Almost every girl dreamt of being a princess when they grew up. And though she is often called the Duchess of Cambridge and not Princess Kate, Kate Middleton is every inch a princess.
So a little girl from the East Anglia Children's Hospice could not help but ask Kate the question of what it was like to be a princess. Vanity Fair reports that Middleton answered the girl, a four-year-old named Daisy, that she was fortunate to be "very well looked over by her husband."
Kate has been a patron of the charity, located in Norfolk since 2012. The little girl was there with her mother Michala Benton, and her sister Isabella, who makes use of the facilities in the hospice. She apparently suffers from epilepsy.
Michala Benton was the one who told reporters about Middleton's response to her daughter's questions. She also commended the Duchess who talked about her own children, George and Charlotte and how they like to run off in different directions, much like any other kid.
The service manager for the hospice praised Kate Middleton for her compassionate nature which made people more at ease with telling their stories to the royal. She, like her husband Prince William, make it a point to crouch when talking to children, so they see eye to eye.
Daily Mail reports that the Duchess of Cambridge also comforted a family whose five-year-old son died from an inoperable brain tumor. Finnbar Cork was cared for at the East Anglia's Children Hospices until he died on August 2016. Kate hugged the family members and shared how she could not imagine what it was like to go through their ordeal.
The hospice, which Kate has been supporting for a while, offers several services not just for children but their parents as well. They can get nursing special care, therapy, and counseling. The hospice has been opened since 1991.
