KATE MIDDLETON

Yes, well I really hope I can make a difference, even in the smallest way. I am looking forward to helping as much as I can.

There's no one quite like William - I bet he's really kind. You can just tell by looking at him.

By far the best dressing up outfit I ever had was a wonderful pair of clown dungarees, which my Granny made.

I think as any mother would be she was absolutely over the moon. And actually we had quite an awkward situation because I knew and I knew that William had asked my father but I didn't know if my mother knew.

Around-the-clock support is crucial for children receiving palliative care. They and their families often need help every hour of every day, both in hospices and at home.

I'm still very much Kate.

I was quite nervous about meeting William's father, but he was very, very welcoming, very friendly, it couldn't have gone easier really for me.

I think, the people around home are very supportive to us.

No, I had the Levis guy on my wall, not a picture of William, sorry.

I find doing speeches nerve wrecking.

Well I think if you really go out with someone for quite a long time you do get to know each other very, very well, you go through the good times, you go through the bad times. You know both personally, but also within a relationship as well.

I have learned that delivering the best possible palliative care to children is vital, providing children and their families with a place of support, care and enhancement at a time of great need is simply life-changing.

I think I know I've been working very hard for the family business, sometimes those days are long days and I think if I know I'm working hard and pulling my weight, both working and playing hard at the same time, I think everyone who I work with can see I am there pulling my weight.

First-class delivery of children's palliative care is life-changing. When families are confronted with the shattering news that their children have a life-limiting condition, their world can fall apart.

Actually William wasn't there for quite a bit of the time initially, he wasn't there for Freshers Week, so it did take a bit of time for us to get to know each other but we did become very close friends from quite early.

It's obviously nerve-wracking, because I don't know the ropes really, William is obviously used to it, but I'm willing to learn quickly and work hard.

I hope we will be able to have a happy family ourselves.

I don't know if I have a favorite color.

If any of us caught a fever during pregnancy, we would seek advice and support from a doctor. Getting help with our mental health is no different - our children need us to look after ourselves and get the support we need.

William and I feel that every child deserves to be supported through difficult times in their lives.

We have heard time and time again in the course of our work how talking can help heal the hidden challenges we can't deal with alone.

Some children are tackling tough times without the support that can help them because the adults in their life are scared to ask.

You go from thinking of yourself as primarily an individual to suddenly being a mother, first and foremost.

We hope to encourage George and Charlotte to speak about their feelings, and to give them the tools and sensitivity to be supportive peers to their friends as they get older.

I can remember being at Sandringham, for the first time, at Christmas. And I was worried what to give the Queen as her Christmas present. I was thinking, 'Gosh, what should I give her?'. I thought, 'I'll make her something.' Which could have gone horribly wrong. But I decided to make my granny's recipe of chutney.
