KATE, the Duchess of Cambridge appears to have taken on the mantle her late mother-in-law Princess Diana left behind as the Duchess received a new nickname reminiscent of one of the Princess of Wales' monickers.

Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge has long fostered her interest in early years development through her patronage work, recently launching a new survey focused on getting Britons to share their views on how to best raise the next generation. To launch the landmark project, the Duchess of Cambridge toured the country to meet mothers and their young children for frank talks on how to improve children's development. Her commitment to the cause and the care shown to both children and mothers at the events Kate attended earned the Duchess a new nickname remarkably similar to a monicker Princess Diana earned while a working member of the Royal Family.
The late Princess of Wales came to be known as the People's Princess through her hard work in promoting charitable causes as well as to her connection to the public.
Because of her laudable efforts in improving the way children are raised across the country, Kate has now earned the nickname of "Children's Princess" after repeatedly showcasing her love for her young supporters while on official engagements.
Comments on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's shared Instagram account have made mention of the new nickname as royal fans discussed Kate's latest outings.
One user wrote: "Absolutely love that The Children's Princess is what she is being referred to as.

"Diana was The People’s Princess, and now Kate is The Children’s Princess."
Another user wrote: "That beautiful smile. The Children’s Princess."
Some users simply commented on pictures shared on the account saying, "The Children's Princess" accompanied by a series of positive emojis such as hearts or grinning emojis.
In addition to focusing her projects on advocating for better debate on mental health issues and children's early years' development, the Duchess of Cambridge has also been known to dedicate part of her time to talk with her young fans when on official outings.
During a visit to Wales last year, Kate won over supporters after discussing the love Princess Charlotte has for braids while praising a girl for her hairdo.

Last week, the Duchess surprised nursery pupils at LEYF Stockwell Gardens Nursery and Pre-School in London with a breakfast of milk, cereals and fruits before discussing with trainee chefs how important it is for their development to provide children with nutritious meals.
As she joined some of the toddlers during their meal, one girl told Kate she was her "favourite teacher" to which the Duchess smiled and said "thank you" to the girl.
During the morning, Kate opened up on what her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, love to eat.
Luke Nelson-Neil, a trainee at the LEYF Early Years Chef Academy, told Kate he “still can’t get his children to eat” beetroot.

The Duchess of Cambridge added: “It’s one of those things – until you try it, you don’t know.”
During the engagement, Kate further spoke about the nationwide survey called ‘Five Big Questions on the Under Fives’ she launched last week.
The survey, which analyses hopes and aspirations adults have for British children in their early years, has already been carried out by more than 100,000.
The Duchess revealed: “It’s great to visit places like this where communities come together to support one another.
“Last week I launched a UK wide survey on early childhood because I want to hear society’s views about raising the next generation."
