The royal couple's sweet date came shortly after Kate embarked on a solo outing and met with staff, clients and health professionals at Colham Manor Children's Centre in Hillingdon, west London, in her role as patron of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance.
As she arrived at the centre, she had the sweetest exchange with one little boy – much to the delight of onlookers.
