Kate Middleton mourns the loss of ‘close acquaintance’ who helped during her pregnancy

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, has mourned the passing of Christine Hill, the antenatal teacher who guided her through her first pregnancy. Hill, who was 74 years old, had a close relationship with the Cambridge family and played a crucial role in preparing Kate and Prince William for the birth of their firstborn child, Prince George.

Christine Hill was more than just a midwife to the royal couple. She was an antenatal expert who had established a strong bond with Kate and William during their prenatal classes. In an interview with The Telegraph, Hill described Kate as a “charming woman” and expressed her admiration for the couple’s solid relationship.

The former first-time parents visited Hill on multiple occasions to attend her prenatal classes, which helped them prepare for the arrival of their firstborn. Hill’s expertise and guidance were invaluable to the couple during this significant life event.

Her passing on July 14th has deeply saddened the Cambridge family, who valued her contributions and the close connection they shared during Kate’s first pregnancy.

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, experienced challenging pregnancies due to a condition known as hyperemesis gravidarum. This condition causes severe nausea, leading to dehydration and vitamin deficiencies. According to reports from Newsweek, Kate had to be hospitalized in 2013 before the birth of Prince George due to the effects of this condition. Similarly, during her pregnancy with Princess Charlotte, the Duchess had to cancel several official engagements as a result of hyperemesis gravidarum. Despite the complications, Kate has emerged as a devoted mother to her three children, but her pregnancies were undoubtedly arduous experiences.
