Princess Catherine shares empowering message on International Women's Day
Catherine, Princess of Wales once again used her platform to raise up inspiring women in communities across the globe.
Catherine, Princess of Wales celebrated the "kindness, resilience and quiet strength" of women to mark International Women's Day (08.03.26).
Alongside a picture of a mother holding her small child, she penned on The Prince and Princess of Wales' Instagram Story: “Today we celebrate the kindness, resilience and quiet strength of women in our families and communities.
“This day is about standing up alongside one another — recognising the loving influence of women, who nurture and hope, encourage others and help make the world kinder and more compassionate.”
The British royal - who has Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and seven-year-old Prince Louis with husband William, Prince of Wales - also paid homage to a handful of inspiring women.
She linked to posts about Iram Siraj, professor of child development and education at the University of Oxford, Hope Ngulube, who used to be a Ranger for the Conservation Lower Zambezi, and author Tracey Ford, who journals with women who have experienced homelessness.
On International Women's Day last year, Catherine paid a special tribute to photographer Liz Hatton, who tragically died at the age 18 from cancer in November 2024.
Catherine - who endured her own cancer battle - made the teen's dream come true meeting the princess, who also has a keen eye for photography.
Catherine's X post read: “Celebrating the strength and creativity of Liz and [her mother] Vicky Hatton.
“It was an honor meeting them both in Windsor in October. Liz's memory live[s] on in Vicky's unwavering resilience. Thank you for such a moving moment #IWD2025.”
And, in 2024, Catherine, 44, and William, 43, posted: “Happy International Women’s Day! Celebrating the impact of amazing women today and every day. Here are just a few of the brilliant women we’ve been inspired by over the past 12 months.”
