"I heard my daughter singing this morning and it's a song called Shine Jesus Shine and that made me very happy this morning," she told a little girl from Ukraine during a sweet moment. 

The Princess added: "Do you know that song? Does it have the same tune? I heard that this morning and it made me very happy this morning. I'm going to look up that song in Ukrainian." 

The royal mum-of-three was there to highlight the work of the hub, which supports Ukrainians affected by the ongoing conflict.

It seems Charlotte's creative side doesn't just stop there as she appears to be following in her late grandmother Princess Diana's footsteps with her fondness for gymnastics

Kate, 42, previously said: "Charlotte is really into gymnastics, she's doing cartwheels, handstands, everything. It's so good for their basic skills of balance and coordination." 

On a visit to the Princess Diana garden at Kensington Palace in 2017, Prince William's wife also revealed that Charlotte was taking dancing lessons. While chatting to English National Ballet director Tamara Rojo about Diana's passion for dancing, Kate said of her then two-year-old daughter: "She absolutely loves it."
