Kate Middleton talks about the importance of nurturing and loving children
Kate Middleton has just delivered an emotional message about love, children and their well being, which needs to be prioritized.
The speech has been delivered at The Future Workforce Summit, which is being hosted by The Royal Foundation Business Taskforce for Early Childhood.
According to Hello! she said, “My passion and the work of The Centre for Early Childhood stems from one essential truth; that the love we feel in our earliest years fundamentally shapes who we become and how we thrive as adults.”
“Love is the first and most essential bond,” she also said. “But it is also the invisible thread, woven with time, attention and tenderness, through consistent, nurturing relationships which creates the grounded and meaningful environments around a child.”
“It is this texture, the weave of love, which forms a child’s emotional world and becomes the foundation, the very fabric of resilience and belonging,” she added.
Becuase “the home should be the space where love, safety and rhythm enable a child to thrive. A loving home ultimately teaches us how to love and how to care, but every environment has the potential to shape our hearts. Every one of you interacts with your own environment; a home, a family, a business, a workforce, a community. These are the ecosystems that you yourselves help to weave. Imagine a world where each of these environments were built on valuing time and tenderness just as much as productivity and success.”
The royal also went on to say, “as business leaders you will face the daily challenge of finding the balance between profitability and having a positive impact. But the two are not, and should not be incompatible. At The Centre for Early Childhood, we believe that we must do all we can to create the conditions for love to flourish.”
Before concluding Kate also highlighted, “that is how we invest in our future. Every child deserves respect and safety, and everyone who cares deserves recognition and appreciation. Every act of care creates community because we are all essentially weavers of the same fabric. I believe in restoring the dignity to the quiet, often invisible work of caring, of loving well, as we look to build a happier, healthier society. You are here because you care, so thank you.”
Ex-Prince Andrew facing humiliation after leaked email to Jeffrey Epstein.
As revealed by Radar Online, the message, sent in February 2011, appears to contradict Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s claims that he had cut ties with Epstein.
The email included sign-off from Andrew, who reassured Epstein that they were “in this together” as the scandal surrounding photo of the ex-Prince with accuser Virginia Giuffre intensified.
While King Charles is said to be “horrified” by the revelations, Prince William reportedly views Andrew’s behaviour as “unforgivable.”
This fallout has intensified political pressure in the US with Rep. Nancy Mace publicly calling for investigation into Andrew’s ties to Epstein. She wrote on social media, “Now seems like a good time to discuss prosecuting Prince Andrew for any and all potential crimes on U.S. soil.”
“A cold dark cell. Prince Andrew in handcuffs. This is an image sending the right message,” she added.
- Four HC judges make verbal queries about post-retirement benefits.
- Seek details of when pensionary benefits will become due.
- Two of four judges to become eligible for pension next month in Dec.
ISLAMABAD: Following the controversial 27th Constitutional Amendment, empowering the Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP) to transfer high court judges across provinces without their consent, fresh indications have emerged that as many as four high court judges may be contemplating resignation.
Well-placed sources told The News that these four judges have recently approached their respective high court’s accounts department to seek detailed information regarding their post-retirement entitlements.
Their queries, all made verbally, relate to pensionary benefits, the exact dates on which such benefits become due in two of the cases, the status of their accumulated leave balances, and the depreciated value of the official vehicles currently in their use if they opt to purchase them now.
According to sources, these inquiries have triggered strong speculation within judicial circles that the four judges — already understood to be on the government’s list for transfer after the passage of the 27th Amendment — are actively weighing the option of stepping down instead of being reassigned to new provinces or regions.
Two of the four judges will become eligible for pension sometime in next month- December 2025, leading to uncertainty over the timing of any decision. “If they choose to resign, it is still not clear whether the resignations will come immediately or after they qualify for pensionary benefits,” a source said, adding, “Even if they do resign, there is no clarity on whether they will proceed collectively or one by one”.
The development comes amid reported government plans for judicial reshuffling following the 27th Amendment, which government circles argue is necessary to address the conduct of certain judges who, in their view, have “brought disrepute” to the judiciary.
Others, however, believe that the 27th amendment has badly dented the independence of the judiciary and in such a situation, it is difficult for the “independent minded” judges to continue.
Although the Judicial Commission of Pakistan is constitutionally empowered to appoint and transfer judges, in the present constitution of the JCP government appears to be an advantage.
