To ensure the focus remained on the charitable cause and to maintain anonymity, Kate made the donation under a pseudonym, separating her royal status from the act of kindness. The donation was made in support of The Little Princess Trust, an organization dedicated to providing wigs for children experiencing hair loss.
According to a royal insider who shared the story with Mirror, the idea came to Kate during her haircutting session with Joey Wheeler. As Joey was trimming her hair, the thought of doing something meaningful with the hair instead of discarding it struck Kate. She discussed the idea with Joey, who wholeheartedly supported it.
According to the insider, the donation was dispatched under an alias, guaranteeing that the recipient charity remained oblivious to its royal source. "It's heartening to imagine a young girl somewhere joyfully donning a wig crafted from a genuine princess's hair. Kate's gesture is truly touching, demonstrating her thoughtfulness in repurposing hair that might otherwise have been discarded," the source conveyed.
Kate Middleton's involvement with cancer charities is well-documented, and she has met numerous patients through her philanthropic work. In 2021, she had a memorable encounter with 8-year-old Mila Sneddon, a participant in the Hold Still photography project. Following the announcement of Kate's own health challenges, Mila sent a message via the Sunday Mail, expressing her support and encouraging Kate to stay brave and resilient.
