Kate Middleton Did Her Parenting Move 3 Times—and Didn't Mind Getting Dirty in the Process

While there, the Princess was seen engaging with the scouts and even did her iconic parenting move three times. The move involves the Princess crouching down to eye level with children. The parenting tip is used to create a level playing field and establish trust with a child, making them feel more at ease while talking to adults. She wasn’t afraid of getting dirty either, as she was spotted sitting in the grass while performing her move.

After the event, a video showing highlights from the day was posted to the Prince and Princess of Wales’s Instagram account with the caption, “Celebrating nature with @flotus, @dwaynefields and @scouts. Today's activities show how time spent appreciating the natural world can inspire young people, as well as nurturing the values of friendship and cooperation.”

An additional carousel of photographs followed, showing Kate and Melania laughing and having a good time with the children. “Introducing First Lady Melania Trump to Chief Scout Dwayne Fields and a group of young Scouts from the Squirrels programme at Windsor today. Both our nations are fortunate to share a love of the great outdoors, and it was inspiring to spend time focusing on the importance of nature as the Squirrels worked towards their ‘Go Wild’ badge,” the post was captioned. 

An eventful week for the royals, indeed.
