In honour of National Random Acts of Kindness Day on 17 February, we're taking a look at all the times the royals have been selfless, be that through a comforting gesture or a warm hug.
One such moment occurred when the Princess of Wales kept her promise when she wore a pink dress to meet little Mila Sneddon in May 2021. Watch the moment they met in the video below…

True to her word, Kate wore a bubblegum pink Me+Em dress as the pair met face-to-face at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh later that month.
The Duchess of Sussex

The Sussexes joined Prince William and Kate outside the castle to thank members of the public for their support and floral tributes.

The royal's patronage, The Passage, shared that the Prince spoke to homeless residents and packed food at the shelter, working alongside volunteers to serve up hot meals for people that had been moved into the emergency accommodation.
Queen Consort Camilla

Camilla's kind gesture came as she hosted a reception at Clarence House. During the event, the royal put an arm around Richard and said that his late wife would be "looking down" on him.
Following the event, Richard said: "The Duchess knew my wife very well, who died last month. She was talking about her. She was very supportive."
King Charles

The £1million starting fund - which included Charles' donation - was used to purchase fridges and freezers enabling food banks and community banks to store more food.
The white goods were distributed to local charities, food banks and social pantries identified by the Felix Project in London and across the UK by The Trussell Trust, FareShare and British Asian Trust.
The Countess of Wessex

In December 2021, she was pictured serving food and drink during a visit to The Lighthouse community hub in Woking.
Princess Charlotte

The then four-year-old royal was given a number of gifts during the walkabout, including an inflatable pink flamingo.
The Duke of Sussex

Despite the torrential rain and thunderstorm, which left him drenched to the skin, Harry remained in high spirits and brightened up the day of 98-year-old Daphne Dunne.
The Prince had met Daphne once before in 2015, and was reunited with her again in 2018 during Harry and Meghan's tour of Australasia.
"He kissed me on the other cheek this time," said Daphne in 2017. "He really is a lovely young man and he's warm and genuine."
Sadly, Daphne passed away in 2019 just days after receiving a birthday card from the Sussexes for her 99th birthday.
