May is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month and last week, Kate Middleton marked the occasion by issuing a statement about the importance of ensuring that pregnant women have access to proper psychiatric care.
Kate noted that this care must be supplemented by support from friends, family, and community.
Generally speaking, powerful people with royal titles tend to get what they want out of life.
In most cases, these dukes, duchesses, lords, and ladies simply make their desires known, and an army of minions begins scrambling about with the goal of making their wish come true.
Most of the recent news surrounding the British Royal Family has been decidedly not good.
Whether you're talking about the Queen's Covid diagnosis or the nauseating Prince Andrew sex scandal, there's no denying that these are very dark times for the Windsor clan.
Prior to the start of Meghan Markle's relationship with Prince Harry, you had probably never heard her name.
Don't get us wrong, she created a rather successful acting career for herself, but the TV landscape is vast these days, and it's easy for a single basic cable legal drama and its attractive cast to escape your notice.
It seems like only yesterday that Kate Middleton was the fresh-faced youngster who first cropped up in tabloids as a potential love match for the world's most eligible bachelor, Prince William.
But believe it or not, Kate hit the big 4-0 on Sunday.
As you've likely heard, there's been a great deal of concern over Queen Elizabeth's health in recent weeks.
The sovereign has canceled several engagements and scaled back her public presence to the point where many are concerned that the situation could be more serious than palace officials are letting on.
Obviously the royal marriage that makes the most headlines these days is that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
(Some say the Sussexes' global popularity was the primary reason that they attracted so much enmity in London, but that's a conversation for another time.)
But in the almost two years that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been living 5,500 miles away from London in a peaceful coastal subdivision near Santa Barbara, CA, it's often seemed as though their rift with the royal family has been progressively getting worse.
Earlier this week, Time Magazine released its list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
The magazine released several editions of this week's issue, each featuring one -- or, in this case, two -- of the movers and shakers who make an appearance on the prestigious list.
And it seems that Prince William and Kate Middleton have accepted that maxim as their guiding principle in their ongoing war with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The people of England are in a state of mourning today.
But this time, their grief has nothing to do with Covid variants, or their Muppet-resembling prime minister, or the fact that even in mid-July, their weather sucks out loud.
While the bad blood between Prince William and Prince Harry might generate more tabloid headlines, the feud between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle appears to be just as intense, if not more so.
The sisters-in-law by marriage made an effort in the early days of Meghan's courtship with Harry, but before long, the tensions between them became insurmountable.
For millions of viewers, it was the television event of the year, but for Meghan it was nothing more than an opportunity to tell her story on her own terms and without interruptions.
