Bundled up in bright skiwear, Prince William and Kate Middleton threw snowballs at each other and delighted as their pink-cheeked children, Prince George, 2, and Princess Charlotte, 10 months, romped in the snow during a recent family trip to the French Alps. She always leaves a little gift or something in their room when we go and stay.

Our Queen at Ninety will air on ITV in the United Kingdom on Easter Sunday, March 27.

After facing criticisms over her lavish royal lifestyle, 34-year-old Kate Middleton is once again in a middle of a public backlash after she abandoned a 115-year-old St. Patrick’s tradition to be with her children. “It’s very special having a new little girl”, she says.

She said: ‘George is only two-and-a-half and he calls her “Gan-Gan”.

She chose a book featuring Prince George’s “favourite character” Fireman Sam, and a Beatrix Potter Tom Kitten figurine for Princess Charlotte.

It was first assumed that the little royal called the Queen either “granny” or “nanny”.

During the tour of the EACH shop Kate met volunteers, supporters and staff. One volunteer from the EACH Long Stratton store spoke with the Duchess of Cambridge about cookbooks.

“And I told him I really wasn’t sure what to say to that”.

The charity, which has three hospices in Cambridge, Norfolk and Ipswich, offers support to more than 700 children, young people and family members.

Kate adds that she had been feeling “rather apprehensive” about a visit to Leicester without her husband, but her mother-in-law had been “very supportive”.

The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, also contributed to the documentary paying tribute to his grandmother “Growing up, having this figurehead, having this stability above me has been incredible”, he said. “I have been able to explore, understand, slightly carve my own path. I greatly appreciate and value that protection”. “All the cameras were coming in and she was saying: “You are all getting in my way, I can’t see” and she started crying”. While the Kensington Palace explained the Duchess’ absence, many still criticized her decisions on social media. “She had to laugh a little bit”.
