What prompted Kate to make this announcement in this way and when she did?
Kate was, in fact,missing from the royal family’s Easter servicethe week after making her announcement.
Her friend toldThe Sunday Times: “She felt she had to do it because of who she is.

It was more that she knows she is a public figure and has a wider leadership responsibility.”
From the palace’s perspective, then, this announcement is likely considered a job well done.
Camilla told them, “I know that Catherine is thrilled by all the kind wishes and support.”
