Prince William, Kate Middleton and Their 3 Kids Reveal Holiday Card
Kate Middleton is expressing her gratitude for all that life has to offer.
The Princess of Wales—who is mom to kids Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, with husband Prince William—shared a moving message in honor of Christmas, reflecting on the ups and downs of the past year.
"At a time when life can sometimes feel fragmented or uncertain," she shared on ITV's holiday special Royal Carols: Together at Christmas on Dec. 24, "the Christmas season invites us to remember the power of reaching out to one another with generosity of heart, understanding and hope."
Kate—who announced in January that she's in remission from cancer—went on to thank the public for "the warmth you have given and the kindness you have shown and the quiet, constant light you bring to others."
"The time, care and compassion you give, often quietly and unspoken and without any expectation or recognition, make an extraordinary difference to the lives of others," the 42-year-old continued. "As the year draws to a close, I hope this season brings you moments of peace and clarity and that you too feel surrounded by the same love and care that you offer so freely."
"At its heart, Christmas speaks of love taking form in the simplest, most human ways," she said. "Not in sentimental or grand gestures, but gentle ones: a moment of listening, a word of comfort, a friendly conversation, a helping hand, presence. These simple acts of care might seem small, but they contribute to the beautiful tapestry of life to which we all belong."
Kate added that in her view, "Christmas is a time that reminds us how deeply our lives are woven together. Just as the roots of trees share strength between the soil, unseen but vital, so too do we. We are drawn by an instinctive pull towards belonging and connection."
