Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has recently been dealing with a “very sad situation,” according to a family friend. This comes after the death of her antenatal guru Christine Hill, who was a significant support to Kate during her pregnancy with Prince George. Hill was known for her antenatal classes and advice to expectant parents, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and her passing at the age of 74 has been a source of sadness for the couple​​​​.

Despite the personal challenges and the attacks from Prince Harry in his autobiography, Kate has been praised for her strength and resilience by those close to her. She has been focusing on her work and duties as part of the Royal Family, with a source noting that she wants to move on and focus on her responsibilities. Recently, the Princess has made some senior appointments to her PR team, which is seen as part of her plan to redefine herself in her role within the Royal Family​
