Kate Middleton shares rare message about her royal work amid cancer battle

the Princess of Wales, 42, posted a message on her and husband Prince William’s official social media accounts to congratulate TV presenter Dwayne Fields on becoming the new Chief Scout of Scouts UK.

In 2020, Princess Kate became joint president of the organization, working alongside the late Queen Elizabeth’s cousin, Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent.“Delighted to welcome @DwayneFields as the new UK Chief Scout,” the Princess wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “The Scouts is such an incredible organisation, teaching #SkillsForLife and making a huge difference to young people across the country.”“Looking forward to working with you!” she concluded.The future queen and king, 42, are both known for their sign-off on social media posts where they use the initials of their first names as shorthand to distinguish which messages come directly from them.

This time, the blurb came from Kate, who wrote “C,” which stands for her full name Catherine.The philanthropist also reposted the Scouts’ video on X, in which Fields reflected on how the scouting group has impacted him since he got involved at age 7. “Born in Jamaica, Dwayne came to the UK when he was 6 years old.

Growing up in North East London in Stoke Newington, with little access to nature, Scouts offered Dwayne access to the outdoors, new friendships and opened new horizons,” a statement read Friday.The announcement explained how the organization gave Fields “skills, belief in himself and place to belong” when he became a Cub Scout as a young boy.“Through his determination and support from his Scout volunteer leaders and friends, he set himself on a path to become the first Black Briton to reach the North Pole,” the statement continued.
