Kate Middleton Was in the *Zone* Today at Her Latest Outing—and I Can't Stop Smiling at the Pics
Exciting new year, exciting new charity to support—at least, that seems to be Kate Middleton's vibe. The Princess of Wales just signed on as the newest patron of Tŷ Hafan, a Welsh charity dedicated to helping families ensure that children with life-shortening conditions live their best and most fulfilling lives. And to kick things off, she paid a visit to the hospice on January 30, where the photos from the day truly say it all.
Pics show Middleton fully in her element—or the "zone" if you will—smiling, laughing and fully engaged with the children and families. At one point, she painted the hand of four-year-old Maddie, whose sibling is receiving care at the facility. In turn, she got a little paint of her own, thanks to nine-year-old Lottie, another child with a sibling in treatment at Tŷ Hafan. It's hard not to look at picture after picture with a big smile over the joy the princess is expressing and delivering to the children.
Richard Pohle -It's no shocker that the Princess of Wales is throwing her support behind Tŷ Hafan. She's been a longtime advocate for organizations focused on children and families, and her enthusiasm for this role was clear in her social media post celebrating the news.
"A proud moment becoming Patron of Tŷ Hafan," she shared. "Opening in 1999 as Wales' first children's hospice, @ty_hafan continues to provide specialist care to children with life-shortening conditions, offering vital support to them and their families, throughout life, at end of life, and beyond."
Richard Pohle -Tŷ Hafan was just as excited to welcome her into the fold sharing their own post about the special visit.
"We are delighted to share the exciting news that Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales has today become Patron of Tŷ Hafan Children's Hospice," the organization wrote. "The announcement was made as part of a visit to Tŷ Hafan this morning when we welcomed Her Royal Highness to our hospice, where she spent time with children, families, and staff."
Richard Pohle -They went on to highlight just how impactful Middleton's involvement will be. "As our Patron, Her Royal Highness will be an inspiration for children with life-shortening conditions and their families, our dedicated staff and volunteers, and everyone who so generously supports us. No parent ever imagines that their child's life will be short. Sadly, this is the reality facing thousands of families in Wales. We can't stop this happening, but together we can make sure that no one lives their child's short life alone."
