Kate, who is promoting hergroundbreaking survey called “5 Big Questions on the Under Fives”on behalf of her focus on early childhood development, also recalled the first moment she held George in her arms.

“I didn’t know, no it was a surprise. But also seeing… you know your husband, William, and things like that. Seeing the pure joy of his face it was really special,” she said.
While she kept her royal composure on the hospital steps the next day, Kate admits that she had a hard first night after the birth of her first child.
“Everything goes in a bit of a blur. I think, yeah I did stay in hospital overnight, I remember it was one of the hottest days and night with huge thunderstorms so I didn’t get a huge amount of sleep, but George did, which was really great,” she shared. “I was keen to get home because, for me, being in hospital, I had all the memories of being in hospital because of being sick [with acute morning sickness] so it wasn’t a place I wanted to hang around in. So, I was really desperate to get home and get back to normality.”
