Kate Middleton reflected on how quickly her children are growing up.
On Thursday, Sept. 4, Princess Kate and Prince William paid a visit to the Natural History Museum in London to tour the institution’s newly renovated gardens.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 43, stopped to chat with some locals outside the museum, including one who asked after the couple’s children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.
“They’re getting big now,” Kate said, gesturing with her hand that they were almost as tall as her, as seen in a video shared on TikTok.
She added, “George is already in my shoes,” seeming to indicate that they wore the same size.

Prince William and Princess Kate’s royal outing came just a day after the children’s return to school. This year will be the last that George, Charlotte and Louis will all be enrolled together at Lambrook School, as Prince George will age out of the coeducational prep school next summer when he turns 13.
While the family hasn’t yet made an official announcement about where he will attend next, Prince William’s alma mater, Eton College, has been earmarked as the front-runner.
