She continued: "My childhood was amazing in that I felt so free. I honestly remember endless, sunny days playing out in the fields behind the housing estate we lived on and never coming indoors until we heard my mum screeching tea was ready and banging her saucepan out the back door."

Reinforcing Princess Kate's Shaping Us campaign, the blonde beauty went on to say: "That freedom, the ability to use my imagination to my heart's content and always being encouraged to follow my dreams are what shaped me from 0-5 and beyond. Those early years are super important in a child's life".

Princess Kate said: "The way we develop, through our experiences, relationships and surroundings during our early childhood, fundamentally shapes our whole lives.
"It affects everything from our ability to form relationships and thrive at work, to our mental and physical well-being as adults and the way we parent our own children."
