Kate has released a new video from her visit to St John’s CE Primary School in Bethnal Green, London.

Kate joked that she felt left out without a teddy as the rest of the children held their bears tightly.

The royal said: "I should have brought my teddy with me, shouldn't I?"

"I brought a film, to watch with you guys."

Kate tweeted the video with the caption: "What is #ShapingUs?

"Introducing Layla’s story to the children of St John’s CE Primary School and chatting about the important people in their lives, who they share their feelings with… and Barnaby Bear."

The clip comes as this week the Prince and Princess of Wales joined a star-studded reception at the home of British cinema as Kate launched her ambitious Shaping US campaign to create better futures for young children.

The Princess of Wales said: "These are the most preventative years. By focusing our collective time, energy, and resources to build a supportive, nurturing world around the youngest members of our society and those caring for them, we can make a huge difference to the health and happiness of generations to come.

“All of society has a role to play in this, even if you are not directly involved in a child’s life, because we are all responsible for building a more compassionate world in which our children can grow, learn and live.

“In these difficult times, it is more important than ever to help support parents and caregivers provide loving, safe and secure homes for their babies and young children to thrive.”
