Oftentimes this is in a foreign country where daily life is dramatically different from what they are used to. Possessed with a strong motherly instinct, she tries her best to make the transitions a little bit easier.
Miss your Nintendo system? No problem. Kate'll get you a new one. Want exclusive Wimbledon tickets? Kate has connections. Interested in taking ballet lessons from the very best? Easy. For Kate, it's just a phone call away.

Kate, of course, took copious notes.
