Kate Middleton and Jessie J Have Emotional Moment After Bonding Over Cancer Journeys
Jessie J and Kate Middleton are royally connected.
The “Price Tag” singer detailed her decision to break royal protocol by hugging the Princess of Wales following the Royal Variety Performance at Royal Albert Hall last month, revealing that she opted to embrace Kate despite being “briefed not to.”
“I just saw a mom that has also gone through cancer publicly, and I just wanted to give her a hug,” Jessie said on This Morning Dec. 3. “It was as simple as that. I didn’t see her as the Princess of Wales, I mean obviously I did, and I was respectful.”
The “Bang Bang” singer, who shared that she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer in June, clarified that she asked Kate for permission before going in for a hug.
As she explained, “I said to her, ‘Can I give you a hug?’ and she received it.”
“I just said, ‘It’s inspiring.’” Jessie recalled telling Kate, who announced at the beginning of 2025 that she was in remission following her own cancer battle. “I know the days that she has maybe gone through, and I just wanted to give her a hug—mom to mom, human to human.”
