A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl told Kate “I’m a princess today” in an adorable show-stealing appearance on a royal video call.
The Duchess of Cambridge looked delighted as Isla climbed onto her mum’s lap during a call with mums who received baby bank support during the pandemic.
Cheeky Isla asked to say hello to the duchess after hearing mum Vicky Jones telling Kate how “she keeps me entertained and happy” during lockdown.
The duchess asked: “Is that your daughter?”
Vicky replied: “Yeah. She’s very sweet. Very noisy. I’m surprised she’s sitting quietly at the minute. Can she say hello to you quickly?
Delighted Kate replied: “I’d love that.”
Wearing a sparkly headband and pink dress Isla climbed onto her mum’s lap.
Kate said: “Hi Isla. You look very nice today. I love your hairband.”
Isla replied: “I’m a princess today.”
Then peered past the duchess on the laptop screen and out the window saying: “It’s snowing outside.”
Smiling Kate fired back: “No way! Have you been outside? Have you made a snowman yet?”
But Vicky joked: “No, mummy’s too cold.”
Single mum Vicky has been using donations from Little Village for three years and scored a job as a part-time creche worker.
Little Village baby bank provides clothes, toys and equipment for babies and children up to the age of five.
Last year alone they donated 4,610 nappies to babies in London and this year is celebrating its fifth anniversary.
Vicky said: “It was my first child I was so scared I felt on my own a lot.
“My midwife said there is a charity that can help with clothes. I had never heard of them before.
“I felt nervous. What will people think about me? Will they judge me? But the minute I walked in it was a huge family unity.”
Last summer Kate brought together 19 British brands to donate 25,000 baby clothes and supplies to vulnerable families during the pandemic.
Kate told Vicky: “It must be such a lifetime for you to have a support network not just for you but also for your daughter as well.
“This pandemic has been hard. I know parenting is difficult anyway and I know it’s been exacerbated by the pandemic.
“In August, Kate helped to unpack donations at Baby Basics UK in Sheffield.
There are more than 100 baby banks supporting parents across the country.
