What is Kate’s new nickname?

It appears the British public have dubbed Kate the Children’s Princess.

Of course, her late mother-in-law Princess Diana was known as the People’s Princess, so it seems Kate is following in her footsteps in terms of the nation’s affection.

One said: “The Children’s Princess!”

Keep doing the great work!

A second agreed: “Children’s Princess 😍.”

Meanwhile, a third commented: “What an adorable engagement of our #childrensprincess.”

“She’s a treasure,” confirmed a fourth.

Fuelling the news, Kate has also signed up to host her first-ever Bedtime Story on CBeebies.

The duchess has chosen to read The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson as part of Children’s Mental Health Week.

It will air at 6.50pm on Sunday 13 February.
