Princess Catherine had a sweet reaction to a young boy’s question during her visit to Evelina London Children’s Hospital today. The 44-year-old paid a visit to the hospital based in London today, with Catherine acting as royal patron for Evelina since 2018.
The visit saw the royal learn more about how the hospital is working to bring specialist expertise together with family-centred support to help children and their loved ones navigate their way through challenging times. Catherine met a few young children on the wards, including one boy named Ejran, who asked if she was “the Queen’s daughter”.
Catherine, who is known for her early years work, simply told the 10-year-old with a sweet smile, “No, I am Princess of Wales”.
Catherine’s visit also attracted a lot of attention from royal fans, with many delighted by today’s surprise visit in London.
Many royal fans appeared to share the same comment about Catherine and her role as a senior royal.
One said: “Princess of Wales is the jewel in the British crown.”
Another added: “The Princess of Wales could genuinely give a masterclass on what it means to be a modern royal. Carole and Michael Middleton raised an extraordinary daughter – and it’s clear Prince William not only loved her, but recognised she was born for this life of service…”
Speaking of an adorable moment that Catherine was presented with some flowers from a little girl outside of the hospital, a third added: “Her compassion and connection with young patients and their families is always so genuine and uplifting.”
Sporting a beautiful white mid-length dress, Catherine accessoried her look with a blue friendship bracelet that was made by her 11-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte.
Catherine was previously seen wearing one of her daughter’s creations after completing her “toughest challenge” last week.
