What's happened to Kate?

Pressure to be the perfect mother to baby George pushes her to the brink.

The highs and lows of motherhood are taking their toll on the Duchess of Cambridge, whose exhausted appearance is worrying her inner circle. Last week, Kate even told one friend she had only had “six hours of sleep in the last three days – combined”.

And a succession of tough challenges have left her emotionally drained, begging Wills to make drastic changes in their lives – including a move away from Kensington Palace.

“Baby George is the centre of her universe and she loves him more than life itself, but she’s finding him to be harder work than she ever imagined possible,” one of Kate’s closest friends tellsWoman’s Day.

“She isn’t getting a wink of sleep because George cries constantly and she always wants to be there for him herself.”
