The youngster seemed to be interested in the poppy pin Kate was wearing. Kate took it off her coat as she asked: "Do you know what this is for?"

She then explained: "It's for remembering all the soldiers who died in the war. There you go — that's for you." Kate then gave Akeem her pin.

The video was shared on Instagram and fans have been gushing about Kate's kind actions. Many commenters likened her mother-in-law, to the later Princess Diana, with one person commenting: "Her interaction with these kiddos reminds me so much of Princess Diana."

Another fan agreed: "I said the same thing to my husband. Love her so much. Such compassion for others," while a third person said: "Just like Diana… Beautiful."

"Such a special lady, it is easy to see why William loves her so much. Diana would be so proud," a fourth fan gushed.

With Kate now carrying out public duties, her latest engagement was meeting with the families of victims and emergency workers who were caught up in the horrific Taylor Swift-themed party stabbings in Southport, England.

After a private meeting with the victims, Prince William and Kate went on to thank brave rescue crews who rushed to save children stabbed in the ordeal. Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Da Silva Aguiar, nine, died as a result of their catastrophic injuries when a knifeman broke into a Taylor Swift-themed dance party on July 30.

Dance teacher Leanne Lucas, 35, was also critically wounded after being stabbed in the neck, back and arms as she fought to protect her class. The unannounced trip to Merseyside was William and Kate ’s first joint official outing since she ended her chemotherapy treatment.
