The Prince and Princess of Wales have issued a new message on Thursday evening, just hours after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new appearance in Nottingham. Prince William and Princess Kate took to their official X account to share a new picture of a candle and take part in this year’s Baby Loss Awareness Week.
Wave of Light Candle Shared Online
In the picture, there is a Plum & Ashby Wave of Light candle. The message simply read: “Marking Baby Loss Awareness Week #WaveOfLight.”
Wave of Light is a global event that takes place every year on October 15 at 7pm to mark the conclusion of Baby Loss Awareness Week. It serves as a synchronised, worldwide act of remembrance for all babies who have died too soon due to miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, or infant loss.
Princess Kate’s Personal Message Last Year
Last year, Catherine marked the special day by issuing a personal message of support to people affected by the “devastation of baby loss”. She sent “love, strength and hope” and described the event as “such an important moment”.
The princess’s message read: “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.” It was also accompanied by a lit candle.
Official Campaign Candle for Tommy’s
Luxury home, bath and body brand Plum & Ashby has produced the official Wave of Light campaign candle for Tommy's, the UK's largest pregnancy research charity, each year since 2020 and all profits go to the organisation.
