Kate Middleton shows patience as woman holds her hand for a long chat

King Charles and Queen Camilla on Thursday led senior royals to a church in Sandringham in eastern England,, greeting well-wishers in crisp winter weather.

Prince William and Kate Middleton also joined the royals with the couple's three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

When William's three children met the people who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the royals, a woman told Prince George his grandmother (Princess Diana) would be proud of his work he did during his visit to a homeless charity with his father.  

Later, the same woman held Kate Middleton's hand when the Princess of Wales separately met her and told the mother of George what she had told her son about Princess Diana.

Kate Middleton looked visibly uncomfortable as the woman kept talking instead of allowing the Princess of Wales to meet other people.

However, the future queen, while expressing excitement at what the woman told her, politely stepped back and continued her walk. 

The video of the woman talking to George and Princess Catherine has been widely circulated on social media, with royal fans praising Prince William and Kate Middleton's children.

Prince William recently took Prince George to a homelessness charity in London where the pair helped make Christmas lunch for people in need.

The visit was particularly poignant for William  because his late mother Princess Diana had taken him to the same charity when he was 11 years old, an experience which inspired him to set up a programme aimed at ending homelessness.

During the trip to the charity's centre, named The Passage, George signed the visitor's book on the same page previously signed by Diana, who was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997 when William was 15 years old.
