Kate Middleton coos over newborn baby during virtual chat with parents

The Duchess of Cambridge has made a virtual bedside visit to new parents during a video call to midwives she worked alongside last year.

Kate chatted to Rebecca Attwood and John Gill with their baby Max nearby, and when she was told the infant had been born the night before, the royal said: "My goodness, you must be exhausted."

Midwives told the duchess the coronavirus outbreak had left some mothers suffering from anxiety, concerned about catching Covid-19.

During another video call with experts from the sector, the duchess raised concerns about new parents, saying they should "reach out and ask for help" if they need it.

When she discusses the situation with the women, she is letting them answer and give their opinions! She is a listener and isn't constantly looking at the camera. There is genuine compassion for the situation that comes across honestly. There is alot of hate in the comments that is just lashing out by dysfunctional and disconnected marginalised people. These comments are unreasonable and promote hate!

I notice every time Harry and Meghan put up a video or do something positive, William and Kate comes back and does the same thing. Prince Harry just did a video call with families of children vulnerable to COVID-19 4/15/20 ; and now Prince William did a video call to share a virtual roundtable with mental health charity 4/16/20 on Instagram.

I see Meghan Markle made a Surprise Video Call to Smart Works Client Before Interview on 4/30/2020. And now Kate Speaks to NHS Staff & Parents About Challenges of COVID19 on New Families on 5/3, /2020. It is clear that Will and Kate have no originality and they are trying really hard to keep up with everything Harry and Meghan does. This is so shady.

Kate Middleton has gone right down hill since becoming a royal.

Come back Cromwell and let's get rid of all these "Jolly Hockey Sticks" and self loving Royalty.

Leave her alone just because she is a princess doesn't mean you should take the piss
