Princess Kate's secret pub outing with Princess Charlotte for very relatable reason
The trappings of royalty do not insulate them from the problems familiar to all parents, as Princess Kate found out on an outing with her daughter Princess Charlotte.
Let’s be honest, every parent has been there. No matter how many times you ask your child before you set off, no matter how much you limit their fluid intake throughout, it is as inevitable as taxes that at some point in the journey, your child will turn to you and say those dreaded words - I need the toilet.
Royalty is not immune from this parenting inevitably, as the Princess of Wales can surely testify.
Onlookers in a Stockwell pub could not believe their eyes in 2018 when they looked up from their drinks to see Princess Kate walk in hand in hand with Princess Charlotte to ask if they could use the facilities.
Stunned customers commented on how normal the pair looked. Regular Maggie McKinney said: “I was sitting in my usual chair and when I looked up I saw Kate Middleton, I mean the Duchess of Cambridge and her daughter Princess Charlotte.
“The little kiddie just trotted in with her mum, went to the toilet and then trotted out. They could not have been in the pub for more than ten minutes.

“They seem very nice, totally normal. Princess Kate was holding her daughter's hand. Princess Charlotte was just any other little girl.”
Prior to their entrance, a close protection officer had entered the pub and asked for permission to use the bathroom, whilst of course ensuring that the building was safe for the future Queen and her daughter.
More recently, Kate has returned to the spotlight after announcing the end of her chemotherapy treatment.

The family recently attended the Big Help Out and were seen carrying out tasks, melting marshmallows and taking part in a game of archery.
Charlotte stole the show, crashing an arrow straight into the bullseye on her first attempt.
Kate is expected to manage her return to public life carefully and is expected to continue to work behind the scenes on the causes, issues and charities closest to her heart.
