Kate wasn’t afraid to pull some funny faces in a bid to make the little ones laugh! Meanwhile, during the outing on Sunday, Catherine met a two-year-old boy called Freddie whose mother Wendy Maxwell revealed to reporters: “She asked him how old he was and he said ‘I’m 3.’ When I said he is only 2, she said, ‘George says that. He thinks that he’s older.’

It was a much more casual affair for William and Catherine as opposed to recent events, however Catherine’s brunette tresses were perfectly styled in a bouncy ponytail and she finished off her look with elegant pearl drop earrings and gold ballet flats.

The event was cancelled just one hour after William and Catherine’s arrival but the duo were still beaming!

The mother-of-two was also given two mini jackets with Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s names on the back. Catherine reportedly described the gifts as “cute.”
