Kate Middleton returned to work yesterday after her maternity leave, and fans are loving her typical 'mum moment'...
It’s been nearly seven months since the Duchess of Cambridge’s last engagement, when she attended an event with Prince William on 22 March.
Kate took a well-deserved break after welcoming little Prince Louis, who was born in April, but now she’s back to work.
Yesterday she had her first engagement at a recreation ground in Paddington, London, where she spent time with local school children learning about how being outdoors and playing in nature can help with little ones’ well being.
While the mum-of-three seemed very happy to be surrounded by children, one particular moment has captured fans’ hearts.
In a clip shared by royal reporter Rebecca English on Twitter, the Duchess is seen completely unfazed when a little girl gives her her cup to hold – something most mums can relate to!

One said: ‘hahaha! Kids do what they want. I’m sure Kate is very used to this.’
Anoter wrote: ‘That’s a Mom! Notice how she just went with it, no reaction, as if she does it everyday & all the time … Amazing Lady right there, and a Princess to be proud of.’
A third added: ‘Great capture. It’s these candid moments that really paint a portrait of the person behind the title. Kate’s such a natural with kids it’s a pleasure to witness.’

In another very sweet moment, Kate was asked by another little girl why the photographers were taking pictures of her, to which she replied: ‘They’re picturing you because you’re so special’. So cute!
The actual sweetest thing 😭
The little girl asked “Why are they picturing you?” And Kate responded… “They’re picturing you because you’re so special” 😭💕😍

Kate’s next engagement will be next week, on October 9th, when she will attend the first Global Ministerial Mental Health Summit.
The event will also be her first one back alongside husband William, who recently travelled to Africa in official royal duties.
