Kate Middleton Shares Her Surprising Favorite Thing About "Being a Princess" With Young Fan

The Princess of Wales has always had a special way with children, whether it's visiting a school, working on a new early childhood development initiative or just kneeling down to chat with a little one at an event. In fact, like Princess Diana was known as "The People's Princess," Kate has been dubbed "The Children's Princess" by some fans. One such encounter has resurfaced in a video from 2019 that shows the royal's sweet demeanor with kids—and reveals one of her favorite things about being part of the Royal Family.

During a visit to Northern Ireland in 2019, Princess Kate spoke with a 9-year-old girl named Hannah Ritchie who was working on a biography of the royal for a school project. Valentine Low of the Times shared a video of the sweet interaction, which has been revisited by royal Instagram account Kate For Kiddies.
