Meghan Markle’s Awkward Baby Moment Resurfaces After Kate Charms Little Girl in Italy — Watch
Kate Middleton’s sweet interaction with a little baby in Italy has fans bringing up an old Meghan Markle clip again.
Kate Middleton is finally out and about on an international trip for the first time since her cancer diagnosis. The two-day trip from May 13-14 is taking place in Italy, where she will spend her time in Reggio Emilia. She was greeted by royal fans in huge numbers, and among the adults, there was also a baby waiting to meet her.
Known as the ‘Children’s Princess’, she always lights up, especially in the company of babies. And this time too, Kate didn't disappoint! The mother of 3-year-old Elena held her up to the Princess of Wales, and she played tenderly with the little munchkin. The adorable moment quickly gained traction among fans, and it went viral on social media platforms. However, online users started to compare the moment with Meghan Markle’s incident, leading to critical reactions.
An Instagram user brought back a clip from Markle’s trip to Australia, where she was seen greeting a mother holding a baby during a public outing. In the video, the Duchess appears to smile and lean toward the child as the mother briefly tries to hand the baby over, but the child quickly becomes upset and starts crying moments later. The caption of the post read, “Babies and kids have a strong sense of a person’s energy, I feel. They can easily pick up on positive energy and detect negative energy.” Watch the video here!
The user who shared the reel suggested that the Princess’ sweet interaction with the baby showed her “pure” energy, while comparing it to the earlier clip of Markle during the Australia trip. Needless to say, it quickly got netizens flocking to the comments. A lot of users seemed to agree with the comparison. One person wrote, “Babies are the best judge of character,” while another commented, “Kids never lie. They know which is Queen and nobody.”
Middleton’s two-day trip to Reggio Emilia is focused on her long-running work around supporting children under five and improving early childhood education. Her visit to the northern Italian city, famous for its innovative approach to raising and teaching children, is meant to be both a learning experience and a chance to take the conversation to the next level.
The future Queen wants to help turn early childhood development into a much bigger global discussion, similar to the attention issues like climate change receive. Joining her on the trip is Christian Guy, the executive director of the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, who also believes in and shares the same vision.
