Britain's Princess Kate has opened up about the difficulties she faces carrying out her royal duties, confessing that large public events are 'really hard' for her.

Soft-spoken kate struggles to make herself heard

Despite being one of the most famous women in the world, the Princess of Wales has revealed she finds it challenging to navigate the crowds and be heard during royal engagements.

In a candid moment, Kate reportedly told attendees at a Buckingham Palace reception marking what would have been the 100th birthday of the late Queen Elizabeth II that she finds large gatherings 'really hard'.

The royal mom-of-three also confessed that her soft voice often gets her told to 'speak up a bit louder'.

Kate's admission comes as no surprise, given the high-profile nature of her royal duties alongside Prince William, which see the couple making hundreds of public appearances each year.
