The Duchess of Cambridge has a natural affinity with children and there have been plenty of sweet moments in public during her eight years as a royal. During a visit to LEYF Stockwell Gardens Nursery in London this week, Kate helped to serve breakfast to children. The Duchess poured out cereal for the youngsters and after chatting with them about their favourite foods, the royal mum said her goodbyes with a high five.
It seems to be one of Kate's go-to greetings when chatting to children, particularly on a walkabout or during a royal tour. The Duchess became a mum for the first time in 2013 when her eldest son Prince George was born; Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis followed in 2015 and 2018 respectively.
We take a look back at the Duchess of Cambridge's sweetest high fives over the years…
