A Christmas Surprise for Scouts as Kate Pops in "Unannounced"
A Christmas Surprise for Scouts as Kate Pops in "Unannounced"
@ Daria - Last night is a good example of why the director at the center for developmentally delayed mentally handicapped children said - " I would hire her tomorrow!"There are times when I SWEAR that we share a brain . I get what you're feeling, because I feel it too. It's knowing that someone in her position would see your worth by taking the time to learn, and help children learn what it's like to work with a exceptionality.
You can tell that she cares, and like her husband, she'll be the voice for those of us that get lost in the crowd, because people don't want to take the time and open their hearts. I wish more people that work in the special education field would take a leaf out of her book.
You said it! And she's a natural at hand-over (or under)-hand assistance. As I've said for years, the woman would be a gift in a special ed classroom.

I was at a job interview today, and it was for a TA position in a special education preschool. There were so many kids who would benefit from working with someone like Catherine. The director is very hands-on, and kids love him. I can definitely picture Catherine in that environment.

It is a wonderful cause. Good luck on the job. It takes a special person to work with special needs children, but educators change the world.I was at a job interview today, and it was for a TA position in a special education preschool.

So can I! Love that! Hope the job works out! Was it the school Kate visited?
Keep me posted!

And Daria is one of the most special people I know!
Is it part of a public school district or a private institution? Good luck Daria.
This is great. Love to see what they will do with it in the future. Makes me happy to hear about this behind the scenes work.PA Royal Reporters @PARoyal · 23 mins 23 minutes ago

#royalfoundation is looking at ways to support hospices for children with life threatening illnesses. Kate is patron of @EACH_hospices
I agree. That + new PR person that actually knows how to do the job!these very well may be the types of engagements she has been doing all along 'behind the scenes' and because of the recent criticism of her lack of activities, they are now being announced the day of in the court circular; not photo ops but part of her job.
nice job from the KP press office.

I agree. The other royals show it in the CC, so ofc should hersWhich is for the best. People should know about the work Catherine is doing behind the scenes. Information about her charitable meetings, lunches and outings should be known and accounted for in the CC.

Exactly. That's so true.The royals do so much behind the scenes, but when it's not highlighted and reported on, it causes the media and others to question what the royals do when they're not on public duties. Then you end up reading those "lazy" headlines. I think in-depth royal documentaries and specials helps in this department.
Exactly. It would have been totally inappropriate. Maybe a simple photo taken by a parent, but nothing more than that!I think there are no photos because of the situation: they are children with mental issues and such. It would be inappropriate and unconfortable I think, for the children to have cameras on them....
I agree. Just using the words meeting, charity meeting etc would be better. And add that no pictures will be released. Instead of using the word private which prompts the "If it's private how come we know about it, they just want PR"-comments.There are no photos because it was a private engagement. Royal watchers should be used to this. Private meetings, briefings etc happen every day. Just take a look at the Court Circular. They usually take place inside their offices (like today) but can take place elsewhere.
It would help if KP didnt use the word "private"
Catherine looks so lovely, and happy. She's glowing. It's delightful to see her so hands-on, and painting with the children.
