"I joined you in London in 2019, and by that point it's safe to say my life had changed pretty significantly. I was now married and I was now a mum," the Duchess said and she was forced to pause as the crowd clapped and cheered. She continued: "My world view had expanded exponentially, seeing the global community through the eyes of my child."

She candidly wrote: "In June, my husband and I welcomed our second child. Like any parents, we were overjoyed. Like many parents, we were overwhelmed.
"Like fewer parents, we weren't confronted with the harsh reality of either spending those first few critical months with our baby or going back to work. We knew we could take her home, and in that vital (and sacred) stage, devote any and everything to our kids and to our family."
