Kate Middleton left in stitches by burping baby as she dances for kids

Kate Middleton was left in stitches by a burping baby, while another clung to her arm as she met mums to promote the work of “wonderful and valuable” health visitors.

The Princess of Wales chatted to the group of women, who cradled their babies in their laps, and quizzed them about the support they received at a children and family centre in Nuneaton, Warwickshire on Thursday, 15 June.

She also met privately with families who needed extra support from health visitors, dancing for one youngster and singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for the child.

The princess, who has made promoting the early years development of children a major part of her public work, also met health visitors taking part in a field study that aims to improve the assessment of babies.

During her meeting with the mums, nine-month-old Talia Saliba-Kerr grabbed the princess’s hand and hung on for a few minutes and, a little later in the conversation, grabbed hold of the royal guest again.

Her mum Mischa Kerr, from Nuneaton, who has three other children, quipped afterwards: “I was very surprised – she tried to eat the princess.

“I think it’s great she came down to see everyone, it’s important everyone knows what resources are available and what health visitors do.”

Kate said “well done you” and everyone laughed when 10-week-old Raphael Pickering gave a large burp.

Brogan Goodwin, from Nuneaton, later joked about what she would tell her son about his social mishap: “I’m going to wait until his 18th birthday and then drop it when he’s really cocky.”

Kate’s Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood has provided a £50,000 grant for the study to trial and evaluate the Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB) model, a system the princess saw in practice during a 2022 visit to Denmark that assesses how a baby interacts with its environment.

She told the health visitors she had travelled to Nuneaton: “… not only to hear about this new ADBB programme which I’m really excited about but to say thank you for the amazing job you do and to really celebrate and highlight this critical role.

“It’s such a wonderful and valuable role that you all play to the future of our whole society … ”

Kate, who went on a brief walkabout when she first arrived to meet local school children, also praised the innovative project describing it as a “wonderful pathway to supporting parents”.

Meanwhile, OK! has found out that Prince William and Kate have resigned themselves to the fact that they will remain in their Windsor home, Adelaide Cottage, for many years to come, despite Royal Lodge being originally earmarked for their young family.

A source has explained that despite the questions hovering around Royal Lodge and the costs needed to repair it, the Duke of York was provided for in Queen Elizabeth's will and, as a result, has been able to come up with the money to make essential repairs.
