The Duchess of Cambridge highlights a 'dramatic increase' in parents feeling cut off from support.

Families without a garden have had a much tougher time than has been recognised, she says.Parents feeling isolated

It shows separation from family, friends and support networks during the lockdown taking a heavy psychological toll on parents of young children - with 63% reporting feelings of loneliness, compared with 38% before the pandemic. It meant looking after her son in their flat while suffering from Covid, with her mother helping by dropping round food.

"Mentally and emotionally it's been really hard," she says, with parents isolated from their friends and family while children have also been desperate to play with their own friends."There's not been enough focus on kids in the lockdown and how it has affected them. It was like cabin fever," says Rebecca.The research launched by the Duchess of Cambridge says parents have neglected their own well-being, with only 10% taking time to think about their own mental health.

This discussion is so important! Thank you Kate

Lockdown can be especially hard on new parents. As the support just isn't there for them. However if in doubt speak to your midwife or contact friends or family via phone. Get the support DontSufferInSilence

She is so amazing 5BigInsights

She calls it lockdown, I call it an average Tuesday.

She's certainly not a lonely parent with all her butlers, maid, cleaners, gardeners, nannies and chauffeurs. IvoryTower

Not just lockdown issues but the research highlights day to day issues too. Well done, no one else seems to care and the government sure doesn’t do why shouldn’t we encourage this. As a person of privilege she’s using her platform for good.

This comes from the results of her early years surveys she’s been conducting this year with her team. 500,000 people have spoken, these are THEIR thoughts. 👏🏽

In 2035, Cyprus will be a Muslim majority. Sweden in 2125. France in 2135. Greece in 2135. Belgium in 2140. Bulgaria in 2140. Italy in 2175. Luxembourg in 2175. U.K. in 2180. Slovenia in 2190. Switzerland in 2195. Ireland in 2200. Lithuania in 2215. This doesn’t include illegals.

Well she can go KensingtonRoyal I have no tolerance for self serving virtue signaling elitist eugenicists. Plandemic

Surely we should focus on the joy experienced in having children instead of always looking at the negatives.

Kate who?

Really? Who would have thought?

are you the vigilante man?

How can parents be lonely? Aren't kids around and dad / mom? Didn't read the article. Feels depressing for no reason.

me myself and I

How does she relate enough to give out warnings? What advice can she give?

How does she know? The arrogance is beyond belief

Your headline should say 'Duchess of Cambridge' - not 'Kate'

Wow, did she think that up all by herself? Thanks for that, entitled cow can bore off along with the rest of the royal spongers. And before you all start talking about the royal grant, blah blah blah, they still live in massive palaces, with staffs of hundreds, by birthright. FU.

Well done to The Duchess of Cambridge, biggest study into early years thats ever been done ❤👏👏

Correct

Her 10 servants can keep her company.....

500,000 respondents. The largest ever study in Early Years. Working on this behind the scenes for 3 years. She is talking about the report results- not her opinion.

No ones listening the royals and the BBC are ‘crimin//S of humanity

How the f would she know

this is terrible news

Good old golden Kate. Has to get back in the limelight ...🙄

Who is Kate?

What will she know about ”loneliness” did she ever experience it to talk about it...

How would she know ? given that she lives in a palace 🤔

Not just parents

🙄🤦‍♀️

I think Kate gets it. The problem is that the government don’t. Can Kate ask her mum-in-law to dissolve parliament ?

Everyones lonely

Oh please.....

Loneliness is way overrated 👴🏾

Can always rely on the caring nature of social media to shine through .....the state of some of the responses on here........

Most workers prefer to work flexibly rather than return to offices. r4today wfh

I remember, the first day back at school after holidays/vacations.. the Peace, the Quiet, the Sanity. Now not only do we not have those moments, but duct tape is looking real good, and lack of adult conversations.. if you are a parent, you know exactly what I mean.

I'm so sad for her. At least she has all that money to keep her warm.

You got the wrong spouse ...

Yup. The struggle is real.

Kate who? Who the hell is Kate? Some random called Kate saying something is not news

Any support for Meghan and Harry............

Kate...call me. 🤙

If Boris had responded directly to the virus, it would never have come to this

No one likes her and her rude, snobbish ways. Acts like an ice queen. She was jealous of Meghan's star power, and plotted against her. She had no credibility with anyone on any subject. America loves Harry and Meghan.

Even Tory MPs are criticising Boris Johnson's authoritarian Covid restrictions. Direct quote from Graham Brady: 'the policies have been far too authoritarian. I think they have interfered in people's private and personal lives in a way which is unacceptable'. Boris is a tyrant.

Is she furloughed ?

As a mother of a mid April baby I totally relate!

For those having an affair, I'm sure it's a logistical nightmare. 😂

How about the loneliness of people living alone?

we've had enough. no more lockdowns. no more. just stop this madness. the government is trying to justify the previous ones by doing them again and again.

No doubt, but many people have not even got close to another person all year.

Part of the pedo protecting grifting crew so she can do one.

I seen mine daily. Fuck lockdown.
