The Duchess of Cornwall had a similar incident a while ago. An experienced granny, she taught the little girl the art of compromising by taking the flowers (from the girl's mother who intervened) and then returning some to the crying girl which had the immediate effect of cheering her up.
I wonder what did Kate do.

I'm sure Kate handled it with tact and diplomacy. :)
Meanwhile, you can read about the incident with the Duchess of Cornwall here.
 
I'm sure she wouldn't make the litttle girl cry

poor thing
 
HRH is a true professional and I am in awe of how well she adapts to her role!
 
Richard Palmer ‏@RoyalReporter There must have been a bit of a last minute rush to see Kate then if the crowd went from 70 to 500 in the city centre.

Thanks as always, ghost. Best of luck in your exams. Have you considered a stint at a British university? You could go and see these events in person with no time zone issues.

Thank you! Slightly OT but as much as I'd LOVE to do a stint at a British University I think my parents would kill me especially after all the money we've spent already with the current one I'm attending. But the plan is fingers crossed in a few years to move to London with a journalism degree and try to get a job in the field of royal correspondence.

Ok so vids here: Home - ITNSource News

The little girl is named Lola Mackay - and she is cute - here she is solo: http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Lola+Mackay+Duchess+Cambridge+Visits+North+jieWpTUo-hol.jpg

Thank you so much for the photos Admirer. Little Lola is so cute and I see her mummy was well prepared for the day as she appears to have brought along the potty just in case!

It seems that Kate's visit yesterday was a great success. She seems amazingly comfortable and confident considering she's only been in the role for 18 months. She looks like she enjoys meeting people which likely makes it easier for her.

The pictures of her hugging the little boy were so sweet. As the article said, if you don't ask, you don't get. Well done him for having the courage to ask for a hug.
 
One of Catherine's criticisms from her detractors is that she is stiff and wooden and 'fake' but children recognise fake from a mile away and boys and girls of all ages are 'in love' with her and enthralled by HRH. Articles about William and Catherine always make me smile!!! :D

This is very true. Children will 'reveal' the true person underneath by either wanting to be around him/her, or hiding behind a parent/ignoring the person completely. They're the best judges of character and 'psychologists' :D.
 
LOL at the potty:ROFLMAO:

Catherine visited yesterday with a group of teen moms - a potential quagmire of issues for some people. She seemed to handle the visit well and focused on the young women and their lives rather than the politics of any related issues. It struck me as I read the report below that Kate showed some real skill here. :previous:

This is a great cause to support. Again, Catherine is not afraid to get her hands dirty and wor with organizations that are not glamourous.

This charity was part of the group that received donations from the Royal Wedding last year.

I hope this link works because you can see Catherine leaving and greeting the crowds. A little girl was due to give the Duchess some flowers but decided not to and Catherine thought that was very funny.
 
Thank you for the link! Children just love Catherine and you can tell that HRH adores children!
 
I love this and I hope she makes a habit of it. Given her interest in hospice care, I have no doubt this was a personal gesture- and a very nice one.
