Catherine, Princess of Wales
Emotionally affected at performance at Sandringham
Hard days lie behind Catherine, Princess of Wales and Prince William. How much the Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge is burdened by the death of Queen Elizabeth becomes clear when she appears in Sandringham.
On day seven after the death of Queen Elizabeth, † 96, Catherine, Princess of Wales, 40, and Prince William, 40, showed up at the gates of Sandringham. There, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge not only admire the impressive sea of condolence cards and bouquets of flowers, but also speak to the waiting mourners. A sentence by Kate gives goosebumps in particular.
Catherine, Princess of Wales has tears in her eyes
It’s been a week since the Queen died peacefully at Balmoral Castle. A week of absolute state of emergency for the British royal family. Proclamation, processions – and the state funeral on September 19 is still to come. In a first statement shortly after the death of his beloved grandmother, William made it clear what the new Prince of Wales currently looks like. And his wife also mourns the loss of a loyal companion, her role model. No wonder she had tears in her eyes during the service following the coffin procession in Westminster Hall.
Kate: “I can’t read them all, otherwise…”
But the busy schedule is breathing down both William and Catherine’s necks. On Thursday, September 15, the royal couple will make another public appearance in honor of the late monarch. At Sandringham, the Duke and Duchess take turns crouching to read the thousands upon thousands of messages of condolence, but Kate will eventually have to draw the line. Exactly why, she explains to a passer-by, who, according to the “Daily Mail” is called Fran Morgan and is among the mourning crowd.
“I can’t read them all, otherwise I would cry,” says Catherine, Princess of Wales to her and, like William, is impressed by the “overwhelming” sympathy that has been shown to them in recent days. There are rare insights into the emotional life of the royals, which are more popular than ever these days.
