Princess Kate gets on with children so well

Princess Diana was very well known for her amazing rapport with children, and it seems the new Princess of Wales has the magic touch too.

In the sweet clip, the youngster appeared to show the royal a bottle of shampoo, which the Princess then sniffed and encouraged the child to do so too.

As well as taking the time to greet children, the Princess is often taken aback by babies during her royal engagements, stopping for a little cuddle when she can.
