In a speech at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in March 2017, Kate confessed to a lack of confidence. "Personally, becoming a mother has been such a rewarding and wonderful experience. However, at times it has also been a huge challenge, even for me who has support at home that most mothers do not," she said.
The Duchess pointed out there was no rule book, no right or wrong and you just had to do your best. "For many mothers, myself included, this can, at times lead to lack of confidence and feelings of ignorance."
