Princess Kate's statement sparks heartfelt message in response

Kate, 42, wrote: "Baby Loss Awareness Week is such an important moment to support those who have experienced the devastation of baby loss.

"Sending love, strength and hope to anyone affected. #WaveofLight".

Alongside the statement, Kate posted a photograph of a candle with a label saying: "Wave of Light", accompanied by the brand, Plum & Ashby.

The brand Plum & Ashby has now issued a heartfelt message in response to the Princess of Wales.

They wrote on the social media platform Instagram: "Thank you to @princeandprincessofwales for helping to raise awareness and for joining us in lighting a candle to remember those babies that left us too soon," accompanied by a white heart emoji.

Kate's new statement came just one week after she made her official return to royal duties.

Last week, Kate joined the Prince of Wales to meet with bereaved family members of the Southport stabbing victims.

It followed the princess's emotional video from September, where she confirmed her chemotherapy treatment had come to an end.

In January this year, Kate was hospitalised for 13 nights following abdominal surgery.

Two months later, the mother-of-three confirmed she had begun a course of preventative chemotherapy.

During the course of Kate's treatment, she made two high-profile outings - one to Trooping the Colour, and the other to the Wimbledon Men's Singles Final.

However, she stepped back from all official duties, with the princess only returning to public engagements last week.

The 42-year-old is being tipped to attend her Christmas Carol Concert in December which she holds every year at Westminster Abbey.

In addition, Kate will likely travel to Sandringham to celebrate the festive season with the Royal Family.
