Kate Middleton Plays With Local Children During Latest Public Appearance
The video in question features Kate Middleton in her St. Patrick’s Day finery: a calf-length forest-green coat belted at the waist and paired with black stiletto boots. Her hair was slicked back in a braided updo—which fashion stylist Leane Jones says is “a nod to Irish heritage and Celtic folklore”—and a chic green fascinator in the same shade as her coat.
She didn’t let her elegant outfit stop her from spending time with some local children, tough! In the now-viral video, Kate can be seen kneeling down and speaking with two young girls and holding their hands as they jumped around at her knees. The whole time, she has the biggest grin on her face as others in the room look on fondly.

Social Media Reactions
The video has over 20,000 likes on Instagram and hundreds of comments as well, with royal fans leaving messages like, "She loves children more than anything and the children love her!"
"Think of when those little angels grow up and realize they were playing with the Queen of England!" another person commented.
"So sweet to watch!" a third person posted.
