Kate related: Even her voice is perfect. GAH!

[amberlyrose]

She did a video recording for Children's hospice week and I don't think I've ever heard her voice.

I'm sure doing children's hospice visits would be hard on anyone but doing it pregnant would be so much harder, I think.

Also, she's wearing her pregnant nun dress, @lucyhoneychrch !

I saw this video earlier and thought of LHC as well.

Her voice is deeper than I thought it'd be. Not that she's got a man-voice or anything, I just expected it to be a little higher.

A few of the Kate/royalty blogs I follow are doing a fundraiser to celebrate her baby, and the donations will benefit the children's hospice that has Kate as its patron. There are some nice giveaways, too: whatkatewore.com/2013/04/29/the-great-each-east-anglias-childrens-hospices-giveaway-sponsored-by-links-of-london/

Ugh, why does she have to be absolutely perfect? I just love her so much.

[EmilieMadison]

She sounds exactly the way I have always thought she'd sound. Yes, I've actually spent time imagining the DoC's voice.

I adore her. I saw this video earlier today and listened to it because I hadn't heard her voice previously either.

I was not at all into the royal wedding, but the more I see/read about her, the more I love her.

I want to say that she sounds exactly like how I think verona sounds, but without the accent.

SHE DOES.

They are twins separated by birth. Yup.

mbcdefg What are the Kate blogs you read?

I like What Kate Wore. The royal blogs I follow are A Tiara a Day (and its predecessor, Mad Hattery) and The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor - those include other royals besides Kate (I'm enjoying all of the Maxima posts because of the Dutch abdication tomorrow!).

Plus a few Twitter accounts.

Did you know she had elocution lessons in her youth to sound more upper crust? Her accent apparently was much more Southern English like mine. The more you know hehe

This is a thing?
I had no idea. She does sound more upper crust than I expected.

I imagine that it's like people sending their midwestern/southern/whatever children for elocution to make them sound more.. shit, I forget the word.  But basically accentless.  Well, as "accentless" as an American accent can be, which is basically the Pacific Northwest type of diction.

Yep, that's what they call a mid Atlantic accent I believe.

I thought she sounded like Julie Andrews.
