Video: Duchess of Cambridge?s first speech



>>> her husband is off flying choppers in the military. that means even more attention back home for the wildly popular kate middleton . today, she gave her first public speech as a member of the royal family . it was only three minutes long, but it was her own work and everything from the venue to what's she wore was under intense scrutiny. from london, our report.

>> the duchess of cambridge, in control of an event all her own. a children's hospice where she chose where she spoke, and to little girls, they adored her.

>> so friendly, so approachable.

>> then a milestone for the duchess, her first speech.

>> thank you for not only accepting me as a patron, thank you also for inviting me here today.

>> her voice, a little wavering.

>> i'm only sorry that william can't be here today.

>> it reminded many of princess diana 's first tentative public address , partly in welsch. and of the queen. it has been extremely rare that we have heard kate 's voice at all. now this marks the start of what should be a long career representing and speaking for the royal family on her own. she has taken her place at the queen's side.

>> the queen is really taking her under her wing.

>> and kate has relaxed. last week, field hockey , teaching prince charles to iron. and laughing with soldiers, one of whom couldn't bear the excitement. people like how normal she seems. a fashion icon who does her own hair and makeup, buys inexpensive clothes, even seconds hand. her dress today, borrowed from mom. kate manages to represent two worlds. and many now speak quietly, have found a powerful voice in her.
