It cannot be denied that Kate Middleton loves children. She supports causes that involve kids, patrons some of them, like Place2Be, and celebrate Children's Mental Health Week. However, Prince William's wife admitted that there is a downside in being a parent at the recent 73rd British Academy Film and Television Arts Awards.
As the royal couple met some of the night's winners, the Duchess of Cambridge opened up about having three active and curious kids. When talking about films with Michael Ward, who won in the rising star category, the Duke of Cambridge made a joke about the number of movies he needed to watch in the run-up to the ceremony to know all the nominated actors, directors, and films.
Amid the talk, Kate Middleton reportedly chimed in about the difficulties of doing this task, while having three kids around. "Having children is so bad for watching films!" she said, via Express.
Anyhow, the Cambridge kids, Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis, 19 months old, made a quick appearance in a video for the celebration of Place2Be's Children's Mental Health Week. Kensington Palace released a clip on Instagram Stories, showing Kate Middleton performing her royal duties for her patron.
The video shows Kate Middleton at Gilwell Park in Essex in March and when she tried to do kayak with Prince William on a trip to Northern Ireland in February. The words for this year's official theme of the celebration, "Find Your Brave," flashed up in between clips.
In a statement, Hello! Magazine noted Kate Middleton encouraged the young people to open up about their mental health. She said that for many kids today, the world could feel a "scary and daunting place." "While we might not always feel brave inside, even the smallest act - such as sharing a worry or asking for help - can be incredibly courageous," she added.
Kate Middleton understands that helping kids to feel confident about asking for support can have a "transformational impact on their lives." She then adds that having the ability to try new things and push themselves outside their comfort zone are the important skills that can build children's "resilience and self-esteem."
If the kids manage to learn these skills early in life, it can help children to cope with future challenges that come in adulthood. Kate Middleton then reveals that Place2Be's ambition is to bring out positive, lasting change for generations to come, asking schools and family to join the celebration to help kids and young people to find their brave.
