The Queen’s Heartwarming Surprise for Kate Middleton and Prince William’s Anniversary

As the milestone of a decade approaches since and exchanged vows at Westminster Abbey, the Queen is said to be preparing a special gesture to honor the Duchess of Cambridge.

Back in 2019, on the couple's 8th anniversary, the Queen bestowed upon the prestigious title of Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order as a token of her highest approval for her services to the Sovereign.

Now, as the royal couple's 10th anniversary draws near, the Queen is contemplating another significant honor for Kate to acknowledge her dedication to the monarchy.

According to royal expert Duncan Larkham, it is highly probable that the Queen is planning a secret surprise to commemorate Kate's remarkable 10 years within the Royal Family.

Their relationship is described as fantastic, with Kate adeptly balancing her public role as a member of the Royal Family while maintaining a warm connection with the Queen as the great-grandmother to her children.

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Kate and the Queen have maintained a close bond, with the Duchess having direct communication with Her Majesty to provide updates on her children – George, Charlotte, and Louis.

Interestingly, it is believed that Kate played a pivotal role in teaching the Queen how to engage in video calls, enabling the monarch to stay connected with her great-grandchildren during times when physical visits were restricted.

Through her royal engagements, the Duchess of Cambridge has championed causes close to her heart, particularly focusing on early childhood development.

She has also represented the monarchy on trips to the Commonwealth and worked alongside her husband, , and to raise awareness about mental health.

In a recent gesture of gratitude, Kate expressed her appreciation to NHS staff for their unwavering dedication, particularly highlighting a touching moment where a nurse comforted a dying patient by playing Bon Jovi at his bedside.

During a video call with nurses from the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, Kate listened to their stories and commended their efforts amidst the challenges of the pandemic.

One nurse shared the heartwarming account of playing Bon Jovi for a patient whose wife couldn't be present in his final moments, leading to a lighthearted exchange with Kate.

The call took place from the Queen's Sandringham Estate, where she and Prince William have been based during the lockdown period.

This temporary arrangement, facilitated by the Queen, allowed the royal couple to continue their work remotely while adhering to safety measures.
