Engages with public through touching messages and social media presence
Catherine, Princess of Wales, has earned the affectionate title of ‘The Children’s Princess’ thanks to her ongoing commitment to charitable causes and her heartfelt engagement with the public. Despite a challenging year, she has remained dedicated, connecting with people through social media posts, emotional videos, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into her work.
During Baby Loss Awareness Week, Catherine shared a touching message on X (formerly Twitter), offering her support: "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." The personal note was signed simply 'C,' resonating deeply with the public.
Royal expert Jennie Bond praised Catherine's modern approach to communication, noting how her messages are making a significant impact. “This is such an effective and modern way of using her influence,” Bond said. She also commented that Catherine’s use of social media feels more relatable compared to the formality of traditional palace statements.
Catherine's focus on mental health and child development has been a cornerstone of her charitable efforts. She became a patron of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance (MMHA) in 2022, advocating for women’s mental health and emphasising that no mother is "immune to anxiety and depression." Her work highlights the importance of providing timely support to mothers facing perinatal mental health challenges.
Through her advocacy, Catherine has demonstrated her deep care for the well-being of families, further solidifying her new title as ‘The Children’s Princess’ among her supporters.
