On International Women’s Day, March 8, 2026, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, paid tribute to the “kindness, resilience, and quiet strength” of women around the world.
In a heartfelt message shared on the official Instagram Story of the Prince and Princess of Wales, she accompanied her words with an image of a mother cradling her young child. “Today we celebrate the kindness, resilience, and quiet strength of women in our families and communities,” she wrote.
Princess Catherine has marked International Women’s Day
Catherine emphasized the importance of standing together in solidarity, recognizing the significant roles women play in nurturing, inspiring hope, and encouraging others, contributing to a kinder and more compassionate world.
The British royal, who shares three children—Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7—with her husband, William, the Prince of Wales, also took the opportunity to honor several inspiring women who have made a difference in their communities and beyond.
The British royal – who has Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and seven-year-old Prince Louis with husband William, Prince of Wales – also paid homage to a handful of inspiring women.
She linked to posts about Iram Siraj, professor of child development and education at the University of Oxford, Hope Ngulube, who used to be a Ranger for the Conservation Lower Zambezi, and author Tracey Ford, who journals with women who have experienced homelessness.
On International Women’s Day last year, Catherine paid a special tribute to photographer Liz Hatton, who tragically died at the age 18 from cancer in November 2024.
Catherine – who endured her own cancer battle – made the teen’s dream come true meeting the princess, who also has a keen eye for photography.
Catherine’s X post read: “Celebrating the strength and creativity of Liz and [her mother] Vicky Hatton.
“It was an honor meeting them both in Windsor in October. Liz’s memory live[s] on in Vicky’s unwavering resilience. Thank you for such a moving moment #IWD2025.”
And, in 2024, Catherine, 44, and William, 43, posted: “Happy International Women’s Day! Celebrating the impact of amazing women today and every day. Here are just a few of the brilliant women we’ve been inspired by over the past 12 months.”
