Despite the fact that they're in the public eye, many royal parents often share sweet moments with their children during royal engagements and appearances, delighting fans with a glimpse inside their home life. From Princess Diana to Prince Harry and Sarah Ferguson, we take a look at some of the times the royal family have doted on their children. Grab a tissue and prepare for cuteness overload…

Kate Middleton
Even when the Duchess of Cambridge is unaware of the cameras, she can't help but shower her children with love. While attending a charity polo match in 2018, Kate was pictured playing with a cheeky Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Prince Harry
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's tour of southern Africa marked their first official visit as a family of three - and Prince Harry couldn't keep his eyes off his son!

Crown Princess Mary
Prince Christian's Christening in 2006 was a very memorable moment for the family, so it comes as no surprise that Crown Princess Mary took in every detail of her son's face.
Prince William
The look of love on Prince George's face as he cuddles up to dad Prince William is so adorable! The little boy appeared to be shy as he attended a children's party for military families during the royal tour of Canada in 2016, so perhaps his father is giving him a few words of encouragement and a big hug to help.
Queen Letizia
Have you ever seen a more supportive parent than Queen Letizia? As her daughter Princess Sofia prepared to start school in 2010, the royal gave her a big kiss at the school gates, just like any mother would as they marked the huge milestone.
Princess Diana
The late Princess of Wales regularly delighted fans with sweet photos of her enjoying time with her sons, but this snap of her snuggling up to Prince Harry during a holiday in 1987 has got to be one of the cutest!
