CATHERINE, PRINCESS OF WALES

To say the past year has been challenging for Kate would be an understatement. But after overcoming her cancer battle the princess, 43, is back at work helping others. Since becoming a royal in 2011, Kate has spent much of her time campaigning to help families. She explained, 'One of my key aims over the last decade has been to reduce the stigma around asking for help, and I believe strong communities have a huge role to play in this. By looking out for others and providing communities of support, we have the best chance of supporting the health and wellbeing of those around us.'
