Kate’s message of ‘love, strength and hope’ to those affected by baby loss

The Princess of Wales has issued a personal message of support to people affected by the “devastation of baby loss”.

Kate, in a post on Kensington Palace’s social media, said she was sending “love, strength and hope” as she marked Baby Loss Awareness Week on Tuesday.

The princess, who has been slowly returning to a light programme of public duties after finishing her chemotherapy treatment, described the annual remembrance and awareness event as “such an important moment”.

Her message read: “Baby Loss Awareness Week is such an important moment to support those who have experienced the devastation of baby loss.

“Sending love, strength and hope to anyone affected. #WaveofLight.”

It was signed “C” and accompanied by an image of a Plum & Ashby Wave of Light candle as part of the global Wave of Light at the end of the week, which ran from October 9-15.
