KUALA LUMPUR (AP) - The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, said on Thursday while visiting a Malaysian hospice that "lives can be transformed" by providing places of support for child patients and their families.
Kate delivered a short speech from a prepared text. She read slowly, looking up and smiling occasionally at the hospice's staff and patients.
