Singer Jessie J has revealed why she hugged Kate Middleton during the Royal Variety Performance.
Last month, Jessie attended the Royal Variety Performance. During the event, she met with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
On This Morning this week, Jessie reflected on her emotional interaction with the Princess of Wales. Their hug quickly made headlines, and now Jessie is sharing what moved her to cross the usual royal boundaries.

“I was briefed not to,” Jessie admitted. “But I just saw a mum that has also gone through cancer publicly, and I just wanted to give her a hug. It was as simple as that.”
Jessie revealed she asked permission first: “I said to her, ‘Can I give you a hug?’ and she received it.”
Despite knowing the formal expectations of a royal meet-and-greet, the singer said the emotional connection overrode everything else.
