Kate, the Princess of Wales, marked another milestone in her return to public duties after announcing her cancer diagnosis, delivering her first public speech in over two years. Kate delivered a speech Tuesday on a topic close to her heart, early childhood.

BBC News was hit by a backlash over its live coverage of the princess' visit to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, England, on November 11, during which a presenter said: "We'll take you to the arboretum in Staffordshire, as we said there, Kate Middleton attending that ceremony. Let's have a listen in."
