During the 34-year-old’s latest outing, the mum-of-two revealed that her darling Princess Charlotte is “getting bigger by the day,” while cheeky George is obsessed with anything that has wheels!

“He’s got a scooter. He’s going super fast on it,” she told a group of schoolchildren from St Matthew’s Primary School outside Westminster Abbey. “It’s hard to keep up with him!”

Chatting to eager schoolkids, Catherine admitted George loves his wheels.

“Charlotte is keeping him in check‎,” she added. “She’s getting bigger by the day.”

It seems like George is following in his father’s footsteps. Just last year, Catherine admitted she was “filled with horror” every time William goes for a spin on his motorbike, adding that she hoped George wouldn’t inherit the same interests as his dad.

The royal mum joined her husband, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry for the annual Commonwealth service at Westminster Abbey.

Stepping out for the Queen Elizabeth’s big day, the Duchess chose to make a nod to her late mother-in-law by donning a custom-made wide-brimmed grey hat, created by Princess Diana’s favourite milliner, 90-year-old John Boyd. She teamed up the headwear with an oh-so-chic grey Erdem coat, worth a heavy $4,753.

Catherine rocked a hat from one of Diana’s favourite hat designer’s, John Boyd. The 90-year-old milliner once said, “Diana was our best ambassador for hats and the entire millinery industry owes her a debt.” The late Princess of Wales, pictured on the right, in a John Boyd hat at the Guard’s Chapel, London, November 1983.

The Queen had her family by her side during the event.

The rare public event saw the beloved royal trio support the Queen, who spoke about this year’s theme, An Inclusive Commonwealth – underlining the diversity of the Commonwealth.

In a pre-recorded speech, the 89-year-old Monarch addressed her 53 nations, which includes Australia, the UK and Canada, saying, “We can always benefit from being open to the ideas and encouragement of those around us.”

Before adding, “By including others, drawing on collective insights, knowledge and resources, and thinking and working together, we lay the foundations of a harmonious and progressive society.”

The hour-long service, which is the UK’s biggest multi-faith celebration, featured a mixture of testimonies, readings, hymns and musical performances.

One of the performers included British pop star, Ellie Goulding. The 29-year-old, who sang at Catherine and William’s iconic 2011 wedding, belted out an emotional rendition of Fields of Gold.

Other guests included Former UN secretary general Kofi Annan and UK Prime Minister David Cameron.

Ellie Goulding was one of the day’s performers.
