As well as her own kids, the royal has a natural rapport with young members of the public she meets on public engagements, and an unearthed video of her interacting with a toddler proves just that.

WATCH: Princess Kate cuddles two-month-old baby 

When attending a nursery, Kate is saying goodbye to the children when one responds: "Bye, bye lovely Kate." After hearing the sweet words, the Princess clutches her chest, repeats the words to clarify what was said and follows with a "thank you" to the little one.

The clip was in fact taken from a visit back in January 2020, when Kate surprised parents and pupils at the London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) Stockwell Gardens Nursery and Pre-School.

A similar fan account, @hrhcatherineprincessofwalesuk, shared another video which proved Kate's maternal bond, and it revealed the Princess bending down to speak to a little girl during an official engagement.

"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.
