"Notice how she immediately drops down to the child’s level and looks them straight in the eye…," penned one, and: "She dropped so fast and gave that little one her undivided attention. Bless her," agreed another.

A third wrote: "Love the way Princess Kate always goes eye level with the children," and a fourth added: "Very Princess Diana move."

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.

Kate promptly replied: "Am I allowed to?" and then a member of staff helped the mum pass the baby to the Princess.

"She's very sweet," remarked Kate as she gazed at the bundle of joy. So cute!

The Princess has made no secret of the fact that she is very broody and has even said that William makes comments when she works with young children, hinting that she'll want another one soon.
