Kate was named the sponsor of the vessel in 2021. Just a year later, Kate met Royal Navy sailors from HMS Glasgow at Windsor Castle to hear about the ship's progress and their experiences in the Royal Navy. During the ceremony today, she smashed a bottle of whiskey against the ship's hull as part of a tradition dating back to the 1800s. Queen Victoria is believed to have been one of the first people to take part in the custom, when she broke a bottle of champagne on the hull of HMS Royal Arthur. After the ceremony, which officially launches the ship, the royal couple will board the vessel and meet with representatives from UK defence manufacturer BAE Systems. The Prince and Princess will also visit the BAE Systems' shipbuilding academy to meet apprentices and graduates and hear about the shipbuilding and maritime training the students received. The students are taught an incredible range of skills, which were used to build the boat, including craft trades like fabrication, sheet metal work, welding, and pipe fitting. The event will end with the future King and Queen meeting a employees from BAE Systems, who have a wide variety of skills, trades and backgrounds before meeting the ship's company and their families. William and Kate made headlines just days ago when they hosted a lavish garden party in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. The Princess met with the family of a 17-year-old photographer named Liz Hatton, who had sadly passed away after a battle with cancer. Kate had met Liz whilst being treated for cancer herself and shared a warm hug with the photographer. Liz's parents have created a charity called Capture to support those with Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour, in their daughter's honour. Speaking about Liz, the princess said: "She really made the most of everything. I loved her creativity all the way through. "If you need any help fundraising, maybe I can help. Please stay in touch, really." Kate has opened up about how her own battle with cancer left her struggling to navigate "stormy waters and roads unknown". Meanwhile, Will was struggling with his own grief surrounding his mother's death while working to support their children. He revealed it was the "hardest year" of his life. A close friend told The Sun: 'Last spring and early summer, things were really very tough. Catherine was very ill and William genuinely had to confront the possibility that he could lose his wife and his father [who has also been battling cancer]. 'Keeping things as normal as possible for the 'kiddies', as Catherine calls them, was paramount. Her mum in particular was a tower of strength and support.'

Inside Kate Middleton's inseparable bond with 'pa' King Charles By Richard Palmer THERE was a time when King Charles complained he rarely saw Prince William and his family, but these days Back in early 2015, some friends of the royals were saying that the then Prince Charles was unhappy because his elder son and wife never brought their toddler son Prince George to see him. The couple, it was alleged, were much closer to Michael and Carole Middleton. But there is no doubt that the monarch and Queen Camilla are closer to the Prince and Princess of Wales these days. The family's rift with Harry and Meghan has helped to bring them closer, according to some insiders, and the King and Kate's dual cancer diagnosis and treatment at the same time has deepened their bond. Kate has always been the steely one, holding the family together but has had to find strength during her chemotherapy treatment from the love and support that her husband, children, and other relatives, including notably her father-in-law, have provided. In January 2024 when they both found themselves in the same hospital, the London Clinic, for operations the King went to see his daughter-in law. He was in for an enlarged prostate and she was there for planned abdominal surgery. It was a small gesture, one perhaps not so surprising, but it demonstrated their closeness in a world of royalty where family members worry that visiting sick relatives can be disruptive for the medical staff because everything tends to stop if the monarch comes calling. When they both discovered they had cancer in the aftermath of surgery, Charles and Kate supported each other, according to well-placed sources. As The Sun revealed shortly afterwards, when the right time finally came in March, the King went to see her for a heart-to-heart conversation over an 'emotional' lunch at Windsor Castle the day before she released a video announcing her cancer diagnosis to the world. In public, the affection in which Charles holds his daughter-in-law was plain to see when he installed her beside him on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the traditional flypast after Trooping the Colour in June 2024, her first public appearance since her diagnosis. It is all a world away from the impression that is sometimes given of a cold, austere family hidebound by hierarchy and tradition. In the warm embrace of their family, both the King and the Princess have found a bond that has sustained them through what has been a dark period in their lives.

Kate dazzles in colour of season as she makes surprise appearance at royal party
The Princess of Wales has stunned in the shade of season as she attended her first Buckingham Palace garden party in two years. Kate surprised guests by joining husband Prince William for the event this afternoon who is hosting on behalf of his father, the King. It is the first garden party that Kate has attended in since 2023 after missing last year's events as she was in the middle of her cancer treatment. The princess, whose attendance was not announced in advance as is the custom for garden parties, was dressed in a butter yellow Emilia Wickstead dress and hat by Philip Treacy. Joining them for the party, were Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, as well as William's non-working royal cousins Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall, with Kensington Palace saying the prince and princess had specially invited the younger generation of the royal family to accompany them. At the party today, both William are Kate are meeting guests from a number of both their patronages, military affiliations and passion projects including Homewards, Action for Children, Ty Hafan children's hospice and tenants across Duchy of Cornwall sites. Also in attendance are the family of Liz Hatton, a teenager who met William and Kate last year, just months before she passed away from cancer. Her mum Vicky, stepdad Aaron and her younger brother Mateo have recently created a charity called Capture, to support those with Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour, in Liz's honour. Other attendees included Holocaust survivor Steven Frank, who was photographed by Kate in 2020 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust, and fundraising youngster Tony Hudgell. Ten-year-old Tony, who is a double amputee and previously met Kate at the Evelina London Children's Day Surgery Unit, missed a garden party last year after getting stuck in traffic on his way there, prompting another invitation from the Palace this year. Kate last appeared at a royal garden party in May 2023, just days after the King's coronation when the social event was staged in celebration of the historic occasion. Today some 7,500 guests mingled in the spring sunshine on the neatly manicured lawn of the royal residence on Tuesday, as William, Kate and other members of the royal family stood on the West Terrace for the National Anthem. The official engagement marks another step in Kate's gradual return to post-cancer public duties. Garden parties have been held at Buckingham Palace since the 1860s when Queen Victoria began what were known as 'breakfasts', although they took place in the afternoon. Guests queue in tea tents and take their seats on nearby chairs, and around 27,000 cups of tea, 20,000 sandwiches and 20,000 slices of cake are consumed at each party. Yeomen of the Guard, dressed in their red and gold ceremonial costumes, form part of the proceedings, and people are free to stroll around the vast expanse of the gardens while a military band plays background music.
