May writes a letter to Kate Middleton
So. There you were. All alone on a bench. Luckily, a beam of light brushed over your cheek. What you wanted to say you had thought of yourself. And the day before you saw your father-in-law still. How bizarre are the twists of life that you both now find yourselves in the same boat. I have watched your video six times because I found your words so beautifully chosen and because I thought it was so brave of you to decide to sit there alone. William by your side wouldn't have been bad, but you just did it alone. Of course, everything had been thought through. About the outdoor setting, about your clothing, about your words where you, oh so chic you are, didn’t throw a little jab at all those people who speculated about something as trivial as that photoshopped photo, but instead focused on all those who have supported you so much during this time. What struck me most was something you might not have thought about: your right eyebrow. Just a bit higher than the left, a little more arched too. Not noticeable, but there was care behind it. Care for yourself, but especially for your man. It has been so much lately. Where you were the straight back that everyone seemed to lean on, you now need to take a pause. You radiated strength and confidence. In your words, your voice, your eyes. There was just something that sent a different signal and that was your hands, dear Kate. Strongly intertwined as if they wanted to support each other. Sometimes flying out to emphasize your words and then quickly back in your lap. Seeking comfort, finding warmth.
You say you will use the coming period to recover and regain your strength. For your young family, for William, for your role as future queen. But dear Kate, you forget someone in this list: for yourself. I hope we leave you in peace.
With strength and love,
May
