It’s there too Kate Middleton in the list of candidates including Time will choose its Person of The Year 2024. The magazine has already identified the CEO of the year (Lisa Su) and the athlete of the year (basketball player Caitlin Clark) and now there is great anticipation for the most representative character of 2024. The Princess of Wales made the shortlist for having sparked a «public debate on privacy and health for public figures», reports the magazine, which has been “electing” the character of the year since 1927.

English and they didn’t want to know. Did they have the right, because the princess is a public figure, or was it more her right, like anyone else’s, to protect herself and her family regardless of her role?
The British, for whom privacy is an inalienable right despite there being no law that mentions it, were satisfied with knowing that the princess was being treated, but abroad the attention was decidedly more morbid.

Whatever way you think, Kate Middleton would seem to have a good chance of being “elected”, perhaps not so much for the public debate, but more for her messages of resilience (a very overused word but in this case more than fitting). The last, the best, arrived at the beginning of last September, with the announcement of the end of chemotherapy: «To all those who are continuing their journey against chemotherapy cancer: I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. From the darkness can come light, so let that light shine», the touching and heartfelt words of the princess.
Kate Middleton really made an impact on people during 2024, because with her words she became a symbol, a patient like all the others who entrusted herself to treatment hoping to get well. There is no fight against cancer, you cannot fight against something that does not depend on your will, but there can undoubtedly be empathy, the kind capable of binding unknown people who find themselves in the same storm. And this was very clear in the princess’s last message, because without hypocrisy Kate described cancer for what it is: “Complex, scary and unpredictable.” And it was this sincerity that brought her closer to the world like never before.
