Prince William, the Prince of Wales, met a baby of 4 weeks on an outing in Ilminster, and his face lit up. In a video that circulated online, he spoke to a mother who was waiting with the child in her arms.
He asked, "How old?" She answered, "4 weeks," and he said, "4 weeks!" He asked if it was her "first one." Hearing it was her second, he waved a hand and said, "Dab hand," in a reassuring tone. William, a father of 3, then joked, "Don't move," because the baby stayed asleep on her through the conversation.
Fans praised him for stopping. One wrote, "William is a beautiful human being who is so much like his Mum was." Another wrote, "This is why people love William.
So natural and caring, asking about the baby sleeping! Future king with such a kind heart."
Princess Catherine, known for her fondness for babies and for getting broody around newborns, was not with him. The account said she will surely be missing the moment.
