Prince George learnt how to make pancakes at nursery on Shrove Tuesday (28.02.17).
The three-year-old son of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge had to attend The Maria Montessori Institute in London while his 35-year-old mother was opening the new Evelina London Children’s Hospital in Lambeth, south London, and Catherine revealed he was making the sweet treat while she was on duty.
When asked by four-year-old James Wheeler where George was, she told him: "George? I should have brought him. He’s at his Montessori nursery today making pancakes."
Catherine got to speak with James’ mother Rebecca Bridges-Wheeler, who was overcome with emotion speaking about her son’s early arrival at 23 weeks old.
Wellling up, she shared: "I got a bit emotional talking to Catherine. It sometimes just rises up. She stopped talking and let me compose myself. You could see the sympathy in her eyes. She was so warm and down-to-earth."
Catherine – who also has 21-month-old daughter Princess Charlotte with William – took time out of her busy schedule to visit the new centre near Lambeth Palace, which features 59 bedrooms and cost £13 million to build with funding from the Ronald McDonald Charities.
The brunette beauty officially opened the new hospital by hanging a plaque to mark her visit.
She was then given a guided tour of each unit before talking to the families of the children who will benefit from the work of the staff and the modern facilities.
Catherine told another parent they were "extraordinary" and that she "can’t imagine" how they are dealing with their child Mia Mifsud’s rare illness, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease.
The three-year-old girl bravely had her kidneys taken out and is waiting on a transplant, which she can’t have until she puts on weight.
Luckily for Mia her father, Dion Mifsud, is a match and he is to donate his own kidney to his little girl.
Mia’s mother, Danielle, was full of praise of the staff at the new centre.
She said: "It’s the best hospital. The renal team is just amazing."
