During the virtual meeting, the Duchess of Cambridge explained that she and Prince William, 37, had to change not only their way of working, but also their everyday family life. Both Prince George, six, and Princess Charlotte, five, have not been to school since March and are taught at home. Kate's and William's youngest offspring Prince Louis turned two in May.
"We all have our ups and downs, especially when things change in our lives, as they have changed in so many ways lately. This can lead to a wide range of different feelings," said Kate to the students.

In the ten-minute video, the triple mother admitted that it was an unusual situation for everyone: "It was a really difficult time for all of us. But it is important to know that these feelings and frustrations are completely normal and that they are not forever will stop. " Kate and the other royals, such as Prince Charles, 71, and Duchess Camilla, 72, have been providing video calls and online visits to the public since the pandemic began. It is particularly important to her that social contacts continue to be maintained during this time, said Kate.
The Duchess relies on social contacts
In the video, the mother of three gave advice on how to maintain social contact even during the pandemic and motivated them to be friendly and helpful. "Talking to someone, be it a friend, family member, or teacher, is something you can do to make you feel better." And further: "And you can also do your part to help others feel better. Be it that you give others a friendly ear or help someone in need," said Duchess Catherine.
On Twitter, students, teachers, and parents shared the video, which was later shared on YouTube, and thanked Kate for the warm words that provided consolation during this difficult time.
