Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, shared her cancer diagnosis in an emotional recorded speech that marked her return after several months without appearing in public. This message was apparently inspired by the late Queen Elizabeth II’s iconic speech during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Royal experts have highlighted the similarity between Kate’s emotional message and the encouraging words of Elizabeth II, proving that the princess was directly inspired by her grandmother-in-law.
The sincerity and warmth that characterized both speeches were not limited to demonstrating his ability to communicate genuinely and directly, but also his ability to convey hope in times of adversity.
The Princess of Wales, through her speech, shared her personal struggle, but also extended a message of encouragement to those facing the disease, reflecting the same compassion and empathy that the queen showed in her speech during confinement, a time when no one knew what was going to happen.
Comparing the messages, at the same time, reveals similarities in tone and content and also a deep understanding of the importance of keeping hope alive in difficult times. Ingrid Seward, author of the biography of Elizabeth II, has highlighted the importance of this kindness and openness, essential to connect with the public in delicate moments.
Both women, despite their different generations and origins, have demonstrated an incredible ability to encourage people to overcome their difficulties. Queen Elizabeth spoke of better days to come, while Kate assured her audience that she would recover.
On the other hand, Richard Fitzwilliams, speaking to FEMAIL, has explained how the Princess of Wales has emulated the Queen in her ability to make a message addressed to millions of people deeply personal and sincere. To achieve this, according to the expert, she used close references and words that came from her heart.
