Princess Kate has shared a sweet personal detail about Prince George during her return to royal duties, revealing that Prince George is now 'already in my shoes'.
The Princess of Wales made the revelation whilst greeting well-wishers outside the Natural History Museum in London alongside Prince William.
The royal couple toured the institution's newly renovated gardens and spoke with school children and assembled members of the public during the visit.
When asked about her three children by one of the gathered royal fans, the 43-year-old princess exclaimed: "They're getting big now!"

Her comment highlighted how rapidly the eldest Wales child is maturing, with Kate gesturing to indicate that the 12-year-old future king was nearly as tall as her.
"George is already in my shoes," Kate added, implying George was big enough to match his mother’s shoe size.
Kate was prompted into further reflection when the supporter shared that they were part of the crowd of well-wishers outside the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital when Kate gave birth her eldest.
"It only feels like yesterday," the Princess of Wales said wistfully.

Evidently, Kate wanted to keep her three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, close to her heart as eagle-eyed royal watchers spied her wearing a meaningful piece of Jewellery.
The princess sported a delicate gold necklace featuring her children's initials 'G', 'C' and 'L' arranged in birth order.
Kate has worn the touching £495 custom piece by British designer Daniella Draper on multiple previous occasions.
This week would prove to be an important one for the Wales children who returned to studies at Lambrook School in Berkshire on Wednesday, entering Year 8, Year 6 and Year 3 respectively.

It will be a significant year for George, as he will complete his final term at the co-educational preparatory school before transitioning to secondary education next summer.
Eton College in Windsor, where Prince William studied, is widely considered the most likely destination for the young prince when he turns 13.
If the future king does attend Eton, this year will therefore be the last time all three siblings will study at the same school.
The princess’s sweet recollections at the museum were soon interrupted by a sudden deluge of rain, forcing her to abandon outdoor activities with primary school pupils.
