Princess Kate touched the hearts of Welsh children and families facing difficult circumstances on Thursday, Jan. 30, adding the Tŷ Hafan children's hospice to her list of royal patronages. Following the visit, the Princess of Wales has been praised for her "warming and easy" demeanor that brings to mind her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
"You can tell she is a mom," Alex Forbes, whose 12-year-old son, Felix is being treated at the hospice, told People of Princess Kate. Alex and husband Dan, along with daughters Lottie, 9, and Maggie, 4, interacted with the royal—who also visited a textile factory during Thursday's trip to Wales—and even got in on some hand painting action.
