The Duchess of Cambridge helped save Prince William after leaving his “dysfunctional family” by making him “feel important and worthy,” according to a royal expert.
Angela Levin, author of Harry: Biography of a Prince, told True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat that the 38-year-old Duke of Cambridge found himself in a “ very difficult place ” after seeing his mother, Princess Diana, aged 15- years old.
The young prince also witnessed his father, the Prince of Wales, and his mother’s very public breakup of their marriage before they split in 1992.
Ms Levin claimed that Kate, 39, who married William at Westminster Abbey in London on April 29, 2011, “really encouraged” the Duke and “devoted her whole life to making him happy.”
She added that the mother of three “helped William to be a husband by” introducing him a lot to her own family and spending time with a normal family and being a father. “

Speaking of the Duke and Duchess’s upcoming 10th wedding anniversary and the strength of their relationship, Ms. Levin said, “I think Kate helped save William.
“I think it was very difficult for him to come out of a dysfunctional family, lose his mother so young and I think he was in a very difficult place.
She really encouraged him. Her whole life is to make him happy, I guess. She found things that made him feel really important and worthy, rather than just cutting ribbons.
“I think she helped him to be a husband by introducing him a lot to her own family and spending time with a normal family and being a father.”

This week, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continued their commitments and sympathized with apprentice nurses, telling them that starting an internship in a pandemic must have been a ‘baptism of fire’ during a video call on Tuesday.
Prince William and Kate spoke to young men and women from Ulster University to learn more about their experience studying during the pandemic and about the front lines of the Covid-19 response in Northern Ireland.
As three students stood around a doll in a bed while assessing the fake patient, Prince William said, “It’s very difficult for you guys to get into a pandemic right away, I think. That is really the baptism of fire. ‘
“I imagine it’s been totally crazy and really hard to find your feet… with your head on fire all the time.”
This week, Prince William and Kate spoke to nursing students at Ulster University via a video call to learn more about their experiences studying during Tuesday’s pandemic.

“It’s scary,” said one of the third years, Elizabeth Semerdzhieva. While it was scary at first, now you really want to go out more. You can’t wait to get out of it in practice and feel like you’re helping. We were born for that. ‘
Kate, who paired a smart blazer with a crew neck top, added: ‘Nursing is one of the most trusted professions in the country. You couldn’t have chosen a better career choice. It is needed now more than ever.
‘You now have nearly three generations – the ones coming back from retirement, and you guys who are on your education who are training – it shows real dedication and real teamwork, and it really should be celebrated, done so well.’
The Cambridges also spoke separately with Abigail McGarvey, a freshman adult nursing student, who said to them, ‘It’s not ideal, and it’s a shame you have patients when they can’t see their families, and there have been some who have been in it for months. hospital, have no one else to talk to except us.

“But that’s part of the job and that’s what makes it so much fun because they don’t have the emotional support from their family that they would have received. It is really important that we are there for them.
‘We are there when they have a bad day. We are also there when they have good days. It is very nice to be there for them. ‘
She added that her grandmother, mother, and sister were all nurses and commented, “I couldn’t really escape it.”
Abigail kept a video diary to illustrate a typical shift during her first internship as a student nurse.
The images show her getting up for a night shift, traveling to work and donning personal protective equipment (PPE) from a mask, apron, gloves and visor – later donning high-quality protection for working with Covid-19 positive patients .

William asked if her training in a pandemic had changed her mind about becoming a nurse, and the student replied, “It really confirmed that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life – this is the job I was meant to do. ‘
Abigail continued: “My first day in the ward, I showed up and within hours there was a severe cardiac arrest.
“And just seeing everything go up in the air, and how the team comes together, and how everyone is really working to take care of these patients – it really confirmed that this is exactly what I want to do.”
Ranked in the top 50 nursing schools in the world, Ulster University’s School of Nursing has approximately 1,600 registered students.
At the start of the pandemic in March 2020, students were asked to join the front lines.
Student placements were adapted to the needs and demands of the health service, with the majority of students being placed in COVID-19 areas, both in the hospital and community.
