Kate Middleton’s touching gesture to child
<p dir="ltr">Kate Middleton has once again shown her affection for young children by offering up her poppy to a young child who didn’t have one.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Princess of Wales was visiting Colham Manor Children's Centre as a royal patron for the Maternal Mental Health Alliance.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A mother of three herself, the Princess spoke to new mums and families who have struggled since giving birth.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On her way out, she bumped into three-year-old Akeem, who bombarded Kate with a series of questions – including asking for her name.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“What is your name?” the curious kid asked.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“My name is Catherine. Nice to meet you,” she responded.</p>

<p dir="ltr" lang="en">It’s not everyday you get a poppy from a Princess 😊 Akeem who’s 3 was very chatty when Kate unexpectedly stopped to say hello at a maternity mental health visit so she gave him her remembrance poppy. Thanks Liberty from Colham Manor primary and Akeem’s mum for letting me share <a href="https://t.co/ykP1wyujtf">pic.twitter.com/ykP1wyujtf</a></p>

<p dir="ltr">She then asked Akeem if he had a poppy, pointing to her own, before he reached over and said, “No, I haven't found one”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"Would you like mine?" the Princess then asked, to which Akeem said yes – at which point she proceeded to take off her poppy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"Do you know what this is for? It's for remembering all the soldiers who died in the war," the Princess told the young boy as she removed the poppy from her coat.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Here you go, that’s for you. You look after it,” she then said to the excited child before handing the sharp pin to his mother.</p>
