The Duchess of Cambridge can be heard speaking in the video below. It is not often that people get to hear the duchess speak. In the clip she can be seen on the steps of the Natural History Museum telling her audience how delighted she is to be back at the Museum to announce the winner of the “Wildlife Photographer of the Year” award on Tuesday night.
Last week, we were able to see her three children speak for the first time in public. Prince George (7), Princess Charlotte (5) and Prince Louis (5) asked Sir David Attenborough questions about animals and the video resonated well with especially the British people who were speculating about their accent. Linguists pointed towards an Estuary accent – especially In Prince George.
Ever since the corona pandemic we got to hear and see the British royals more because especially Kate and William took part in a number of video calls to support their organizations and to reach out to the British people. With that, Kate and William become more relatable and reachable than before. Gone are the days, in which royal watchers and Britons got to see only static pictures of them. Hearing them speak, of course, is a new dimension. It’s also the occasions that make a difference. The Cambridges really do interact with their counterparts in the video calls. They answer their questions, laugh with them and ask back. This is a major step towards modernizing a rather formal and distanced monarchy of the past.
William and Kate truly live up to their expected roles – to lead the monarchy into the future!
