Kate Middleton is one of the most talked about women in the world, making viral news with everything from her fashion statements (hello Kate Middleton effect) to her public appearances.

(sound on) From the very first series of the podcast I've always named The Duchess as my dream guest, so to be presenting this to you today is utterly incredible. We talk about her passion for early years, and the reason for her being so drawn to the sector. We talk about the survey and how much she wants to hear from the public about their aspirations for future generations. And then we talk about her own experiences as a mother, including her use of hypnobirthing, the mum guilt and the juggle, as well as her hopes for her children. It's a delightful chat and I can't wait to hear your thoughts. Listen here: https://podfollow.com/1277078956/episode/ef0d225173f525ab37490e8727eacad4344adfaf (link in bio) Happy listening!

Yes, from opening up about her severe morning sickness to her experience with mum guilt and the ‘terrifying’ photo call on the Lindo Wing steps, these past few weeks have been all about Kate.

In fact, some people credit the Duchess of Cambridge and her relatable nature with keeping the royals afloat in the past few months of drama, from the Prince Andrew scandal and Harry and Meghan's departure to the multiple royal divorce announcements.

Kate is undoubtedly entering a new phase of speaking candidly and the public certainly seems to be on board.

'I think for Kate, hearing her in a space she felt confident to speak very openly was refreshing,' HeirPod host and royal expert Omid Scobie explained. 'I think for Kate, hearing her in a space she felt confident to speak very openly was refreshing. I feel like she exposed herself in a way that we haven't seen before. I think this is a great new phase that we're seeing the Duchess of Cambridge in now.'

He continued: ‘We actually had a chance to speak with Giovanna at a Kensington Palace listening session. She herself was blown away by just how candid Kate was in that conversation. She told us that she'd never heard Kate speak so openly in this way before. Today marks the end of her survey which she has been promoting and getting many people of the UK involved in. I think there have been well over 200,000 participants in this. Kate herself has said this is her most important project yet. This is a lifelong project that will take her far into the future, certainly for the next decade.'

Well, that’s that.
