Princess Charlotte may be royal, but she's just like every other little girl really! The Duchess of Cambridge opened up about one of her little girl's favourite pastimes during a visit to the Anna Freud Centre on Wednesday, revealing that the Princess loves playing with slime. While Kate was at the centre's interconnecting Pears Family School, the mother-of-three enjoyed having a conversation with a little girl called Narriyah about the popular children's craze. She told her: "Charlotte, my daughter, she dropped hers on the floor and it was pink and ended and brown and covered in so much mud. It ends up all gooey, doesn't it?" Narriyah's grandmother then said of the conversation afterwards: "The Duchess was lovely with her. It was quite funny that they were talking about slime, of all things."
