The Princess of Wales met two young children with a special royal connection during her recent visit to Wales.
Catherine visited Powys with William ahead of St David’s Day last week, where she was introduced to two babies with ties to the Firm.
During an unexpected stop to meet with well-wishers, Catherine was greeted by a mother and baby.
“Very nice to meet you. And who's this?” the princess said in a video shared to X.

“This is Will,” the woman appeared to say.
Catherine replied with a smile, saying “hello, Will", before moving on to greet others who had lined the streets of the Welsh town.
Much to her surprise, the next woman’s child also had links to the Royal Family.
“Hello, hi, very nice to meet you,” Catherine said as she was introduced to Lily, another young baby.
The woman appeared to say they “knew each other well” before the princess took a photo with them and moved on.
Following the visit to Wales, the princess stunned royal fans as she delivered her St David’s Day message on social media.
