During her visit, the Duchess of Cambridge spoke about the difficulties students in particular had to face during the COVID-19 pandemic as schools and campuses around the world closed to curb spread. Kate shared: “One of the hardest things we’ve all found about the pandemic was breaking up with the people we love.” He continued: “But we also had the opportunity to rediscover how important our families are and how important our friends are.” The Duchess then spoke about the “simple things” that give us joy and are often taken for granted in better times. “I always believe that it’s the simple things in life that bring us the most joy: Playing together, chatting with your friends at school, eating meals together and listening to each other’s stories. “These are the things that unite us and give meaning to our lives,” he said. Kate went on to emphasize the “special” part of school life, saying: “The relationships, relationships and friendships you make during school are so special. Therefore, please take care of them, love them and dedicate time to them “. Kate’s children, 8-year-old Prince George and 6-year-old Princess Charlotte, had to learn virtually from home as schools closed. However, they are now returning to school at Thomas’s Battersea. Kate and William are due to return to England at the weekend as their Caribbean tour concludes with their final stop in the Bahamas.
