The new role marks Princess Kate’s step towards continuing her late mother-in-law’s legacy, who was also a patron of the charity.
“A proud moment becoming Patron of Tŷ Hafan. Opening in 1999 as Wales’ first children’s hospice, @ty_hafan continues to provide specialist care to children with life-shortening conditions, offering vital support to them and their families, throughout life, at end of life, and beyond,” read the caption of the post.
Expressing her delightfulness to have Kate as the charity’s patron, Irfon Rees, the Chief Executive of Tŷ Hafan, stated, “As our Patron, Her Royal Highness will be an inspiration for children with life-shortening conditions and their families, our dedicated staff and volunteers and everyone who so generously supports us.”
She added, “No parent ever imagines that their child’s life will be short. Sadly this is the reality facing thousands of families in Wales. We can’t stop this happening, but together we can make sure that no one lives their child’s short life alone."
Moreover, King Charles himself served as the charity’s patron prior to Kate Middleton’s appointment.
