Princess of Wales gives her poppy to three-year-old boy during visit to children's centre

Catherine, Princess of Wales has once again demonstrated her skills with young kids, during a visit to Colham Manor Children's Centre.

The royal mum-of-three was at the West London space on Wednesday as patron of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance, meeting with mothers and families impacted by perinatal mental health issues.

As Kate left the venue, she met "chatty" three-year-old Akeem who asked the Princess her name and at one point touched the poppy pinned to her coat lapel ahead of Remembrance Day on Friday.

A clip captured and posted to social media by Sky News journalist Rhiannon Mills shows the sweet interaction between the pair.

"Have you got a poppy?" the royal asks the little one.

"No, I haven't found one," he says, to which Kate offers: "Would you like mine?"

The happy little boy says "yes" so the Princess carefully unpins the poppy before handing it to the 3-year-old, giving the sharp pin to his mum.

"Do you know what this is for? It's for remembering all the soldiers who died in the war," Kate tells Akeem, then asking him to look after it for her.

The royal again opted for a monochromatic look, dressed in shades of deep green.

Kate donned a long wrap coat over a belted ribbed knit dress and matching moss-coloured leather heels, with a clutch in hand.

During the visit, the Princess of Wales joined a mother and baby group, speaking with mothers who had received support for their mental health in the area's integrated care system.

The princess then met representatives from agencies working across perinatal services in Hillingdon – including specialist psychiatry staff, midwives, health visitors and social workers – for a roundtable discussion.

The group discussed how services have developed to meet the needs of the most vulnerable mothers in their community, the impact this has had, and opportunities for further growth in the future.

The Princess of Wales, who focuses much of her work on early years development and mental health, was announced as patron of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance earlier this week in a special video message.

MMHA is a charity and network of 120 organisations dedicated to ensuring all women, babies, and families in the UK affected by perinatal mental health problems have access to high-quality support and compassionate care.
