The Duchess of Cambridge has spoken about dealing with the demands of three young children during lockdown.
Kate said her youngest, two-year-old Prince Louis, is still too young to understand social distancing and wants to “cuddle everything”.
The Duchess made the comments as she met parents to mark the launch of the BBC’s Tiny Happy People digital resource, aimed at parents hoping to develop their children’s communication skills, in the gardens of the Queen’s Sandringham residence in Norfolk.
In a socially-distanced chat with Kerry, Darren and their son Dexter, two, for a film shown on BBC Breakfast today, Kate said: “Louis doesn’t understand social distancing. So he goes out wanting to cuddle everything, particularly any babies younger than him.”
She also remarked on Louis’s ability to run at speed. Kerry said of her son: “He’s now taken to running everywhere.” Kate replied, laughing: “Oh my God, I know that. You put Louis down and he’s off.”
The duchess spoke about Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Louis’s large appetites. “My children have bottomless pits. I feel like a constant feeding machine,” she said.
