Kate Middleton: the drama that moved her to tears. Even King Charles was heartbroken

Kate Middleton was completely shaken by the drama with the nine-year-old boy she publicly introduced as her new best friend. Young Tony Hudgell even received a special award from King Charles.

The baby received the British Empire Medal from the English sovereign, as did other important figures who were awarded by the Royal House over the years. Tony Hudgell, who was just 9 years old, managed to raise at least £1.8 million for the hospital where his life was saved.

Unfortunately, the young man ended up in the care of doctors due to the horrific abuse he suffered at the hands of his biological parents.

Kate Middleton was extremely impressed with the baby's situation. Finally, in 2021, his adoptive mother founded the Tony Hudgell Foundation.

Moreover, the boy's case so shocked the English public that the authorities passed a law bearing his name, increasing penalties for those who commit acts of cruelty towards or neglect children.

The story that made an impression on Britain

Tony Hudgell manages to raise money by walking miles on prosthetics, and after the Christmas holidays he finds out that King Charles is going to decorate it. The young man was very excited and wanted to personally thank the sovereign for his faith in his cause.

And Kate Middleton was very impressed by the case of Tony Hudgell, and since she met him, she has become very attached to the baby. The princess says Tony is a role model for both other children his age and adults. They first met during a Christmas concert in 2021. In December 2023, they met again at Evelina's Children's Hospital in London, where he asked Tony to tell him a story.
