Royal fans spot Kate Middleton’s relatable parenting moment in resurfaced video with baby Prince George in Sydney

Royal fans are going wild over Kate Middleton’s ‘down-to-earth’ parenting moment with baby Prince George in a resurfaced video.

The Prince and Princess of Wales took their nine-month-old son Prince George with them on their tour of Australia back in April 2014.

During the three-week trip, the royal couple – who were the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the time – visited Sydney Zoo with their firstborn. 

Earlier this week, the TikTok account Royal Watcher posted a video of Prince George looking absolutely entranced by bilbies at the zoo.  

The heartwarming 10-second video shows George bouncing up and down in delight as he met the animal who had been named after him while his mother supports him. 

In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it-moment, the royal mother quickly reaches over and wipes away a bit of George’s dribble with her hand.

As the zookeeper reaches over into the exhibit, Kate then discreetly wiped her hand on the hem of her yellow dress.

The royal fan who runs the account wrote: ‘Kate wiping Prince George’s dribble on her dress.

‘Such a down to earth Mummy!’ 

The clip has amassed almost 200,000 views since it was uploaded yesterday – and fans were delighted by Kate’s relatable parenting moment.

One wrote: ‘Lol – down to earth!’

Another added: ‘WOW, she’s one up on me. I didn’t see the dribble!’ 

Meanwhile, others responded with heart emojis in reference to baby Prince George.

During the engagement, Prince William was totally fearless as the bilby came over to eat out of his hands and George also reached out to stroke the creature. 

However, parents protectively pulled him back.

‘He’s trying to grab his ear,’ said Kate.

‘If he gets it he’ll never let go,’ said William, who kissed the top of his son’s head.

As the keeper went to coax the bilby closer to George, Kate stepped in to stop him, thinking it a bad idea.

‘He’s got quite a strong grab actually,’ she said.

Greater bilbies are rabbit-like creatures with large ears that pick up the sounds of insects and have long noses to sniffs out seeds and bulbs.

They were once common in Australia’s grassy woodlands but have been driven to the verge of extinction by predators such as foxes and cats and competition from rabbits, all introduced to the country by British settlers.
