Part 2/7:
The princess’s choice to focus on themes of love and empathy is a poignant reflection of the challenges that have marked this past year. Her husband, William, has already shared sentiments about the year being particularly brutal for their family. The princess herself echoed this sentiment when she admitted that this year has been far from what she had planned, stating, “I didn’t know this year was going to be the year that I just had the unplanned.” Such honesty shows her awareness of the struggles many have faced amid their personal challenges.
