In a poignant statement, a member of the royal family shared her health challenges.
Flora Vesterberg, the daughter of King Charles' second cousin James Ogilvy, recently disclosed that she was diagnosed with autism at the age of thirty.
In a special writing piece for British Vogue, the granddaughter of Princess Alexandra, a relative of the late Queen Elizabeth, revealed that she has been dealing with her sickness.
She went on: "I've struggled quietly with the challenges of my neurodiversity since childhood, but am now also able to perceive its strengths."
The Art Historian and Broadcaster described how her physical condition empowered her, despite her "underlying concern about how I would articulate this professionally."

"Whilst my journey with autism feels like it only truly began with my diagnosis, I feel relieved to now have a clearer understanding of my emotional needs as well as the strengths that I should lean into," Florence wrote.
The queen, who did not allow autism interfere with her schooling or profession, said, "As a result of the diagnosis, I feel empowered by having a framework in which to understand my experiences and sensitivities."
Flora feels that disclosing her medical issue will "not only help me to be kinder to myself, but also help my community to support me more effectively."
