The Princess of Wales had a touching moment with a newborn baby in her first major solo engagement since receiving her new royal title.
Kate visited the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford to meet new mums and babies in the hospital’s maternity unit. The tour was part of a series of visits undertaken by Kate and her husband Prince William this week to show their key interests in their new royal roles.
Kate is set to continue making early years care a key focus in her Princess of Wales role, having recently become patron of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance. Kate gave birth to all three of her children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - at the private Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London.
