See How Kate Middleton Made her best meet-and-greet moments

Excited crowds greet the Duchess of Cambridge everywhere she goes, from hospital visits to official royal tours around the world, in countries including India, Canada and Australia. The Duchess loves to mingle with well-wishers during what’s called a “walkabout” – a royal meet-and-greet where members of the public have the chance to get to talk to the royal family.

And while Kate loves getting a chance to meet royal fans, her talkative style has become the source of some good-natured family teasing. “There’s a real art to walkabouts, everybody teases me in the family that I spend far too long chatting,” she once said in a TV interview. “I still have to learn a little bit more, and to pick up a few more tips, I suppose.”

Here is a gallery of meet-and-greet moments that we think prove that Kate is doing just fine!
