The Princess of Wales shares video message for Addiction Awareness Week

On Sunday, Kensington Palace shared a video message of the Princess of Wales for Addiction Awareness Week. The Princess of Wales is Patron of the Forward Trust.

In her message, the Princess of Wales says: "Attitudes are changing, but we're not there yet, and we need to be. Still the shame of addiction is stopping people and families asking for help and people are still tragically losing their lives. We, as a society, need to recognize that the only way to help those suffering is to try to understand what has led them to addiction. To empathize with them and to be compassionate to their struggles. […] I know this was not a choice. Recovery is possible."

The Princess of Wales wore her Tory Burch blouse.
