“It’s been a real honour to speak to all of you, and I think I speak for the whole nation when I say just how proud you should be of your loved ones, and for the sacrifice and the bravery that they’ve shown,” the duchess said. “I’ll certainly be thinking of you this difficult week and will be for many years to come.”
Kate then asked 11-year-old Charlton, from Rhyl, Wales, “Are those your daddy’s medals?” pointing out the three medals that belonged to Royal Marine Michael Taylor, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2010, the Daily Mail reported.
As he said they were, Kate said that was “very special” that he was wearing them.
William also spoke to deployed representatives from the Royal Navy, Army, and the Royal Air Force.
