When she made an effort to connect with the younger generation

Embracing motherhood often means trading in a few of your “cool” credentials. It’s a universal shift that doesn’t spare anyone, not even when you’re royalty. However, it’s comforting to know that not all is lost, and with the right approach, you can reclaim some of that lost ground. Yet, more often than not, these attempts to sync up with the younger crowd might not hit the mark, leading to moments that are endearingly awkward rather than effortlessly cool.

Kate Middleton experiences these moments just like any other parent. Despite her status, she’s not immune to the occasional misstep in trying to stay relevant with the younger generation. Her attempts, such as the exploding fist pump, serve as a charming reminder that, at heart, she’s a mom navigating the same waters of parenthood as everyone else, occasionally missing the beat in the dance of intergenerational coolness.
