The Princess of Wales has slowly started to return to royal duties after announcing that she has completed her chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
The Princess' unrivalled style and warm presence were missed greatly by royal fans in the nine months she stepped away from the spotlight, particularly her tender approach to working with and meeting young children.
An unearthed video of the mother-of-three, who shares Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, five, with Prince William, was shared to royal fan account @royaltywithclare on Instagram.
The sweet clip, captured in 2022, shows the royal meeting three-year-old Akeem during a visit to the Colham Manor Children's Centre.
In the charming interaction, Kate kneels down to Akeem's level. The toddler showed interest in the royal's poppy pin.
"Do you know what this is for?" Kate asked as she took the pin off her coat. "It's for remembering all the soldiers who died in the war. There you go — that's for you."

"Her interaction with these kiddos reminds me so much of Princess Diana," penned one fan, as another wrote: "I said the same thing to my husband. Love her so much. Such compassion for others."
A third sweetly shared: "Just like Diana… Beautiful." A fourth wrote: "Such a special lady, it is easy to see why William loves her so much. Diana would be so proud."
The Princess of Wales is just like Princess Diana
It's not the first time the Princess has been compared to Princess Diana, despite never having met the late Princess of Wales.

In July 1985, Princess Diana wore a breathtaking metallic gown by Bruce Oldfield to the premiere of the James Bond film A View To A Kill.
