Princess Kate wins praise for practising what she preaches

Princess Kate spoke from the heart as she delivered an emotional plea on behalf of all parents during her red carpet appearance alongside Prince William. 

The Princess of Wales dazzled as she attended the Royal Variety Show on Wednesday in London.

At the event at Salesforce Tower in London, Kate, 43, spoke passionately of 'valuing time and tenderness just as much as productivity and success,' and how profitability and 'having a positive impact ' on employees 'lives were not, and should not be,' incompatible.' 

'Everyone of you interacts with your own environment; a home, a family, a business, a workforce, a community,' she said.' 

Following Kate's thought-provoking comments, former royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror that Princess words were particularly impactful and came from a deeply personal place..'

'I admire Catherine for practising what she preaches,' Jennie says. I am sure she fully understands the pressures that exist for many working parents and means every word she says. 

'She is a hands-on -mum as she can possibly be and she has encouraged William to be a full-on dad. Obviously they are both incredibly privileged to have some choice in the matter and they have taken a fair bit of flak for doing things like ring-fencing school holidays as family time. 

'But Catherine believes passionately that these early years in her children's lives are by far the most important and formative.'

However, the future Queen enjoyed a night of glamour, watching show topping performances after the summit.
