A young child then asked Kate: "Who are you?"

Giving a child a high-five, she gave a surprising reply: "Who am I? I'm married to William."

The princess pointed to her left while giving her reply, even though the Prince of Wales wasn't seen on screen.

Kate added: “I know! It was very nice to meet all of you."

The mother-of-three's answer showed her supportive role to Prince William, who is the current heir to the throne.

Royal biographer Penny Junor said: "She’s never trying to outshine him in any way.

"I think that Kate is a bit like Prince Philip supporting the Queen.
