The Princess of Wales joined a group of students on a field trip to the National Portrait Gallery in London.
The Princess joined young primary school students on the school bus to visit the National Portrait Gallery, of which she is a patron.
Upon getting on the bus, the royal was heard telling the pupils, “My name’s Catherine and I’m going to come on your school trip today.”
She made sure the students had their seatbelts on before heading out to the museum and acted as a chaperon for the four and five-year-olds at All Souls CE Primary School. The royal was seen holding children’s hands as they entered the museum and later played I-Spy with them.
The headteacher later praised the Princess, saying: “Catherine was great, very chatty with the children, and it felt like a very relaxing outing. She helped the children. It was so much fun.”

The Princess of Wales later released a statement on her trip on social media: “It was fantastic to see The Centre for Early Childhood’s Shaping Us Framework, which is based on key science, expressed in such an innovative, creative and fun way at the National Portrait Gallery today.
“The Bobeam Tree Trail is a brilliant example of how organisations can embrace the principles of social and emotional development, and the Centre’s framework, to engage children and families in their communities.
“I hope that many people will be able to enjoy it over the coming weeks! Thank you to the National Portrait Gallery and to the staff and pupils of All Souls CE Primary School for a brilliant day.”
Catherine was able to help show the children around Bobeam Tree Trail, part of her Shaping Us early years project. The trail was developed by the National Portrait Gallery and the Centre for Early Childhood.
The project is aimed at “supporting young children in the development of crucial social and emotional skills,” according to Kensington Palace.
