continued to delight fans when she appeared in regal purple at the Wimbledon men’s singles final on July 16.
In a surprising move, she attended the tournament with Princess Charlotte, where they enjoyed watching the match between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
