The new title echoes the one bestowed on her late mother-in-law Princess Diana. Prime Minister Tony Blair dubbed her the, “People’s Princess,” after her tragic death and it still resonate today.

In 2020 Kate unveiled the results of her significant childhood learning study which is said to be one of her major ongoing projects. Thus it makes sense to refer to her as The Children’s Princess.

Royal watcher and language expert Judi James analyzed Kate’s message saying the direct, ‘stoic’ language used mirrors that of her grandmother-in-law the Queen.

“This very brief message on Kate’s birthday suggests a very responsible and adult approach to the recent crisis.”

“It provides a timely contrast to the current celebrity circuit which is busy treating people in lockdown to photos of expensive beach holidays abroad and the kind of party lifestyle that is out of most of our reach right now.”

“There was no need to use her birthday message to refer to the ‘hugely challenging time’ but Kate has clearly chosen to avoid any hint of personal celebration and adopt more of a ‘We are all in this together approach to her birthday.”
