The royals get to meet thousands of people every year through their public engagements, including babies and children.
The likes of Queen Camilla, the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh often make a beeline for the youngest members of the public, and we've seen some sweet interactions over the years.
Kate, in particular, is renowned for her natural rapport with youngsters and has often been dubbed as the "Children's Princess".
The Princess's interest in the early years has been called her "life's work" and she's never shy about getting involved in activities and sports with children during her outings.
Take a look back at some of our favourite heartwarming moments when Camilla, Kate and Sophie have shown their maternal side in public.
