The Duchess of Cambridge is
a known natural with children and on Thursday showed her love for babies once
again when she asked a mother if she could hold her child.
Kate and her husband Prince
William attended the Cambridgeshire County Day and wandered around a
variety of stalls sampling chocolate and a Jubilee beer before meeting members
of the public.
At one point, the
mother-of-three saw a woman holding her baby and made a beeline for the family.
The baby’s mother, Marianne Provoost, who had travelled from the Netherlands to
watch the races, said the Duchess had asked to hold her child and told her: ‘I
love babies.”
Her daughter, four-month-old
Norah, was given a quick cuddle by Kate before she handed her back to Marianne,
who told the royal: “Enjoy your day and enjoy your children.”
Kate has three children with
her husband – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – but on
multiple occasions recently, the Prince has referred to his wife as being
“broody”.
During a visit to St. John’s Primary School in Glasgow, Prince William joked: “Can you get my wife out of here before she gets broody?” The Duchess certainly looked besotted by a cute baby crawling in front of her.

Kate made a beeline for the baby
In February, Kate also
admitted she often felt “broody” as she chatted with parents and
their babies at Copenhagen’s Children’s Museum and joked that her husband
worries about her working with under one-year-olds because she returns home
wanting “another one”.
A fan account for the
Cambridges called @cambridge.edits also recently shared a wholesome
video of Kate greeting a mother and clearly anticipating the opportunity to
hold her little ones too.
