Exciting new year, exciting new charity to support—at least, that seems to be Kate Middleton’s vibe. The Princess of Wales just signed on as the newest patron of Tŷ Hafan, a Welsh charity dedicated to helping families ensure that children with life-shortening conditions live their best and most fulfilling lives. And to kick things off, she paid a visit to the hospice on January 30, where the photos from the day truly say it all.
Pics show Middleton fully in her element—or the "zone" if you will—smiling, laughing and fully engaged with the children and families. At one point, she painted the hand of four-year-old Maddie, whose sibling is receiving care at the facility. In turn, she got a little paint of her own, thanks to nine-year-old Lottie, another child with a sibling in treatment at Tŷ Hafan. It's hard not to look at picture after picture with a big smile over the joy the princess is expressing and delivering to the children.
