Princess Kate’s comforting and empathetic response to a nervous fan has recently gained significant attention on TikTok.
During her visit to Kirkgate Market in Leeds on January 31, 2023, the Princess of Wales was approached by a man who admitted he was “a little bit autistic” and felt “really nervous.”
Touching Viral Moment
A video clip capturing this interaction shows the man calling out, “Can I get a selfie?” Kate responded kindly, “Yes, very quickly.” When he confessed his nervousness due to being “a little bit autistic,” Kate reassured him by saying, “Please don’t worry, it’s OK. We all get nervous.”
This touching exchange has since gone viral, amassing 46,300 likes and 326,500 views on TikTok.
The video, shared with the caption, “Happy birthday to the strongest princess who has showed that she is human just like us,” struck a chord with many viewers.
Kate Middleton’s Nervous Moments
In the clip, other moments are shown highlighting that Kate, too, has had her share of nervous experiences in public.
One commenter recalled, “I remember her first official speech. She was very nervous but pulled it off magnificently.”
This interaction between Kate and the fan underscores her genuine empathy and understanding.
Kate was in Leeds to promote her Shaping Us campaign, which focuses on the importance of early years care for children before they start school.
While it is common for members of the royal family to engage with fans during public appearances, Kate went the extra mile to ease the man’s nerves.
After taking the selfie, she concluded their conversation with a warm, “Well done, nice to meet you. Take care.”
The clip’s comments section was filled with praise for Kate’s kindness and calming demeanor.

“Her accent is so calming,” noted one user, while another added, “She treats people with such kindness.” A third comment simply read, “‘Please don’t worry’ I’m gone.”
Currently, Kate shared updated news on her health after visiting the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where she received her treatments last year.
On her Instagram account she wrote: “It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery,” her statements were accompanied by a photo of her sitting with a cancer patient in the hospital.
