Kensington Palace also released heartwarming photos of her visit to a London hospital’s maternity unit.
She adds of her experience, “No matter the setting, I was continually struck by the compassion that those of you I spent time with showed, and the incredible work ethic you demonstrated on behalf of your entire profession—not only performing your rounds but working tirelessly through the night to support people that were at their most vulnerable.”
The new year will see Kate dedicate an even larger amount of her work to the early years—the period of development between pregnancy and the age of five—including announcing new large-scale projects that combine her years of research. “The Early Years are more critical for future health and happiness than any other moment in our lifetime,” she writes.
Before informally signing her letter with her first name, Catherine, the duchess shares a quote from founder of modern nursing Florence Nightingale, who was born exactly 200 years ago next year. It reads, “I attribute my success to this: I never have or took an excuse.” That's the mantra Kate has continuously seen with the midwives she's met, she adds.
